For $E/K$ an elliptic curve without complex multiplication we bound the index of the image of $\operatorname{Gal}(\bar{K}/K)$ in $\operatorname{GL}_2(\hat{\mathbb{Z}})$, the representation being given by the action on the Tate modules of…

Motivated by the work of Lubotzky, we use Galois cohomology to study the difference between the number of generators and the minimal number of relations in a presentation of the Galois group $G_S(k)$ of the maximal extension of a global…

An abelian variety over a field K is said to have big monodromy, if the image of the Galois representation on l-torsion points, for almost all primes l contains the full symplectic group. We prove that all abelian varieties over a finitely…

In this article I define and study the overconvergent rigid fundamental group of a variety over an equicharacteristic local field. This is a non-abelian $(\varphi,\nabla)$-module over the bounded Robba ring $\mathcal{E}_K^\dagger$, whose…

We show that families of coverings of an algebraic curve where the associated Cayley-Schreier graphs form an expander family exhibit strong forms of geometric (genus and gonality) growth. Combining this general result with finiteness…

Let $A$ be an abelian variety over the function field $K$ of a curve over a finite field. We describe several mild geometric conditions ensuring that the group $A(K^{\rm perf})$ is finitely generated and that the $p$-primary torsion…

Let $X$ be a normal proper variety over a perfect field $k$. We describe abelian coverings of X in terms of the functor $\underline{\rm HDiv}_X$ of principal relative Cartier divisors on $X$. If the base field $k$ is finite, the geometric…

In positive characteristic, algebraic curves can have many more automorphisms than expected from the classical Hurwitz's bound. There even exist algebraic curves of arbitrary high genus g with more than 16g^4 automorphisms. It has been…

Let $(R,\mathfrak{m}, k)$ be a strictly local normal $k$-domain of positive characteristic and $P$ be a prime divisor on $X=\text{Spec } R$. We study the Galois category of finite covers over $X$ that are at worst tamely ramified over $P$…

Let K be a finitely generated field over Q, and A an abelian variety over K. Let <, > : A(K^a) x A(K^a) --> R be an arithmetic height pairing on A, where K^a is the algebric closure of K. For x_1,..., x_l \in A(K^a), we denote det(<x_i,…

We study the \'{e}tale fundamental groups of singular reduced connected curves defined over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary prime characteristic. It is shown that when the curve is projective, the \'{e}tale fundamental group is a…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $\mathcal{U} (\mathbb{Z} G)$ the unit group of the integral group ring $\mathbb{Z} G$. We prove a unit theorem, namely a characterization of when $\mathcal{U}(\mathbb{Z}G)$ satisfies Kazhdan's property…

Suppose $X$ is a hyperelliptic curve of genus $g$ defined over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p=2$. We prove that the de Rham cohomology of $X$ decomposes into pieces indexed by the branch points of the hyperelliptic…

Given a Galois cover of curves X to Y with Galois group G which is totally ramified at a point x and unramified elsewhere, restriction to the punctured formal neighborhood of x induces a Galois extension of Laurent series rings…

Consider a non-CM elliptic curve $E$ defined over $\mathbb{Q}$. For each prime $\ell$, there is a representation $\rho_{E,\ell}: G \to GL_2(\mathbb{F}_\ell)$ that describes the Galois action on the $\ell$-torsion points of $E$, where $G$ is…

We extend the strong multiplicity one theorem of Jacquet, Piatetski-Shapiro and Shalika. Let $\pi$ be a unitary, cuspidal, automorphic representation of $GL_n(\A_K)$. Let $S$ be a set of finite places of $K$, such that the sum $\sum_{v\in…
