For a semifield extension $T /S$, an action of a finite group $G$ on $T$ is Galois if $(1)$ the $G$-invariant subsemifield of $T$ is $S$ and $(2)$ subgroups of $G$ whose invariant semifields coincide are equal. We show that for a finite…

For a number field K with absolute Galois group G_K, we consider the action of G_K on the infinite tree of preimages of a point in K under a degree-two rational function phi, with particular attention to the case when phi commutes with a…

The action of the absolute Galois group $\text{Gal}(K^{\text{ksep}}/K)$ of a global field $K$ on a tree $T(\phi, \alpha)$ of iterated preimages of $\alpha \in \mathbb{P}^1(K)$ under $\phi \in K(x)$ with $\text{deg}(\phi) \geq 2$ induces a…

Given a global field K and a rational function phi defined over K, one may take pre-images of 0 under successive iterates of phi, and thus obtain an infinite rooted tree T by assigning edges according to the action of phi. The absolute…

We study harmonic morphisms of graphs as a natural discrete analogue of holomorphic maps between Riemann surfaces. We formulate a graph-theoretic analogue of the classical Riemann-Hurwitz formula, study the functorial maps on Jacobians and…

We study Galois rational maps between smooth projective varieties with trivial canonical bundle, with a particular interest in the case where the codomain is Hyper-K\"ahler. We obtain results about the birational geometry and the Galois…

We introduce a new graph invariant of finite groups that provides a complete characterization of the splitting types of unramified prime ideals in normal number field extensions entirely in terms of the Galois group. In particular, each…

The mapping class group $\Gamma$ of the complement of a Cantor set in the plane arises naturally in dynamics. We show that the ray graph, which is the analog of the complex of curves for this surface of infinite type, has infinite diameter…

For a rational map $\phi$ from a metric graph $\varGamma$ to a tropical projective space $\boldsymbol{TP^n}$ defined by a ratio of rational functions $f_1, \ldots, f_{n + 1}$, an automorphism $\sigma$ of $\varGamma$ induces a permutation of…

For every nonconstant rational function $\phi\in\mathbb{Q}(x)$, the Galois groups of the dynatomic polynomials of $\phi$ encode various properties of $\phi$ that are of interest in the subject of arithmetic dynamics. We study here the…

Let $K$ be a field, and let $f\in K(z)$ be rational function. The preimages of a point $x_0\in P^1(K)$ under iterates of $f$ have a natural tree structure. As a result, the Galois group of the resulting field extension of $K$ naturally…

Let $\mathbb{P}^1$ and $(X,q)$ denote, respectively, the projective line and a fixed elliptic curve marked at its origin, both defined over an algebraically closed field $\mathbb{K}$ of arbitrary characteristic $\emph{\textbf{p}} \neq2$. We…

The Abels-Margulis-Soifer lemma states that if a semigroup $\Gamma$ acts strongly irreducibly by linear transformations on a finite-dimensional real vector space, then any element of $\Gamma$ can be multiplied by an element of some fixed…

We prove that the arboreal Galois representation attached to a large class of quadratic polynomials defined over a field of rational functions in characteristic zero has finite index in the full automorphism group of the associated preimage…

The automorphism group of the Galois covering induced by a pluri-canonical generic covering of a projective space is investigated. It is shown that by means of such coverings one obtains, in dimensions one and two, serieses of specific…

Let $\Gamma$ be either i) the absolute Galois group of a local field $F$, or ii) the topological fundamental group of a closed connected orientable surface of genus $g$. In case i), assume that $\mu_{p^2} \subset F$. We give an elementary…

Let $C$ be a complex algebraic curve uniformised by a Fuchsian group $\Gamma$. In the first part of this paper we identify the automorphism group of the solenoid associated with $\Gamma$ with the Belyaev completion of its commensurator…

Consider a number field $K$ and a rational function $f$ of degree greater than 1 over $K$. By taking preimages of $\alpha\in K$ under successive iterates of $f$, an infinite $d$-ary tree $T_\infty$ rooted at $\alpha$ can be constructed. An…

We study certain aspects of the algebraic K-theory of Hopf-Galois extensions. We show that the Cartan map from K-theory to G-theory of such an extension is a rational isomorphism, provided the ring of coinvariants is regular, the Hopf…
