Let K/F be a cyclic field extension of odd prime degree. We consider Galois embedding problems involving Galois groups with common quotient Gal(K/F) such that corresponding normal subgroups are indecomposable Fp[Gal(K/F)]-modules. For these…

We prove new results on splitting Brauer classes by genus 1 curves, settling in particular the case of degree 7 classes over global fields. Though our method is cohomological in nature, and proceeds by considering the more difficult problem…

If $\mathfrak{g} \subseteq \mathfrak{h}$ is an extension of Lie algebras over a field $k$ such that ${\rm dim}_k (\mathfrak{g}) = n$ and ${\rm dim}_k (\mathfrak{h}) = n + m$, then the Galois group ${\rm Gal} \, (\mathfrak{h}/\mathfrak{g})$…

We show that if $K$ is an arbitrary field and $G$ is a finite group then there exists a curve over $K$ with automorphism group $G$. We also give a positive solution to the weak inverse Galois problem for function fields over an arbitrary…

For a homogeneous space X of a connected algebraic group G (with connected stabilizers) over a field k of characteristic zero, we construct a canonical complex of Galois modules of length 3 and a canonical isomorphism between an…

We present the (Lascar) Galois group of any countable theory as a quotient of a compact Polish group by an $F_\sigma$ normal subgroup: in general, as a topological group, and under NIP, also in terms of Borel cardinality. This allows us to…

For many finite groups, the Inverse Galois Problem can be approached through modular/automorphic Galois representations. This is a report explaining the basic strategy, ideas and methods behind some recent results. It focusses mostly on the…

Let $n$ be a positive integer and $G$ be a transitive permutation subgroup of $S_n$. Given a number field $K$ with $[K:\mathbb{Q}]=n$, we let $\widetilde{K}$ be its Galois closure over $\mathbb{Q}$ and refer to…

In this article, we study a certain Galois property of subextensions of $k(A_{\mathrm{tors}})$, the minimal field of definition of all torsion points of an abelian variety $A$ defined over a number field $k$. Concretely, we show that each…

This work is motivated by the search for an "explicit" proof of the Bloch-Kato conjecture in Galois cohomology, proved by Voevodsky. Our concern here is to lay the foundation for a theory that, we believe, will lead to such a proof- and to…

In this note, we explore the notion of hyperbolicity of topologically finitely generated profinite groups. Some applications to diophantine geometry are suggested and we try to reformulate certain problems in diophantine geometry in terms…

In positive characteristic, nearly all Picard-Vessiot extensions are inseparable over some intermediate iterative differential extensions. In the Galois correspondence, these intermediate fields correspond to nonreduced subgroup schemes of…

In this paper we obtain new quantitative forms of Hilbert's Irreducibility Theorem. In particular, we show that if $f(X, T_1, \ldots, T_s)$ is an irreducible polynomial with integer coefficients, having Galois group $G$ over the function…

The paper studies the probability for a Galois group of a random polynomial to be $A_n$. We focus on the so-called large box model, where we choose the coefficients of the polynomial independently and uniformly from $\{-L,\ldots, L\}$. The…

We present a method for calculating the Brauer group of a surface given by a diagonal equation in the projective space. For diagonal quartic surfaces with coefficients in Q we determine the Brauer groups over Q and Q(i).

In this paper we use the theory of $\epsilon$-constants associated to tame finite group actions on arithmetic surfaces to define a Brauer group invariant $\mu(\X,G,V)$ associated to certain symplectic motives of weight one. We then discuss…

The inverse problem of Galois Theory was developed in the early 1800 s as an approach to understand polynomials and their roots. The inverse Galois problem states whether any finite group can be realized as a Galois group over Q (field 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…

Given a connection on a meromorphic vector bundle over a compact Riemann surface with reductive Galois group, we associate to it a projective variety. Connections such that their associated projective variety are curves can be classified,…

We study the ramification groups of finite Galois extensions $L/K$ of a complete discrete valuation field $K$ of equal characteristic $p>0$ with perfect residue field and Galois group isomorphic to the group of unitriangular matrices…
