A finite \'etale map between irreducible, normal varieties is called tame, if it is tamely ramified with respect to all partial compactifications whose boundary is the support of a strict normal crossings divisor. We prove that if the…

For all simple and finite extension of a valued field, we prove that its defect is the product of the effective degrees of the complete set of key polynomials associated. As a consequence, we obtain a local uniformization theorem for…

We give an algorithm that constructs a minimal set of polynomials defining all extension of a $(\pi)$-adic field with given, inertia degree, ramification index, discriminant, ramification polygon, and residual polynomials of the segments of…

This article discusses ramification and the structure of relative K\"ahler differentials of extensions of valued fields. We begin by surveying the theory developed in recent work with Franz-Viktor Kuhlmann and Anna Rzepka constructing the…

We show how the ramification filtration on the maximal elementary abelian p-extension (p prime) on a local number field of residual characteristic p can be derived using only Kummer theory and a certain orthogonality relation for the Kummer…

We study the asymptotic distribution of wildly ramified extensions of function fields in characteristic $p > 2$, focusing on (certain) $p$-groups of nilpotency class at most $2$. Rather than the discriminant, we count extensions according…

We propose a remarkably simple and explicit conjectural formula for a bihamiltonian structure of the double ramification hierarchy corresponding to an arbitrary homogeneous cohomological field theory. Various checks are presented to support…

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 give a criterion whether given Eisenstein polynomials over a local field K define the same extension over K in terms of a certain non-Archimedean metric on the set of polynomials. The criterion and its proof depend on ramification…

An equivalence is established between the category of at most $a$-ramified finite separable extensions of a complete discrete valuation field $K$ and the category of at most $a$-ramified finite extensions of the "length-$a$ truncation"…

We prove that for any prime $p>2$, $q=p^\nu$ a power of $p$, $n\ge p$ and $G=S_n$ or $G=A_n$ (symmetric or alternating group) there exists a Galois extension $K/\mathbb F_q(T)$ ramified only over $\infty$ with $\mathrm{Gal}(K/\mathbb…

We determine the distribution of discriminants of wildly ramified elementary-abelian extensions of local and global function fields in characteristic $p$. For local and rational function fields, we also give precise formulae for the number…

We consider p-extensions of number fields such that the filtration of the Galois group by higher ramification groups is of prescribed finite length. We extend well-known properties of tame extensions to this more general setting; for…

In this note, we show that, under a certain condition, solvable extensions of number fields ramifed at only one prime are Ostrowski. As a corollary, we deduce a generalization of Hilbert Theorem 94 to cyclic extensions ramifed at one prime.

Let $K$ be a global field and $n > 1$ an integer. We show $n$ is composite if and only if there is an irreducible polynomial $f(x) \in K[x]$ of degree $n$ which is reducible $q$-adically for all the primes $q$ of $K$.

Let $p$ be a prime. Let $(R,\ideal{m})$ be a regular local ring of mixed characteristic $(0,p)$ and absolute index of ramification $e$. We provide general criteria of when each abelian scheme over $\Spec R\setminus\{\ideal{m}\}$ extends to…

Let p>2 be a rational prime, k be a perfect field of characteristic p and K be a finite totally ramified extension of the fractional field of the Witt ring of k. Let G and H be finite flat commutative group schemes killed by p over O_K and…

Consider tuples of separable algebras over a common local or global number field, related to each other by specified resolvent constructions. Under the assumption that all ramification is tame, simple group-theoretic calculations give best…

The theorem of factorisation forests shows the existence of nested factorisations -- a la Ramsey -- for finite words. This theorem has important applications in semigroup theory, and beyond. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the…

Let $k$ be a rational congruence function field and consider an arbitrary finite separable extension $K/k$. If for each prime in $k$ ramified in $K$ we have that at least one ramification index is not divided by the characteristic of $K$,…
