Let $p$ be a prime number and $F$ a totally real number field. For each prime $\mathfrak{p}$ of $F$ above $p$ we construct a Hecke operator $T_\mathfrak{p}$ acting on $(\mathrm{mod}\, p^m)$ Katz Hilbert modular classes which agrees with the…

Let f be a newform of weight at least 2 and squarefree level with Fourier coefficients in a number field K. We give explicit bounds, depending on congruences of f with other newforms, on the set of primes lambda of K for which the…

We classify the upper ramification breaks of totally ramified nonabelian extensions of degree $p^3$ over a local field of characteristic $p>0$. We find that nonintegral upper ramification breaks can occur for each nonabelian Galois group of…

Let $K$ be a field, $L$ a finite Galois extension of $K$, and $X$ an abelian variety defined over $L$. If $X$ is isogenous over $L$ to an abelian variety defined over $K$, then the $\ell$-adic Galois representations associated to $X$ extend…

Let $L/K$ be a finite Galois, totally ramified $p$-extension of complete local fields with perfect residue fields of characteristic $p>0$. In this paper, we give conditions, valid for any Galois $p$-group $G={Gal}(L/K)$ (abelian or not) and…

We study solutions to the Brauer embedding problem with restricted ramification. Suppose $G$ and $A$ are a abelian groups, $E$ is a central extension of $G$ by $A$, and $f:\text{Gal}(\overline{\mathbf{Q}}/\mathbf{Q})\rightarrow G$ a…

Let $K$ be a local field of characteristic 0 with residue characteristic $p$. Let $G$ be an extraspecial $p$-group and let $L/K$ be a totally ramified $G$-extension. In this paper we find sufficient conditions for $L/K$ to admit a Galois…
