In this paper, we establish the explicit lower bound estimates for the rank of universal quadratic forms in some certain families of real cubic fields under the condition of density one. The more general results that represent all multiples…

To a family of smooth projective cubic surfaces one can canonically associate a family of abelian fivefolds. In characteristic zero, we calculate the Hodge groups of the abelian varieties which arise in this way. In arbitrary characteristic…

We investigate the large values of class numbers of cubic fields, showing that one can find arbitrary long sequences of "close" abelian cubic number fields with class numbers as large as possible. We also give a first step toward an…

The paper has three main applications. The first one is this Hilbert-Grunwald statement. If $f:X\rightarrow \Pp^1$ is a degree $n$ $\Qq$-cover with monodromy group $S_n$ over $\bar\Qq$, and finitely many suitably big primes $p$ are given…

Cubic forms in three variables are parametrised by points of $\P^9$. We study the subvarieties in this space defined by decomposable forms. Specifically, we calculate the equivariant minimal resolutions of these varieties and describe their…

We develop a constructive process which determines all extreme points of the unit ball of the space of $m$--linear forms, $m\geq1.$ Our method provides a full characterization of the geometry of that space through finitely many elementary…

We give an algorithm that constructs a minimal set of polynomials defining all extension of a $(\pi)$-adic field with given, inertia degree, ramification index, discriminant, ramification polygon, and residual polynomials of the segments of…

We realize infinitely many covering groups $2.A_n$ (where $A_n$ is the alternating group) as the Galois group of everywhere unramified Galois extensions over infinitely many quadratic number fields. After several predecessor works…

We give defining equations for function fields over finite fields with many rational places. They are obtained from composita of quadratic extensions of the rational function field.

We study and partially classify cubic rational expressions $g(x)/h(x)$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$, up to pre- and post-composition with independent M\"obius transformations. In particular, we obtain a full classification when $q$ is…

We complete a classification of quadratic forms over a field of characteristic 2 of type (1,3) that become isotropic over the function field of a quadric.

We present an alternative account of the problem of classifying and finding normal forms for arbitrary bilinear forms. Beginning from basic results developed by Riehm, our solution to this problem hinges on the classification of…

In this paper we consider the problem of classifying the isomorphism classes of extensions of degree pk of a p-adic field, restricting to the case of extensions without intermediate fields. We establish a correspondence between the…
