Using the action of the Galois group of a normal extension of number fields, we generalize and symmetrize various fundamental statements in algebra and algebraic number theory concerning splitting types of prime ideals, factorization types…

It is a well-known fact that the first and last non-trivial coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of a linear operator are respectively its trace and its determinant. This work shows how to compute recursively all the coefficients…

A perfect isometry is an important relation between blocks of finite groups as many information about blocks are preserved by it. If we consider the group of all perfect isometries between a block to itself then this gives another…

The Prym map of type (g,n,r) associates to every cyclic covering of degree n of a curve of genus g, ramified at a reduced divisor of degree r, the corresponding Prym variety. We show that the corresponding map of moduli spaces is…

We study the conjecture claiming that, over a flexible field, isotropic Chow groups coincide with numerical Chow groups (with ${\Bbb{F}}_p$-coefficients). This conjecture is essential for understanding the structure of the isotropic motivic…

We classify, up to a natural equivalence relation, vector fields of the plane which belong to the kernel of a 1--form. This form can be closed, in which case the vector fields are integrable, or not, in which case the differential of the…

Let S be a symbol algebra. The trace form of S is computed and it is shown how this form can be used to determine whether S is a division algebra or not. In addition, the exterior powers of the trace form of S are computed.

One studies Cremona monomial maps by combinatorial means. Among the results is a simple integer matrix theoretic proof that the inverse of a Cremona monomial map is also defined by monomials of fixed degree, and moreover, the set of…

Let $Tr$ denote the trace $\mathbb{Z}$-module homomorphism defined on the ring $\mathcal{O}_{L} $ of the integers of a number field $L.$ We show that $Tr(\mathcal{O}_{L})\varsubsetneq \mathbb{Z}$ if and only if there is a prime factor $p$…

We obtain good estimates on the ranks of universal quadratic forms over Shanks' family of the simplest cubic fields and several other families of totally real number fields. As the main tool we characterize all the indecomposable integers…

Let $p \geq 5$ be a prime and for $a, b \in \mathbb{F}_{p}$, let $E_{a,b}$ denote the elliptic curve over $\mathbb{F}_{p}$ with equation $y^2=x^3+a\,x + b$. As usual define the trace of Frobenius $a_{p,\,a,\,b}$ by \begin{equation*}…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over a number field $K$. If for almost all primes of $K$, the reduction of $E$ modulo that prime has rational cyclic isogeny of fixed degree, we can ask if this forces $E$ to have a cyclic isogeny of that degree…

In 2024, M. K. Ram proved that the class number of an imaginary cyclic quartic number field is never equal to a prime $p\equiv 3\pmod 4$. Here we greatly generalize this result to the case of the non-quadratic imaginary cyclic number fields…

A formula for the partial trace of a full symmetrizer is obtained. The formula is used to provide an inductive proof of the well-known formula for the dimension of a full symmetry class of tensors.

Let E be an elliptic curve with complex multiplication by R, where R is an order of discriminant D<-4 of an imaginary quadratic field K . If a prime number p is decomposed completely in the ring class field associated with R, then E has…

In this note, we study the field generated by the traces of subgroups of SU(n,1). Under some hypotheses, the trace field of a group $\Gamma \subset$ SU(2,1) is equal to the field generated by the coefficients of the matrices in $\Gamma$. If…

For modular indecomposable representations of a cyclic group $G$ of prime order $p$ we propose a list of polynomial invariants of degree $\leq 3$ that, together with a simple invariant of degree $p$, separate generic orbits and generate the…

Let $p$ be an irregular prime. Let $K=\Q(\zeta)$ be the $p$-cyclotomic field. From Kummer and class field theory, there exist Galois extensions $S/\Q$ of degree $p(p-1)$ such that $S/K$ is a cyclic unramified extension of degree $[S:K]=p$.…

Following our joint work arXiv:1003.4578 with Robert Langlands, we make the first steps toward developing geometric methods for analyzing trace formulas in the case of the function field of a curve defined over a finite field. We also…

We give an algorithm for deciding whether a planar polynomial differential system has a first integral which factorizes as a product of defining polynomials of curves with only one place at infinity. In the affirmative case, our algorithm…
