We classify, up to equivalence, all finite-dimensional simple graded division algebras over the field of real numbers. The grading group is any finite abelian group.

We study the \Lambda-module structure of the Mordell-Weil, Selmer, and Tate-Shafarevich groups of an abelian variety over \mathbb{Z}_p-extensions.

In this paper, we construct certain infinite families of imaginary quadratic fields whose class number is divisible by a given positive integer.

This paper is concerned with the problem of determining the number of division algebras which share the same collection of finite splitting fields. As a corollary we are able to determine when two central division algebras may be…

We develop an elementary divisor theory for the unimodular and the modular group over quadratic field extensions and quaternion algebras. In particular, we investigate which sets of elementary divisors can occur. Under an additional…

This article is the first in a series devoted to computing the class groups of real quadratic fields. We present a new relation between the class number and the index of unit groups. This relation generalizes Hilbert class field theory for…

Let A be an abelian variety over a local field K of mixed characteristic and with algebraically closed residue field. We provide a geometric construction (via the relative Picard functor) of the Shafarevich duality between the group of…

A graded-division algebra is an algebra graded by a group such that all nonzero homogeneous elements are invertible. This includes division algebras equipped with an arbitrary group grading (including the trivial grading). We show that a…

The structure of the Tate-Shafarevich groups of a class of elliptic curves over global function fields is determined. These are known to be finite abelian groups from the monograph [1] and hence they are direct sums of finite cyclic groups…

Given an abelian variety J and an abelian subvariety A of J over a number field K, we study the visible elements of the Shafarevich-Tate group of A with respect to J over certain number field extension M of K. The notion of visible elements…

For an abelian number field of odd degree, we study the structure of its 2-Selmer group as a bilinear space and as a Galois module. We prove structural results and make predictions for the distribution of unit signature ranks and narrow…

A group is metabelian if its commutator subgroup is abelian. For finitely generated metabelian groups, classical commutative algebra, algebraic geometry and geometric group theory, especially the latter two subjects, can be brought to bear…

We discuss properties of complex algebraic orbifold groups, their characteristic varieties, and their abelian covers. In particular, we deal with the question of (quasi)-projectivity of orbifold groups. We also prove a structure theorem for…

We classify, up to isomorphism and up to equivalence, division gradings (by abelian groups) on finite-dimensional simple real algebras. Gradings on finite-dimensional simple algebras are determined by division gradings, so our results give…

In this paper we provide an algorithm to classify groups of points on abelian threefolds over finite fields. The classification is given in terms of the Weil polynomial of abelian varieties in a given $\mathbb{F}_q$-isogeny class. This work…

Each number field has an associated finite abelian group, the class group, that records certain properties of arithmetic within the ring of integers of the field. The class group is well-studied, yet also still mysterious. A central…

In this paper we provide criteria for the insolvability of the Diophantine equation $x^2+D=y^n$. This result is then used to determine the class number of the quadratic field $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-D})$. We also determine some criteria for the…

We determine which codimension two Hodge classes on $J\times J$, where $J$ is a general abelian surface, deform to Hodge classes on a family of abelian fourfolds of Weil type. If a Hodge class deforms, there is in general a unique such…

We study the arithmetic aspects of the finite group of extensions of abelian varieties defined over a number field. In particular, we establish relations with special values of L-functions and congruences between modular forms.
