Let $G$ be one of the classical groups of Lie rank $l$. We make a similar construction of a general extension field in differential Galois theory for $G$ as E. Noether did in classical Galois theory for finite groups. More precisely, we…
The classical Galois theory deals with certain finite algebraic extensions and establishes a bijective order reversing correspondence between the intermediate fields and the subgroups of a group of permutations called the Galois group of…
We describe a method for counting the number of extensions of $\mathbb{Q}_p$ with a given Galois group $G$, founded upon the description of the absolute Galois group of $\mathbb{Q}_p$ due to Jannsen and Wingberg. Because this description is…
Given an abelian algebraic group $A$ over a global field $F$, $\alpha \in A(F)$, and a prime $\ell$, the set of all preimages of $\alpha$ under some iterate of $[\ell]$ generates an extension of $F$ that contains all $\ell$-power torsion…
These are the notes for an undergraduate course at the University of Edinburgh, 2021-2023. Assuming basic knowledge of ring theory, group theory and linear algebra, the notes lay out the theory of field extensions and their Galois groups,…
In this paper we consider the problem of Galois descent for suitably completed algebraic K-theory of fields. One of the main results is a suitable form of rigidity for Borel-style generalized equivariant cohomology with respect to certain…
This paper concerns the description of holomorphic extensions of algebraic number fields. We define a hyperbolized adele class group for every number field K Galois over Q and consider the Hardy space H[K] of graded-holomorphic functions on…
One of the key points in Galois theory via field extensions is to build up a correspondence between subfields of a field and subgroups of its automorphism group, so as to study fields via methods of groups. As an analogue of the Galois…
We compare several definitions of the Galois group of a linear difference equation that have arisen in algebra, analysis and model theory and show, that these groups are isomorphic over suitable fields. In addition, we study properties of…
Let $K/\mathbb{Q}$ be a finitely generated field of characteristic zero and $X/K$ a smooth projective variety. Fix $q\in\mathbb{N}$. For every prime number $\ell$ let $\rho_\ell$ be the representation of $\mathrm{Gal}(K)$ on the \'etale…
Let $G$ be a Frobenius group with an abelian Frobenius kernel $F$ and let $k$ be a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}$. We obtain an upper bound for the number of degree $|F|$ algebraic extensions $K/k$ with Galois group $G$ with the norm of…
In this paper the transcendental Galois extensions of a field will be introduced as counterparts to algebraic Galois ones. There exist several types of transcendental Galois extensions of a given field, from the weakest one to the strongest…
We establish that any finite extension of function fields of genus greater than 1 whose relative class group is trivial is Galois and cyclic. This depends on a result from a preceding paper which establishes a finite list of possible Weil…
Let $K$ be a number field with ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_K$ and $G$ a finite group of odd order. If $K_h$ is a weakly ramified $G$-Galois $K$-algebra, then its square root $A_h$ of the inverse different is a locally free…
Given a $p$-adic field $K$ and a prime number $\ell$, we count the total number of the isomorphism classes of $p^\ell$-extensions of $K$ having no intermediate fields. Moreover for each group that can appear as Galois group of the normal…
We enhance the analogy between field extensions and covering spaces by introducing the concept of splitting covering which correspondences to the splitting field in Galois theory. We define semi-topological Galois groups for Weierstrass…
In this paper, we consider infinite Galois extensions of number fields and study the relation between their local degrees and the structure of their Galois groups. It is known that, if $K$ is a number field and $L/K$ is an infinite Galois…
In our previous paper we describe the Galois module structures of $p$th-power class groups $K^\times/{K^{\times p}}$, where $K/F$ is a cyclic extension of degree $p$ over a field $F$ containing a primitive $p$th root of unity. Our…
We develop a Galois theory of commutative rings under actions of finite inverse semigroups. We present equivalences for the definition of Galois extension as well as a Galois correspondence theorem. We also show how the theory behaves in…
Let $k\subseteq K$ be a finite Galois extension of fields with Galois group $G$. Let $\mathscr{G}$ be the automorphism $k$-group scheme of $K$. We construct a canonical $k$-subgroup scheme $\underline{G}\subset\mathscr{G}$ with the property…
