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 generalize the work of Roquette and Zassenhaus on the invariant part of the class groups to the relative class groups. Thereby, we can show some statistical results as follows. For abelian extensions over a fixed number field K, we show…
We consider limits over categories of extensions and show how certain well-known functors on the category of groups turn out as such limits. We also discuss higher (or derived) limits over categories of extensions.
We prove a general stability theorem for $p$-class groups of number fields along relative cyclic extensions of degree $p^2$, which is a generalization of a finite-extension version of Fukuda's theorem by Li, Ouyang, Xu and Zhang. As an…
We study $\ell$-regular partitions by defining a sequence of modular forms of level $\ell$ and quadratic character which encode their $\ell$-adic behavior. We show that this sequence is congruent modulo increasing powers of $\ell$ to level…
Let $E$ be an algebraic extension of a global field $E_{0}$ with a nontrivial Brauer group Br$(E)$, and let $P(E)$ be the set of those prime numbers $p$, for which $E$ does not equal its maximal $p$-extension $E(p)$. This paper shows that…
In this essay, we see how prime cyclotomic fields (cyclotomic fields obtained by adjoining a primitive p-th root of unity to Q, where p is an odd prime) can lead to elegant proofs of number theoretical concepts. We namely develop the notion…
We use the notion of universal extension in a linear abelian category to study extensions of variations of mixed Hodge structure and convergent and overconvergent isocrystals. The results we obtain apply, for example, to prove the exactness…
We analyze the unitarity of a modified QED with higher-order terms that violate Lorentz symmetry. We make an explicit calculation to verify unitarity at the one-loop level. As expected we find negative norm states that could in principle…
Upon quotienting by units, the elements of norm 1 in a number field $K$ form a countable subset of a torus of dimension $r_1 + r_2 - 1$ where $r_1$ and $r_2$ are the numbers of real and pairs of complex embeddings. When $K$ is Galois with…
Fix a number field $k$, integers $\ell, n \geq 2$, and a prime $p$. For all $r \geq 1$, we prove strong unconditional upper bounds on the $r$-th moment of $\ell$-torsion in the ideal class groups of degree $p$ extensions of $k$ and of…
Fix two distinct odd primes $p$ and $q$. We study "$p\ne q$" Iwasawa theory in two different settings. Let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field of class number 1 such that both $p$ and $q$ split in $K$. We show that under appropriate…
We establish bounds on a finite separable extension of function fields in terms of the relative class number, thus reducing the problem of classifying extensions with a fixed relative class number to a finite computation. We also solve the…
Functorial semi-norms on singular homology measure the "size" of homology classes. A geometrically meaningful example is the $\ell^1$-semi-norm. However, the $\ell^1$-semi-norm is not universal in the sense that it does not vanish on as few…
Proper classes of extensions of real field was defined and topological properties of these extensions were studied. These extensions can be connected, in this case such set is not closed under binary operations (addition and…
For each integer $\ell \geq 1$, we prove an unconditional upper bound on the size of the $\ell$-torsion subgroup of the class group, which holds for all but a zero-density set of field extensions of $\mathbb{Q}$ of degree $d$, for any fixed…
Let p be an odd prime, F the field of p elements and G a finite abelian p-group with an arbitrary involutory automorphism. Extend this automorphism to the group algebra FG and consider the unitary and the symmetric normalized units of FG.…
Cohen, Lenstra, and Martinet have given conjectures for the distribution of class groups of extensions of number fields, but Achter and Malle have given theoretical and numerical evidence that these conjectures are wrong regarding the Sylow…
It is well-known that the point cohomology of the convolution algebra $\ell^1({\mathbb Z}_+)$ vanishes in degrees 2 and above. We sharpen this result by obtaining splitting maps whose norms are bounded independently of the choice of point…
Let $p$ be a prime and $\mathbb{F}_p$ be a finite field of $p$ elements. Let $\mathbb{F}_pG$ denote the group algebra of the finite $p$-group $G$ over the field $\mathbb{F}_p$ and $V(\mathbb{F}_pG)$ denote the group of normalized units in…
