Any polynomial $f(x)\in\mathbb{Z}_q[x]$ defines a Witt vector $[f]\in W(\mathbb{F}_q[x])$. Consider the Artin-Schreier-Witt tower $y^F-y=[f]$. This is a tower of curves over $\mathbb{F}_q$, with total Galois group $\mathbb{Z}_p$. We want to…

In this paper we consider a tower of number fields $\cdots \supseteq K(1) \supseteq K(0) \supseteq K$ arising naturally from a continuous $p$-adic representation of $\mathrm{Gal}(\bar{\mathbb{Q}}/K)$, referred to as a $p$-adic Lie tower…

The p-class tower $F_p^\infty(k)$ of a number field k is its maximal unramified pro-p extension. It is considered to be known when the p-tower group, that is the Galois group $G:=Gal(F_p^\infty(k)/k)$, can be identified by an explicit…

We fix a monic polynomial $\bar f(x) \in \mathbb{F}_q[x]$ over a finite field of characteristic $p$, and consider the $\mathbb{Z}_{p^{\ell}}$-Artin-Schreier-Witt tower defined by $\bar f(x)$; this is a tower of curves $\cdots \to C_m \to…

Let k be a perfect field of characteristic p and let $W_n(k)$ denote the p-typical Witt vectors of length n. For example, $W_n(\mathbb{F}_p)=\mathbb{Z}/p^n$. We study the algebraic K-theory of $W_n(k)$, and prove that $K(W_n(k))$ satisfies…

Let $p$ be an odd prime number. We study growth patterns associated with finitely ramified Galois groups considered over the various number fields varying in a $\mathbb{Z}_p$-tower. These Galois groups can be considered as non-commutative…

Let $p$ be a prime and let $F$ be a number field. Consider a Galois extension $K/F$ with Galois group $H\rtimes \Delta$ where $H\cong \mathbb{Z}_p$ or $\mathbb{Z}/p^d\mathbb{Z}$, and $\Delta$ is an arbitrary Galois group. The subfields…

To extend Iwasawa's classical theorem from ${\mathbb Z}_p$-towers to ${\mathbb Z}_p^d$-towers, Greenberg conjectured that the exponent of $p$ in the $n$-th class number in a ${\mathbb Z}_p^d$-tower of a global field $K$ ramified at finitely…

Let k be a number field, p$\ge$2 a prime and S a set of tame or wild finite places of k. We call K/k a totally S-ramified cyclic p-tower if Gal(K/k)=Z/p^NZ and if S non-empty is totally ramified. Using analogues of Chevalley's formula…

This paper contains three parts. In the first part, we give a thorough overview of the theory of Artin-Schreier-Witt extensions: this theory allows one to understand the $\mathbf{Z}/p^n\mathbf{Z}$-extensions of any field $K$ of…

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic $q$, $\cac$ a smooth geometrically connected curve defined over $k$ with function field $K:=k(\cac)$. Let $A/K$ be a non constant abelian variety defined over $K$ of dimension $d$. We assume that $q=0$…

Cohen and Lenstra have given a heuristic which, for a fixed odd prime $p$, leads to many interesting predictions about the distribution of $p$-class groups of imaginary quadratic fields. We extend the Cohen-Lenstra heuristic to a…

Let T be a free Z_p-module of finite rank equipped with a continuous Z_p-linear action of the absolute Galois group of a number field K satisfying certain conditions. In this article, by using a Selmer group corresponding to T, we give a…

For a finite abelian p-group A of rank d, we define its (logarithmic) mean exponent to be the base-p logarithm of the d-th root of its cardinality. We study the behavior of the mean exponent of p-class groups in towers of number fields. By…

In these notes, we explore possible stable properties for the zeta function of a geometric Zp-tower of curves over a finite field of characteristic p, in the spirit of Iwasawa theory. A number of fundamental questions and conjectures are…

In this work, we show that given a finite p-group G, a number field K having a trivial p-class group Cl K , and a finite set of primes S of K, there exists a finite extension F/K such that the S-split p-Hilbert class field tower L S p (F )…

Let $p$ be an odd prime. For a number field $K$, we let $K_\infty$ be the maximal unramified pro-$p$ extension of $K$; we call the group $\mathrm{Gal}(K_\infty/K)$ the $p$-class tower group of $K$. In a previous work, as a non-abelian…

For a fixed prime p, the p-class tower F(p,infinity,K) of a number field K is considered to be known if a pro-p presentation of the Galois group H = Gal( F(p,infinity,K)/K ) is given. In the last few years, it turned out that the Artin…
