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…

There is a known analogy between growth questions for class groups and for Selmer groups. If $p$ is a prime, then the $p$-torsion of the ideal class group grows unboundedly in $\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}$-extensions of a fixed number field $K$,…

For a fixed finite solvable group $G$ and number field $K$, we prove an upper bound for the number of $G$-extensions $L/K$ with restricted local behavior (at infinitely many places) and ${\rm inv}(L/K)<X$ for a general invariant $"{\rm…

In this paper, for every prime $p$ and every $0\le n\le \infty$, we classify the structure of the torsion subgroup of the group of $\mathbb{Q}_p(\mu_{p^n})$-rational points of elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}_p$ with good reduction, where…

Consider a finite group $G$ of order $n$ with a prime divisor $p$. In this article, we establish, among other results, that if the Sylow $p$-subgroup of $G$ is neither cyclic nor generalized quaternion, then there exists a bijection $f$…

Hans Zassenhaus conjectured that every torsion unit of the integral group ring of a finite group $G$ is conjugate within the rational group algebra to an element of the form $\pm g$ with $g\in G$. This conjecture has been disproved recently…

We show that if a torsion free nilpotent group $G$ has a balanced presentations and Hirsch length $h(G)>3$ then $\beta_1(G;\mathbb{Q})=2$. There is just one such group which is torsion-free and of Hirsch length $h=4$, and none with $h=5$.…

H.J. Zassenhaus conjectured that any unit of finite order and augmentation $1$ in the integral group ring $\mathbb{Z}G$ of a finite group $G$ is conjugate in the rational group algebra $\mathbb{Q}G$ to an element of $G$. We prove the…

The mapping class group ${\Gamma}_g^ 1$ of a closed orientable surface of genus $g \geq 1$ with one marked point can be identified, by the Nielsen action, with a subgroup of the group of orientation preserving homeomorphims of the circle.…

The Addition Theorem for the algebraic entropy of group endomorphisms of torsion abelian groups was proved in [4]. Later, this result was extended to all abelian groups [3] and, recently, to all torsion finitely quasihamiltonian groups [7].…

A pro-p Cappitt group is a pro-p group G such that the subgroup topologically generated by all non-normal closed subgroups is a proper subgroup of G. In this paper we prove that non-abelian pro-p Cappitt groups whose torsion subgroup is…

Let G be a finite group and let T(G) be the abelian group of equivalence classes of endotrivial kG-modules, where k is an algebraically closed field of characteristic p. We determine, in terms of the structure of G, the kernel of the…

For a prime $\ell$, let $h_\ell(K)$ denote the $\ell$-part of the class number of the number field $K$. We investigate upper bounds for $h_\ell(K)$ when $K$ is quadratic or cubic, particularly in the case in which the discriminant of $K$ is…

In this paper we complete the characterization of Ext(G,Z) under Godel's axiom of constructibility for any torsion-free abelian group G . In particular, we prove in (V=L) that, for a singular cardinal nu of uncountable cofinality which is…

We prove that a finitely generated Lie algebra $L$ such that (i) every commutator in generators is ad-nilpotent, and (ii) $ L$ satisfies a polynomial identity, is nilpotent. As a corollary we get that a finitely generated residually-$p$…

The Addition Theorem for the algebraic entropy of group endomorphisms of torsion abelian groups was proved by Dikranjan, Goldsmith, Salce and Zanardo. It was later extended by Shlossberg to torsion nilpotent groups of class 2. As our main…

Let p be an odd prime number, E an elliptic curve over a number field k, and F/k a Galois extension of degree twice a power of p. We study the Z_p-corank rk_p(E/F) of the p-power Selmer group of E over F. We obtain lower bounds for…

In a 2008 paper Ellenberg suggested a strategy to improve the known upper bounds for the $\ell$-torsion part of class groups of number fields of fixed degree $d$. Motivated by this he proposed a question about the number of primitive…

Let $K$ be a number field and $E/K$ be an elliptic curve with no $2$-torsion points. In the present article we give lower and upper bounds for the $2$-Selmer rank of $E$ in terms of the $2$-torsion of a narrow class group of a certain cubic…

We examine the first non-vanishing higher homotopy group, $\pi_p$, of the complement of a hypersolvable, non--supersolvable, complex hyperplane arrangement, as a module over the group ring of the fundamental group, $\Z\pi_1$. We give a…
