We prove that certain fields have the property that their absolute Galois groups are free as profinite groups: the function field of a real curve with no real points; the maximal abelian extension of a 2-variable Laurent series field over a…

It was established before that fusion rings in a rational conformal field theory (RCFT) can be described as rings of polynomials, with integer coefficients, modulo some relations. We use the Galois group of these relations to obtain a local…

We investigate the ability of a free pro-$\CC$ group of infinite rank to abstractly solve abstract embedding problems, and conclude that for some varieties $\CC$, the profinite completion of any order, of a free pro-$\CC$ group of infinite…

We describe a Picard-Vessiot theory for differential fields with non algebraically closed fields of constants. As a technique for constructing and classifying Picard-Vessiot extensions, we develop a Galois descent theory. We utilize this…

Let $f(x)=x^8+ax^4+b \in \mathbb{Q}[x]$ be an irreducible polynomial where $b$ is a square. We give a method that completely describes the factorization patterns of a linear resolvent of $f(x)$ using simple arithmetic conditions on $a$ and…

A finite group G is called admissible over a given field if there exists a central division algebra that contains a G-Galois field extension as a maximal subfield. We give a definition of embedding problems of division algebras that extends…

We prove that the arboreal Galois representation attached to a large class of quadratic polynomials defined over a field of rational functions in characteristic zero has finite index in the full automorphism group of the associated preimage…

Let Z{t} be the ring of arithmetic power series that converge on the complex open unit disc. A classical result of Harbater asserts that every finite group occurs as a Galois group over the quotient field of Z{t}. We strengthen this by…

We compute new polynomials with Galois group $M_{11}$ over $\mathbb{Q}(t)$. These polynomials stem from various families of covers of $\mathbb{P}^1\mathbb{C}$ ramified over at least 4 points. Each of these families has features that make a…

The main motivation of our work is to create an efficient algorithm that decides hypertranscendence of solutions of linear differential equations, via the parameterized differential and Galois theories. To achieve this, we expand the…

We study the interplay between the differential Galois group and the Lie algebra of infinitesimal symmetries of systems of linear differential equations. We show that some symmetries can be seen as solutions of a hierarchy of linear…

Field Arithmetic studies the interplay between arithmetical properties of fields and their absolute Galois groups. Here we studies fields satisfying local global principles for rational points of varieties and profinite groups satisfying…

For a differential operator $L$ of order $n$ over $C(z)$ with a finite (differential) Galois group $G\subset {\rm GL}(C^n)$, there is an algorithm, by M. van Hoeij and J.-A.~Weil, which computes the associated evaluation of the invariants…

Let G=Aut_K (K(x)) be the Galois group of the transcendental degree one pure field extension K(x)/K. In this paper we describe polynomial time algorithms for computing the field Fix(H) fixed by a subgroup H < G and for computing the fixing…

We study the minimal number of ramified primes in Galois extensions of rational function fields over finite fields with prescribed finite Galois group. In particular, we obtain a general conjecture in analogy with the well studied case of…

Let $F$ be a characteristic zero differential field with algebraically closed constant field, and consider the compositum $F_u$ of all Picard--Vessiot extensions of $F$ with unipotent differential Galois group. We prove that the group of…

We study the relation between the Galois group $G$ of a linear difference-differential system and two classes $\mathcal{C}_1$ and $\mathcal{C}_2$ of groups that are the Galois groups of the specializations of the linear difference equation…

In this note, we state a theorem of compution of the unipotent radical of the Galois group of an object $U$ of a tannakian category defined over a field of positive characteristic, extension of the unit object by a semi-simple one. We then…

We introduce and study a class of field extensions that we call pre-Galois; viz. extensions that become Galois after some linearly disjoint Galois base change. Among them are geometrically Galois extensions of k(T), with k a field:…
