Let $E/F$ be a CM extension of number fields, and let $H < G$ be a unitary Gan--Gross--Prasad pair defined with respect to $E/F$ that is compact at infinity. We consider a family $\mathcal{F}$ of automorphic representations of $G \times H$…

We study the $\ell$-torsion subgroup in Jacobians of curves of the form $y^{\ell} = f(x)$ for irreducible $f(x)$ over a finite field $\mathbf{F}_{q}$ of characteristic $p \neq \ell$. This is a function field analogue of the study of…

We prove quantitative upper bounds for the number of quadratic twists of a given elliptic curve $E/\Fp_q(C)$ over a function field over a finite field that have rank $\geq 2$, and for their average rank. The main tools are constructions and…

For all positive integers $\ell$, we prove non-trivial bounds for the $\ell$-torsion in the class group of $K$, which hold for almost all number fields $K$ in certain families of cyclic extensions of arbitrarily large degree. In particular,…

By comparing the Postnikov towers of the classifying spaces of projective unitary groups and the differentials in a twisted Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence, we deduce a lower bound on the topological index in terms of the period, and…

Given two polynomials $P,q$ we consider the following question: "how large can the index of the first non-zero moment $\tilde{m}_k=\int_a^b P^k q$ be, assuming the sequence is not identically zero?". The answer $K$ to this question is known…

Let $F$ be a field of characteristic $2$ and let $E/F$ be a field extension of degree $4$. We determine the kernel $W_q(E/F)$ of the restriction map $W_qF\to W_qE$ between the Witt groups of nondegenerate quadratic forms over $F$ and over…

Let $L$ be a number field and let $E/L$ be an elliptic curve with complex multiplication by the ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_K$ of an imaginary quadratic field $K$. We use class field theory and results of Skorobogatov and Zarhin to…

This paper explores quadratic forms over finite fields with associated Artin-Schreier curves. Specifically, we investigate quadratic forms of $\mathbb F_{q^n}/\mathbb F_q$ represented by polynomials over $\mathbb F_{q^n}$ with $q$ odd,…

We consider a general class of Fourier coefficients for an automorphic form on a finite cover of a reductive adelic group ${\bf G}(\mathbb{A}_{\mathbb{K}})$, associated to the data of a `Whittaker pair'. We describe a quasi-order on Fourier…

In $1801$, Gauss found an explicit description, in the language of binary quadratic forms, for the $2$-torsion of the narrow class group and dual narrow class group of a quadratic number field. This is now known as Gauss's genus theory. In…

Let $F$ be a field of characteristic $2$ and let $K/F$ be a purely inseparable extension of exponent $1$. We show that the extension is excellent for quadratic forms. Using the excellence we recover and extend results by Aravire and…

Let $K$ be a multiquadratic extension of $\mathbb{Q}$ and let $\text{Cl}^{+}(K)$ be its narrow class group. Recently, the authors \cite{KP} gave a bound for $|\text{Cl}^{+}(K)[2]|$ only in terms of the degree of $K$ and the number of…

Let $E$ be a field, $p$ a prime number and $F/E$ a finitely-generated extension of transcendency degree $t$. This paper shows that if the absolute Galois group $\mathcal{G}_{E}$ is of nonzero cohomological $p$-dimension cd$_{p}(E)$, then…

We introduce a notion of inertial equivalence for integral $\ell$-adic representation of the Galois group of a global field. We show that the collection of continuous, semisimple, pure $\ell$-adic representations of the absolute Galois…

We introduce a new link invariant called the algebraic genus, which gives an upper bound for the topological slice genus of links. In fact, the algebraic genus is an upper bound for another version of the slice genus proposed here: the…

Elementary abelian groups are finite groups in the form of $A=(\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z})^r$ for a prime number $p$. For every integer $\ell>1$ and $r>1$, we prove a non-trivial upper bound on the $\ell$-torsion in class groups of every…

Let G be a semisimple algebraic group over a field k. We introduce the higher Tits indices of G as the set of all Tits indices of G over all field extensions K/k. In the context of quadratic forms this notion coincides with the notion of…
