In this note we remark that Chevalley's ambiguous class number formula is an immediate consequence of the Hasse norm theorem, the local and global norm index theorems for cyclic extensions.
This version is a significant improvement of the original paper. It includes a new section where we discuss norm tori in some detail. The new abstract is the following: In this paper we obtain Chevalley's ambiguous class number formula for…
Let F/k be a finite abelian extension of global function fields, totally split at a distinguished place \infty. We prove that a complex Gras conjecture holds for a suitable group of Stark units, and we derive a refined analytic class number…
This is a survey focusing on the Hasse principle for divisibility of points in commutative algebraic groups and its relation with the Hasse principle for divisibility of elements of the Tate-Shavarevich group in the Weil-Ch\^{a}telet group.…
We prove, under some mild hypothesis, that an \'etale cover of curves defined over a number field has infinitely many specializations into an everywhere unramified extension of number fields. This constitutes an "absolute" version of the…
Let $L$ be a finite extension of $\mathbb{F}_q(t)$. We calculate the proportion of polynomials of degree $d$ in $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$ that are everywhere locally norms from $L/\mathbb{F}_q(t)$ which fail to be global norms from…
A finite extension of global fields $L/K$ satisfies the Hasse norm principle if any nonzero element of $K$ has the property that it is a norm locally if and only if it is a norm globally. In 1931, Hasse proved that any cyclic extension…
In this paper we prove Hasse local-global principle for polynomials with coefficients in Mordell-Weil type groups over number fields like S-units, abelian varieties with trivial ring of endomorphisms and odd algebraic K-theory groups.
We use recent results about linking the number of zeros on algebraic varieties over $\mathbb{C}$, defined by polynomials with integer coefficients, and on their reductions modulo sufficiently large primes to study congruences with products…
In this article, we introduce the notion of global adelic space of an arithmetic variety over an adelic curve and prove an equidistribution theorem for a generic sequence of subvarieties. As an application, we prove a Bogomolov type theorem…
We establish the Hasse principle (local-global principle) in the context of the Baum-Connes conjecture with coefficients. We illustrate this principle with the discrete group $GL(2,F)$ where $F$ is any global field.
Let $k$ be a real abelian number field and $p$ an odd prime not dividing $[k:\mathbb{Q}]$. For a natural number $d$, let $E_d$ denote the group of units of $k$ congruent to $1$ modulo $d$, $C_d$ the subgroup of $d$-circular units of $E_d$,…
We formulate and prove relative versions of several classical decompositions known in the theory of Chevalley groups over commutative rings. As an application we obtain upper estimates for the width of principal congruence subgroups in…
In this paper we prove global class field theory using a purely geometric result. We first write in detail Deligne's proof to the unramified case of class field theory, including defining the required objects for the proof. Then we…
This paper establishes a relationship between finite extensions and norm groups of formally real quasilocal fields, which yields a generally nonabelian local class field theory, including analogues to the fundamental correspondence, the…
We develop a notion of degree for functions between two abelian groups that allows us to generalize the Chevalley Warning Theorems from fields to noncommutative rings or abelian groups of prime power order.
We prove Suslin's local-global principle for principal congruence subgroups of Chevalley groups. Let $G$ be a Chevalley--Demazure group scheme with a root system $\Phi\ne A_1$ and $E$ its elementary subgroup. Let $R$ be a ring and $I$ an…
Following Hasse's example, various authors have been deriving divisibility properties of minus class numbers of cyclotomic fields by carefully examining the analytic class number formula. In this paper we will show how to generalize these…
By a theorem of Chevalley the image of a morphism of varieties is a constructible set. The algebraic version of this fact is usually stated as a result on "extension of specializations" or "lifting of prime ideals". We present a difference…
Let k be a global field of characteristic not 2. We prove a local-global principle for the existence of self-dual normal bases, and more generally for the isomorphism of G-trace forms, of G-Galois algebras over k.
