Greenberg's conjecture on the stability of $\ell$-class groups in the cyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_{\ell}$-extension of a real field has been proven for various infinite families of real quadratic fields for the prime $\ell=2$. In this work, we…
We extend to the context of algebraic groups a classic result on extensions of abstract groups relating the set of isomorphism classes of extensions of $G$ by $H$ with that of extensions of $G$ by the center $Z$ of $H$. The proof should be…
We give a completely normal element in the maximal real subfield of a cyclotomic field over the field of rational numbers, which is different from that of Okada. This result is a consequence of the criterion for a normal element developed…
In this paper, we find all the generic polynomials for geometric $\ell$-cyclic function field extensions over the finite fields $\mathbb{F}_q$ where $q= p^n$, $p$ prime integer such that $q \equiv -1 \mod \ell$ and $(\ell , p)=1$.
In this note one tries to venture into a study of some notions, in the context of a (unital) normed algebra, in particular the algebra of operators on a Hilbert space. Namely, one considers ``moving norms'', i.e.\ norming an element minus a…
Given a number field $K$, a finite abelian group $G$ and finitely many elements $\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_t\in K$, we construct abelian extensions $L/K$ with Galois group $G$ that realise all of the elements $\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_t$ as…
We construct certain elements in the integral motivic cohomology group $H^3_{{\cal M}}(E \times E',\Q(2))_{\ZZ}$, where $E$ and $E'$ are elliptic curves over $\Q$. When $E$ is not isogenous to $E'$ these elements are analogous to…
We make a study of ll-extensions of model category structures. We prove an existence result of ll-extensions, present some specific and some rather formal results about them and give an application of the existence result to the homotopy…
Let $G$ be a group. Two elements $x,y \in G$ are said to be in the same $z$-class if their centralizers in $G$ are conjugate within $G$. Consider $\mathbb F$ a perfect field of characteristic $\neq 2$, which has a non-trivial Galois…
In this note, we investigate the p-adic behavior of Weil numbers in the cyclotomic $\mathbb Z\_p$-extension of $\mathbb Q(\zeta\_p).$ We determlne the characteristic ideal of the quotient of semi-local units by Weil numbers in terms of the…
Let K be a finite extension of Q_p. The field of norms of a p-adic Lie extension K_infty/K is a local field of characteristic p which comes equipped with an action of Gal(K_infty/K). When can we lift this action to characteristic 0, along…
We consider the class numbers of imaginary quadratic extensions $F(\sqrt{-p})$, for certain primes $p$, of totally real quadratic fields $F$ which have class number one. Using seminal work of Shintani, we obtain two elementary class number…
We study a family of polytopes and their duals, that appear in various optimization problems as the unit balls for certain norms. These two families interpolate between the hypercube, the unit ball for the $\infty$-norm, and its dual…
We use buildings and group extensions to compute lower bounds on the top Betti numbers for the cohomology of the level p congruence subgroups of SL(3,Z) and Sp(4,Z).
Let p\in\{2,3\}, and let k be an imaginary quadratic field in which p decomposes into two distinct primes \mathfrak{p} and \bar{\mathfrak{p}}. Let k_\infty be the unique Z_p-extension of k which is unramified outside of \mathfrak{p}, and…
We consider first-order definability and decidability questions over rings of integers of algebraic extensions of $\Q$, paying attention to the uniformity of definitions. The uniformity follows from the simplicity of our first-order…
We introduce the universal unitarily graded A-algebra for a commutative ring A and an arbitrary abelian extension U of the group of units of A, and use this concept to give simplified proofs of the main theorems of co-Galois theory in the…
We classify the parabolic unitals in regular nearfield planes of odd order $q^2$ whose linear collineation group has the maximal size of $q^3-q$. We also establish a number of more general results concerning parabolic unitals in regular…
Let L/F be a dihedral extension of degree 2p, where p is an odd prime. Let K/F and k/F be subextensions of L/F with degrees p and 2, respectively. Then we will study relations between the p-ranks of the class groups Cl(K) and Cl(k).
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…
