Let F be a local henselian nonarchimedean field of residual field k, and let G be the group of F-points of a connected reductive group defined over F. It is well-known that the quotient of any parahoric subgroup of G by its first congruence…

Let $K$ be a finitely generated extension of $\mathbb{Q}$. We consider the family of $\ell$-adic representations ($\ell$ varies through the set of all prime numbers) of the absolute Galois group of $K$, attached to $\ell$-adic cohomology of…

This paper proves that if $E$ is a field, such that the Galois group $\mathcal{G}(E(p)/E)$ of the maximal $p$-extension $E(p)/E$ is a Demushkin group of finite rank $r(p)_{E} \ge 3$, for some prime number $p$, then $\mathcal{G}(E(p)/E)$…

Let $K$ be a field and $G$ be a group of its automorphisms. If $G$ is precompact then $K$ is a generator of the category of smooth (i.e. with open stabilizers) $K$-semilinear representations of $G$. There are non-semisimple smooth…

We give a generalization of the classical Bombieri--Schneider--Lang criterion in transcendence theory. We give a local notion of $LG$--germ, which is similar to the notion of $E$-- function and Gevrey condition, and which generalize (and…

Let G be reductive algebraic group over a field k, such that every semisimple normal subgroup of G has isotropic rank >=2. Let K_1^G be the non-stable K_1-functor associated to G (also called the Whitehead group of G in the field case). We…

Given a number field $k$, we show that, for many finite groups $G$, all the Galois extensions of $k$ with Galois group $G$ cannot be obtained by specializing any given finitely many Galois extensions $E/k(T)$ with Galois group $G$ and $E/k$…

We produce a new family of polynomials f(x) over fields K of characteristic 2 which are exceptional, in the sense that f(x)-f(y) has no absolutely irreducible factors in K[x,y] besides the scalar multiples of x-y; when K is finite, this…

Let K be a field and G a finite group. The question of 'admissibility' of G over K was originally posed by Schacher, who gave partial results in the case K = Q. In this paper, we give necessary conditions for admissibility of a finite group…

We study the automorphisms of a function field of genus $g\geq 2$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. More precisely, we show that the order of a nilpotent subgroup $G$ of its automorphism group is bounded by $16…

Using Stickelberger's theorem on Gauss sums, we show that if $F$ is a planar function on a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$, then for all non-zero functions $G : \mathbb{F}_q \to \mathbb{F}_q$, we have \begin{equation*} d_{\mathsf{alg}}(G \circ…

A Mumford curve of genus g (>1) over a non-archimedean valued field k of positive characteristic has at most max{12(g-1), 2 g^(1/2) (g^(1/2)+1)^2} automorphisms. This bound is sharp in the sense that there exist Mumford curves of arbitrary…
