We give a construction of the genus field for Kummer $\ell^n$-cyclic extensions of rational congruence function fields, where $\ell$ is a prime number. First, we compute the genus field of a field contained in a cyclotomic function field,…
This survey describes some recent work, by the authors and others, on the existence of algebraic fibrations of group extensions, as well as the finiteness properties of their algebraic fibers, in the realm of both abstract and pro-$p$…
We define a class of pre-ordered abelian groups that we call finite-by-Presburger groups, and prove that their theory is model-complete. We show that certain quotients of the multiplicative group of a local field of characteristic zero are…
The main purpose of this paper is to describe the abelian part $\mathcal G^{ab}_{K}$ of the absolute Galois group of a global function field $K$ as pro-finite group. We will show that the characteristic $p$ of $K$ and the non $p$-part of…
Class field theory furnishes an intrinsic description of the abelian extensions of a number field that is in many cases not of an immediate algorithmic nature. We outline the algorithms available for the explicit computation of such…
We study the distribution of extensions of a number field $k$ with fixed abelian Galois group $G$, from which a given finite set of elements of $k$ are norms. In particular, we show the existence of such extensions. Along the way, we show…
We develop Kummer theory for algebraic function fields in finitely many transcendental variables. We consider any finitely generated Kummer extension (possibly, over a cyclotomic extension) of an algebraic function field, and describe the…
We describe a deterministic process to associate a practical, permanent label to isomorphism classes of abelian varieties defined over finite fields with commutative endomorphism algebra as long as they are ordinary or defined over a prime…
We introduce and study some families of groups whose irreducible characters take values on quadratic extensions of the rationals. We focus mostly on a generalization of inverse semi-rational groups, which we call uniformly semi-rational…
We compute the higher ramification groups and the Artin conductors of radical extensions of the rationals. As an application, we give formulas for their discriminant (using the conductor-discriminant formula). The interest in such number…
This paper surveys the methods that have been used to attack the conjecture, still open, that an abelian variety over a characteristic $0$ field with finitely generated Galois group is always of infinite rank.
The genus spectrum of a finite group $G$ is the set of all $g$ such that $G$ acts faithfully on a compact Riemann surface of genus $g$. It is an open problem to find a general description of the genus spectrum of the groups in interesting…
We consider the generalization of the extended genus field of a prime degree cyclic Kummer extension of a rational function field obtained by R. Clement in 1992 to general Kummer extensions. We observe that the same approach of Clement…
In this paper, we classify the possible group structures on the set of $R$-valued points of an abelian variety, where $R$ is any real closed field. We make use of a family of abelian varieties that, in effect, allows one to quantify over…
We show that the semi-simplicity conjecture for finitely generated fields follows from the conjunction of the semi-simplicity conjecture for finite fields and for the maximal abelian extension of the field of rational numbers.
For finite extensions of a rational function field over a finite field, we prove a "P-adic class formula" in the spirit Taelman's work.
We construct and study fields F with the property that F has infinitely many extensions of some fixed degree, but E*/(E*)^n is finite for every finite extension E of F and every n>0.
We prove that the dual fine Selmer group of an abelian variety over the unramified $\mathbb{Z}_{p}$-extension of a function field is finitely generated over $\mathbb{Z}_{p}$. This is a function field version of a conjecture of…
In this note some properties of the sum of element orders of a finite abelian group are studied.
We show finiteness results on torsion points of commutative algebraic groups over a $p$-adic field $K$ with values in various algebraic extensions $L/K$ of infinite degree. We mainly study the following cases: (1) $L$ is an abelian…
