Let $G$ be a finite nilpotent group and $K$ a number field with torsion relatively prime to the order of $G$. By a sequence of central group extensions with cyclic kernel we obtain an upper bound for the minimum number of prime ideals of…

For an integer $m\geq 2$, we aim to investigate the realizability of types of metacyclic-nonmodular groups, whose abelianization is $\mathbb{Z}/2 \mathbb{Z}\times\mathbb{Z}/2^m \mathbb{Z}$, as the Galois group of the maximal unramified…

Ramsey theory is a central and active branch of combinatorics. Although Ramsey numbers for graphs have been extensively investigated since Ramsey's work in the 1930s, there is still an exponential gap between the best known lower and upper…

In this article, we construct infinite families $(G_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ of finite simple groups $G_n$ of Lie type, such that the rank of $G_n$ strictly increases as $n$ tends to infinity, and such that each $G_n$ is a quotient of the…

Let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field different from $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-1})$ and $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-3})$. For a positive integer $N$, let $K_\mathfrak{n}$ be the ray class field of $K$ modulo $\mathfrak{n}=N\mathcal{O}_K$. By using the…

Let $K$ be a number field and $S$ a set of primes of $K$. We write $K_S/K$ for the maximal extension of $K$ unramified outside $S$ and $G_{K,S}$ for its Galois group. In this paper, we prove the following generalization of the…

In this article we sketch the development of the principal genus theorem from its conception by Gauss in the case of binary quadratic forms to the cohomological formulation of the principal genus theorem of class field theory by Emmy…

Let $\Gamma_n(\mathcal{\scriptstyle{O}}_\mathbb{K})$ denote the Hermitian modular group of degree $n$ over an imaginary-quadratic number field $\mathbb{K}$. In this paper we determine its maximal discrete extension in $SU(n,n;\mathbb{C})$,…

Malle proposed a conjecture for counting the number of $G$-extensions $L/K$ with discriminant bounded above by $X$, denoted $N(K,G;X)$, where $G$ is a fixed transitive subgroup $G\subset S_n$ and $X$ tends towards infinity. We introduce a…

Given a number field $k$, we show that, for many finite groups $G$, all the Galois extensions of $k$ with Galois group $G$ cannot be obtained by specializing any given finitely many Galois extensions $E/k(T)$ with Galois group $G$ and $E/k$…

Let $n$ be a positive integer and $G$ be a transitive permutation subgroup of $S_n$. Given a number field $K$ with $[K:\mathbb{Q}]=n$, we let $\widetilde{K}$ be its Galois closure over $\mathbb{Q}$ and refer to…

We investigate unramified extensions of number fields with prescribed solvable Galois group and certain extra conditions. In particular, we are interested in the minimal degree of a number field $K$, Galois over $\mathbb{Q}$, such that $K$…

Let $L/K$ be a finite Galois extension of local fields. The Hasse-Arf theorem says that if Gal$(L/K)$ is abelian then the upper ramification breaks of $L/K$ must be integers. We prove the following converse to the Hasse-Arf theorem: Let $G$…

We prove upper bounds for the average size of the $\ell$-torsion $\text{Cl}_K[\ell]$ of the class group of $K$, as $K$ runs through certain natural families of number fields and $\ell$ is a positive integer. We refine a key argument, used…

In this article we trace the genesis of a theorem that gives for the first time examples of Galois group $G_S$ of the maximal $p$-extension of $\mathbb{Q}$, unramified outside a finite set of primes not containing $p$, that are of…

We contribute to the Malle conjecture on the number N (K, G, y) of finite Galois extensions E of some number field K of finite group G and of discriminant of norm |N K/Q (d E)| $\le$ y. We prove the lower bound part of the conjecture for…
