This paper justifies an assertion in (Elder, Proc AMS 137 (2009), no 4, 1193--1203) that Galois scaffolds make the questions of Galois module structure tractable. Let $k$ be a perfect field of characteristic $p$ and let $K=k((T))$. For the…

We say that a group is {\em almost abelian} if every commutator is central and squares to the identity. Now let $G$ be the Galois group of the algebraic closure of the field $\QQ$ of rational numbers in the field of complex numbers. Let…

For fields F of characteristic not p containing a primitive $p$th root of unity, we determine the Galois module structure of the group of $p$th-power classes of K for all cyclic extensions K/F of degree p.

This paper provides a realization of all classical and most exceptional finite groups of Lie type as Galois groups over function fields over F_q and derives explicit additive polynomials for the extensions. Our unified approach is based on…

Let $q$ be a prime power and, for each positive integer $n\ge 1$, let $\mathbb F_{q^n}$ be the finite field with $q^n$ elements. Motivated by the well known concept of normal elements over finite fields, Huczynska et al (2013) introduced…

Using the properties of the ideal of the coordinate Hermite interpolation on n-dimensional grid [4], we prove that the extension k in k[x1, x2, ..., xn] / (f1(x1), ..., fn(xn)) has a primitive element if and only if at most one of the…

A commuting family of subnormal operators need not have a commuting normal extension. We study when a representation of an abelian semigroup can be extended to a normal representation, and show that it suffices to extend the set of…

For various nonsolvable groups $G$, we prove the existence of extensions of the rationals $\mathbb{Q}$ with Galois group $G$ and inertia groups of order dividing $ge(G)$, where $ge(G)$ is the smallest exponent of a generating set for $G$.…

Let $G$ be a countable cancellative amenable semigroup and let $(F_n)$ be a (left) F{\o}lner sequence in $G$. We introduce the notion of an $(F_n)$-normal element of $\{0,1\}^G$. When $G$ = $(\mathbb N,+)$ and $F_n = \{1,2,...,n\}$, the…

Given ${\mathbb{F}_{p^t}}$, a field with $p^t$ elements, where $p$ is a prime power, $t$ is a positive integer. Let $f(x)$ be a polynomial over $\mathbb{F}_{p^t}$ of degree $m$ with some restrictions. In this paper, we construct a…

A cover of normal varieties is exceptional over a finite field if the map on points over infinitely many extensions of the field is one-one. A cover over a number field is exceptional if it is exceptional over infinitely many residue class…

Let $L_n$ be a simplest cubic field with Galois group $G=\rm{Gal} (L_n/\mathbb Q)$. The associated order is denoted as ${\cal A}_{L_n/\mathbb Q}:= \{ x\in {\mathbb Q} [G] \, |\, x \cdot \cal{O}_{L_n} \subset {\cal O}_{L_n } \}$, where…

Let $V$ be a vector space of dimension $d$ over $F_q$, a finite field of $q$ elements, and let $G \le GL(V) \cong GL_d(q)$ be a linear group. A base of $G$ is a set of vectors whose pointwise stabiliser in $G$ is trivial. We prove that if…

Let $q = p^s$ be a power of a prime number $p$ and let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field with $q$ elements. In this paper we obtain the explicit factorization of the cyclotomic polynomial $\Phi_{2^nr}$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$ where both $r…

This paper explores the existence and distribution of primitive elements in finite field extensions with prescribed traces in several intermediate field extensions. Our main result provides an inequality-like condition to ensure the…

A sufficient condition for the existence of HNN-extensions in the class of groups of odd exponent $n \gg 1$ is given in the following form. Let $Q$ be a group of odd exponent $n > 2^{48}$ and $\mathcal G$ be an HNN-extension of $Q$. If $A…

The power classes of a field are well-known for their ability to parameterize elementary $p$-abelian Galois extensions. These classical objects have recently been reexamined through the lens of their Galois module structure. Module…

Let $q$ be an odd prime and $k$ be a natural number. We show that a finite subset of integers $S$ that does not contain any perfect $q^{th}$ power, contains a $q^{th}$ power residue modulo almost every natural numbers $N$ with at most $k$…
