The inverse Galois problem asks whether any finite group can be realised as the Galois group of a Galois extension of the rationals. This problem and its refinements have stimulated a large amount of research in number theory and algebraic…

We give a stably birational classification for algebraic tori of dimensions $3$ and $4$ over a field $k$. First, we define the weak stably equivalence of algebraic tori and show that there exist $13$ (resp. $128$) weak stably equivalent…

Suppose $k$ is a nonarchimedean local field, $K$ is a maximally unramified extension of $k$, and $\mathbf{G}$ is a connected reductive $k$-group. If $\mathbf{T}$ is a $K$-minisotropic maximal $k$-torus in $\mathbf{G}$, then we use…

We say that the order of an algebraic number $A$ is the minimum of positive integers $k$ such that $A^k$ is rational. In this paper, we show that the number of algebraic numbers $A$ with order $k$ such that \[ A,\ A^A,\ A^{A^A},\ \ldots \]…

Let p be a prime ideal in a commutative noetherian ring R. It is proved that if an R-module M satisfies Tor^R_n(k(p),M) = 0 for some n \geq dim R_p, where k(p) is the residue field at p, then Tor^R_i(k(p),M) = 0 holds for all i \geq n.…

In this article, we study rational matrix representations of VZ $p$-groups ($p$ is any prime). Utilizing our findings on VZ $p$-groups, we explicitly obtain all inequivalent irreducible rational matrix representations of all $p$-groups of…

We show that a ring $R$ is regular if $Tor_{i}^{R}(R^{+},k) = 0$ for some $i\geq 1$ assuming further that $R$ is a $\mathbb{N}$-graded ring of dimension $2$ finitely generated over an equi-characteristic zero field $k$. This answers a…
