We make explicit certain results around the Galois correspondence in the context of definable automorphism groups, and point out the relation to some recent papers dealing with the Galois theory of algebraic differential equations when the…

Let $p$ be a prime number and let $F$ be a field of characteristic different from $p$. We prove that there exist a field extension $L/F$ and $a,b,c,d$ in $L^{\times}$ such that $(a,b)=(b,c)=(c,d)=0$ in $\mathrm{Br}(F)[p]$ but $\langle…

Let k be an algebraically closed field of odd characteristic. We describe derivations of a large class of quantizations of affine normal Poisson varieties over k.

For primes $p$ and $\ell$ such that $\ell$ divides $p-1$, Hirano and Morishita constructed a nonabelian Galois extension of the function field $\mathbb{F}_p(t)$ whose degree is $\ell^3$ and Galois group is of Heisenberg type. Here we…

We associate to every central simple algebra with involution of orthogonal type in characteristic two a totally singular quadratic form which reflects certain anisotropy properties of the involution. It is shown that this quadratic form can…

Let F denote an unramified extension of the cyclotomic extension of Q_p by (p^n)th roots of unity, for an odd prime p. We determine the conductors of those Kummer extensions of F of degree dividing p^n which are Galois over the maximal…

We establish several compatibility results between residue maps in \'etale and Galois cohomology that arise naturally in the analysis of smooth affine algebraic curves having good reduction over discretely valued fields. These results are…

Formal orbifolds are defined in higher dimension. Their \'etale fundamental groups are also defined. It is shown that the fundamental groups of formal orbifolds have certain finiteness property and it is also shown that they can be used to…

This paper deals with criteria of algebraic independence for the derivatives of solutions of rank one difference equations. The key idea consists in deriving from the commutativity of the differentiation and difference operators a sequence…

We study the possible weights of an irreducible two-dimensional mod p representation of the absolute Galois group of F which is modular in the sense of that it comes from an automorphic form on a definite quaternion algebra with centre F…

This article is devoted to studying the ramification of Galois torsors and of $\ell$-adic sheaves in characteristic $p>0$ (with $\ell\not=p$). Let $k$ be a perfect field of characteristic $p>0$, $X$ be a smooth, separated and quasi-compact…

Given a finite group $\Gamma$, we prove results on the distribution of the prime-to-$q|\Gamma|$ part of fundamental groups of $\Gamma$-covers of the projective line $\mathbb P^1_{\mathbb F_q}$ over a finite field $\mathbb F_q$ as…

We prove three theorems concerning the Hopf-Galois module structure of fractional ideals in a finite tamely ramified extension of $ p $-adic fields or number fields which is $ H $-Galois for a commutative Hopf algebra $ H $. Firstly, we…

Given a Galois cover of curves over $\mathbb{F}_p$, we relate the $p$-adic valuation of epsilon constants appearing in functional equations of Artin L-functions to an equivariant Euler characteristic. Our main theorem generalises a result…

We classify the finite groups whose non-linear irreducible characters that are not conjugate under the natural Galois action have distinct degrees, therefore extending the results in Berkovich et al. [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. {\bf 115}…

Proofs that an arbitrary field has a separable closure are necessarily non-constructive, and separable closures are unique only up to non-canonical isomorphism. This means that the absolute Galois group of a field is defined only up to…

We classify the finite groups $G$ which satisfies the condition that every complex irreducible character,whose degree's square doesn't divide the index of its kernel in $G$, lies in the same Galois conjugacy class.

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…

In this note we prove the non existence of certain irreducible two dimensional representations of the the absolute Galois group. Such results are predicted by Serre's conjecture and we use Fontaine's methods to verify these predictions in a…

We construct infinitely ramified Galois representations $\rho$ such that the $a_l (\rho)$'s have distributions in contrast to the statements of Sato-Tate, Lang-Trotter and others. Using similar methods we deform a residual Galois…
