We give a complete description of the normal subgroups of arboreal Galois groups of Belyi maps. The normal groups form a unique chief series. We also carefully compute the discriminate of the iterate of a polynomial minus an algebraic…

In this paper, we describe Galois covers of algebraic curves and their families by using local systems associated to push-forward of sheaves by the structure morphism. More precisely, if $f:C\to Y$, we consider the sheaves $f_*(\C)$. The…

We study the postcritically finite non-polynomial map $f(x)=\frac{1}{(x-1)^2}$ over a number field $k$ and prove various results about the geometric $G^{\text{geom}}(f)$ and arithmetic $G^{\text{arith}}(f)$ iterated monodromy groups of $f$.…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, $F$ be an algebraically closed extension of $k$ of transcendence degree one, and $G$ be the group of automorphisms over $k$ of the field $F$. The purpose of this note is to…

We produce a new family of polynomials f(x) over fields K of characteristic 2 which are exceptional, in the sense that f(x)-f(y) has no absolutely irreducible factors in K[x,y] besides the scalar multiples of x-y; when K is finite, this…

We prove automorphy lifting results for geometric representations $\rho:G_F \rightarrow GL_2(\mathcal{O})$, with $F$ a totally real field, and $\mathcal{O}$ the ring of integers of a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$ with $p$ an odd prime,…

We prove that if $f:X \rightarrow A$ is a morphism from a smooth projective variety $X$ to an abelian variety $A$ over a number field $K$, and $G$ is a subgroup of automorphisms of $X$ satisfying certain properties, and if a prime $p$…

Given an object over the algebraic closure Qbar of Q, there is often no reason for invariants of the corresponding holomorphic object to be preserved by the absolute Galois group Gal(Qbar/Q), and in general this is not true, although it is…

We prove automorphy lifting theorems for 2-dimensional Galois representations of absolute Galois groups of totally real fields when the residual representation is of "exceptional" type. This exceptional case is when we are in characteristic…

We prove a potentially automorphy theorem for suitable Galois representations $\Gamma_{F^+} \to \mathrm{GSpin}_{2n+1}(\overline{\mathbb{F}}_p)$ and $\Gamma_{F^+} \to \mathrm{GSpin}_{2n+1}(\overline{\mathbb{Q}}_p)$, where $\Gamma_{F^+}$ is…

Let $\phi$ be a quadratic, monic polynomial with coefficients in $\mathcal O_{F,D}[t]$, where $\mathcal O_{F,D}$ is a localization of a number ring $\mathcal O_F$. In this paper, we first prove that if $\phi$ is non-square and…

We carry out some of Galois's work in the setting of an arbitrary first-order theory T. We replace the ambient algebraically closed field by a large model M of T, replace fields by definably closed subsets of M, assume that T codes finite…

We give an explicit description of the arithmetic-geometric extension of iterated Galois groups of rational functions. This yields a complete solution to the extension problem when either the arithmetic or the geometric iterated Galois…

We prove a new automorphy lifting theorem for l-adic representations where we impose a new condition at l, which we call `potential diagonalizability'. This result allows for `change of weight' and seems to be substantially more flexible…

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…

Let $ k $ be a field, $ G $ a totally ordered abelian group and $ \mathbb K = k((G)) $ the maximal field of generalised power series, endowed with the canonical valuation $ v $. We study the group $ v \mathrm{-Aut} K $ of valuation…

Let $(X, \mathcal{F})$ be a foliated surface and $G$ a finite group of automorphisms of $X$ that preserves $\mathcal{F}$. We investigate invariant loci for $G$ and obtain upper bounds for its order that depends polynomially on the Chern…

We explore families of pairs of quadratic polynomials $f(x)=x^2+c\in \mathbb{Q}$ and $a\in \mathbb{Q}$ with $a$ being a strictly preperiodic point of $f$ to provide infinitely many new examples for which the associated arboreal Galois…

Choose a polynomial $f$ uniformly at random from the set of all monic polynomials of degree $n$ with integer coefficients in the box $[-L,L]^n$. The main result of the paper asserts that if $L=L(n)$ grows to infinity, then the Galois group…

We show that every polynomial in $\mathbb Z[x]$ defines an endomorphism of the $d$-ary rooted tree induced by its action on the ring $\mathbb Z_d$ of $d$-adic integers. The sections of this endomorphism also turn out to be induced by…
