Given two monic polynomials f and g with coefficients in a number field K, and some a in K, we examine the action of the absolute Galois group of K on the directed graph of iterated preimages of a under the correspondence g(y)=f(x),…

The l-adic parabolic cohomology groups attached to noncongruence subgroups of SL_2(Z) are finite-dimensional representations of Gal(Qbar/F) for some number field F. We exhibit examples (with F=Q) giving rise to Galois representations whose…

Let $F$ be a finite field of $char F > 3$ and $sl_{2}(F)$ be the Lie algebra of traceless $2\times 2$ matrices over $F$. In this paper, we find a basis for the $\mathbb{Z}_{2}$-graded identities of $sl_{2}(F)$.

The group-scheme of automorphisms of the ten-dimensional exceptional Kac's Jordan superalgebra is shown to be isomorphic to the semidirect product of the direct product of two copies of SL2 by the constant group scheme C2. This is used to…

Let $K$ be a field with $G_K(2) \simeq G_{\mathbb{Q}}(2)$, where $G_F(2)$ denotes the maximal pro-2 quotient of the absolute Galois group of a field $F$. We prove that then $K$ admits a (non-trivial) valuation $v$ which is 2-henselian and…

In this paper, we construct, for some $2$-groups $G$, explicit Galois extensions $E/\mathbb{Q}(T)$ of group $G$ with $E\cap\overline{\mathbb{Q}}=\mathbb{Q}$. We also provide explicit arithmetic progressions of integers $t_0$ such that the…

Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$. In this paper we classify the $\text{PGL}_3(K)$-conjugacy classes of semi-stable dominant degree $2$ rational maps $f:{\mathbb P}^2_K\dashrightarrow{\mathbb P}^2_K$ whose…

The Jordan algebra of the symmetric matrices of order two over a field $K$ has two natural gradings by $\mathbb{Z}_2$, the cyclic group of order 2. We describe the graded polynomial identities for these two gradings when the base field is…

We consider polynomial maps of affine space over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. We prove that every irreducible component of the zero locus of the Jacobian determinant corresponds to either a contracted divisor or a…

Let $f(x) \in K(x)$ be a quadratic polynomial where $K$ is a field of characteristic not equal to $2$. The associated arboreal Galois representation of the absolute Galois group of $K$ acts on a regular rooted binary tree. Boston and Jones…

We introduce dessins d'enfants from the various existing points of view: As topological covering spaces, as surfaces with triangulations, and as algebraic curves with functions ramified over three points. We prove Belyi's theorem that such…

We study certain Z_2-graded, finite-dimensional polynomial algebras of degree 2 which are a special class of deformations of Lie superalgebras, which we call quadratic Lie superalgebras. Starting from the formal definition, we discuss the…

Let $K$ be a field, and let $f\in K(z)$ be a rational function of degree $d\geq 2$. The Galois group of the field extension generated by the preimages of $x_0\in K$ under all iterates of $f$ naturally embeds in the automorphism group of an…

We study the Galois group $G_f$ of a random polynomial $f$ of height at most $H$ in the family of polynomials of degree $2n$ satisfying the twisted reciprocal relation $f(x) = x^{2n}/b^n \cdot f(b/x)$, which arise in a wide variety of…

We study normal extensions with Galois group Hol($C_8$) that are unramified over a complex quadratic subfield. The Galois group is either the semi-dihedral group or the modular group of order $16$. We present an explicit construction of…

In this work, we determine all Lattes maps which are Belyi morphisms. It turns out that in the generic case, i.e. when the automorphism group is $\ZZ/2\ZZ$, the corresponding family of Lattes maps are Belyi morphisms if and only if the…

Let $X$ be a surface with geometric genus and irregularity zero which is defined over a number field $K$. Let $\mathscr{X}$ denote a smooth spread of $X$ over the spectrum of a Zariski open subset in the spectrum of the ring of integers and…

In the present paper, we show a new result on the geometrically $2$-step solvable Grothendieck conjecture for genus $0$ curves over finitely generated fields. More precisely, we show that two genus $0$ hyperbolic curves over a finitely…

We develop a computational framework for classifying Galois groups of irreducible degree-7 polynomials over~$\mathbb{Q}$, combining explicit resolvent methods with machine learning techniques. A database of over one million normalized…
