In this paper we consider birational properties of ramification in excellent local rings. We extend earlier results of the author with Olivier Piltant to show that strong local monomialization is true along a valuation dominating a…

We study the subfields of quaternion algebras that are quadratic extensions of their center in characteristic 2. We provide examples of the following: two non-isomorphic quaternion algebras that share all their quadratic subfields, two…

We study the groups in the unit filtration of a finite abelian extension K of the field of p-adic numbers. We determine explicit generators of these groups as modules over the pro-p group ring of the Galois group of K over the p-adic…

Let V be a p-adic representation of the absolute Galois group G of Q_p that becomes crystalline over a finite tame extension, and assume p odd. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for V to be isomorphic to the Tate module V_p(A)…

Let k be a field of characteristic 2 and let L/k be a finite Galois extension with Galois group G. We show the equivalence of the following two properties: (*) The group G is generated by elements of order 2 and by elements of odd order.…

This paper surveys the methods that have been used to attack the conjecture, still open, that an abelian variety over a characteristic $0$ field with finitely generated Galois group is always of infinite rank.

This paper is a summary of author's results on finite flat commutative group schemes. The properties of the generic fibre functor are discussed. A complete classification of finite local flat commutative group schemes over mixed…

Given a number field $k$, we show that, for many finite groups $G$, all the Galois extensions of $k$ with Galois group $G$ cannot be obtained by specializing any given finitely many Galois extensions $E/k(T)$ with Galois group $G$ and $E/k$…

We develop an extension of valuations theorem for suitable extensions of idempotent semirings. As an application, we give a new proof for the classical case of fields. Along the way, we develop characteristic one analogues of some central…

We prove that the vanishing of the module of universal norms associated with a de Rham Galois representation whose Hodge-Tate weights are not all non-positive characterises the algebraic extensions of the field of $p$-adic numbers whose…

Let F be a differential field of characteristic zero. In this article, we construct Picard-Vessiot extensions of F whose differential Galois group is isomorphic to the full unipotent subgroup of the upper triangular group defined over the…

We revisit Kolchin's results on definability of differential Galois groups of strongly normal extensions, in the case where the field of constants is not necessarily algebraically closed. In certain classes of differential topological…

Let $L$ be a complete discrete valuation field of prime characteristic $p$ with finite residue field. Denote by $\Gamma _{L}^{(v)}$ the ramification subgroups of $\Gamma _{L}=\operatorname{Gal}(L^{sep}/L)$. We consider the category…

The theory of p-ramification, regarding the Galois group of the maximal pro-p-extension of a number field K, unramified outside p and $\infty$, is well known including numerical experiments with PARI/GP programs. The case of ``incomplete…

We study $p$-group Galois covers $X \rightarrow \mathbb{P}^1$ with only one fully ramified point. These covers are important because of the Katz-Gabber compactification of Galois actions on complete local rings. The sequence of ramification…

The goal of this paper is to remove the irreducibility hypothesis in a theorem of Richard Taylor describing the image of complex conjugations by $p$-adic Galois representations associated with regular, algebraic, essentially self-dual,…

Given a field $k$ of characteristic zero and an indeterminate $T$ over $k$, we investigate the local behaviour at primes of $k$ of finite Galois extensions of $k$ arising as specializations of finite Galois extensions $E/k(T)$ (with $E/k$…

We classify all cubic extensions of any field of arbitrary characteristic, up to isomorphism, via an explicit construction involving three fundamental types of cubic forms. We deduce a classification of any Galois cubic extension of a…

We describe relations between maximal subfields in a division ring and in its rational extensions. More precisely, we prove that properties such as being Galois or purely inseparable over the centre generically carry over from one to…

In this article we discuss a version of the Chebotarev density for function fields over perfect fields with procyclic absolute Galois groups. Our version of this density theorem differs from other versions in two aspects: we include…
