Let $A$ be a regular 2-dimensional local ring of characteristic $p>0$, and let $L/K$ be a cyclic extension of degree $p$ of its field of fractions such that the corresponding branch divisor is normal crossing. For each $\gp\in\Spec A$ of…
There is a known analogy between growth questions for class groups and for Selmer groups. If $p$ is a prime, then the $p$-torsion of the ideal class group grows unboundedly in $\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}$-extensions of a fixed number field $K$,…
Let $A$ and $B$ be abelian varieties defined over the function field $k(S)$ of a smooth algebraic variety $S/k.$ We establish criteria, in terms of restriction maps to subvarieties of $S,$ for existence of various important classes of…
Let $\rho\colon G\to \mathrm{GL}_2(K)$ be a continuous representation of a compact group $G$ over a complete discretely valued field $K$, with ring of integers $\mathcal O$ and uniformiser $\pi$. We prove that $\operatorname{tr}\rho$ is…
Let E/F be a CM field split above a finite place v of F, let l be a rational prime number which is prime to v, and let S be the set of places of E dividing lv. If E_S denotes a maximal algebraic extension of E unramified outside S, and if u…
Vl{\u a}du{\c t} characterized in 1999 the set of finite fields $k$ such that all elliptic curves defined over $k$ have a cyclic group of rational points. Under the conjecture of infinitely many Mersenne primes, this set is infinite. In…
The Brill-Noether Theorem gives necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a linear series. Here we consider a general n-fold, etale cyclic cover p of a curve C of genus g and investigate for which numbers r,d a linear series…
Let K be the function field of a smooth projective surface over a finite field. In this article, following the work of Parimala and Suresh, we establish a local-global principle for the divisibility of elements in H^3(K,Z/l) by elements in…
Let k be a non-archimedean local field with residual characteristic p. Let G be a connected reductive group over k that splits over a tamely ramified field extension of k. Suppose p does not divide the order of the Weyl group of G. Then we…
Let A be an abelian variety over a number field k. We show that weak approximation holds in the Weil-Ch\^atelet group of A/k but that it may fail when one restricts to the n-torsion subgroup. This failure is however relatively mild; we show…
Let $p$ be a prime number, $k$ an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$, $\tilde{G}$ a finite group, and $G$ a normal subgroup of $\tilde{G}$ having a $p$-power index in $\tilde{G}$. Moreover let $B$ be a block of $kG$ with a…
As an application of P. Delgine's theorem (Esnault and Kerz in Acta Math. Vietnam. 37:531-562, 2012) on a finiteness of $l$-adic sheaves on a variety over a finite field, we show the finiteness of \'etale coverings of such a variety with…
For an algebraic number field $K$ and a prime number $p$, let $\widetilde{K}/K$ be the maximal multiple $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extension. Greenberg's generalized conjecture (GGC) predicts that the Galois group of the maximal unramified abelian…
Let $G$ be an algebraic group, $X$ a generically free $G$-variety, and $K=k(X)^G$. A field extension $L$ of $K$ is called a splitting field of $X$ if the image of the class of $X$ under the natural map $H^1(K, G) \mapsto H^1(L, G)$ is…
We prove a strengthening of the Grothendieck-Lefschetz hyperplane theorem for local Picard groups conjectured by Koll\'ar. Our approach, which relies on acyclicity results for absolute integral closures, also leads to a restriction theorem…
In this note we prove a certain multiplicity formula regarding the restriction of an irreducible admissible genuine representation of a 2-fold cover $\widetilde{{\rm GL}}_{2}(E)$ of ${\rm GL}_{2}(E)$ to the 2-fold cover $\widetilde{{\rm…
{We use the recent proof of Jacquet's conjecture due to Harris and Kudla, and the Burger-Sarnak principle to give a proof about the relationship between the existence of trilinear forms on representations of $GL_2(k_u)$ for a…
We show that if two division $p$-algebras of prime degree share an inseparable field extension of the center then they also share a cyclic separable one. We show that the converse is in general not true. We also point out that sharing all…
Consider a very general abelian variety $A$ of dimension at least $3$ and an integer $0<d\leq \dim A$. We show that if the map $A^k\to CH_0(A)$ has a $d$-dimensional fiber then $k\geq d+(\dim A+1)/2$. This extends results of the…
We show that finite quasisimple groups of Lie type in characteristic $p$ with an irreducible representation of prime degree $r$ over a finite field of characteristic $p$ have orders bounded above by a function of $r$, independent of $p$. We…
