We prove the explicit characterization of the so-called "best f" for degree $p$ Artin-Schreier and degree $p$ Kummer extensions of Henselian valuation rings in residue characteristic $p$. This characterization is mentioned briefly in [Th16,…

The local Oort conjecture states that, if G is cyclic and k is an algebraically closed field of characteristic p, then all G-extensions of k[[t]] should lift to characteristic zero. We prove a critical case of this conjecture. In…

We use explicit class field theory of rational function fields to prove a dynamical criterion for a polynomial of the form $x^{p^r}+ax+b$ over a field of characteristic $p$ to have dynamical Galois group as large as possible. When $p=2$ and…

This paper introduces and systematically develops the theory of polyadic group rings, a higher arity generalization of classical group rings $\mathcal{R}[\mathsf{G}]$. We construct the fundamental operations of these structures, defining…

Let S/R be a finite extension of discrete valuation rings of characteristic p>0, and suppose that the corresponding extension L/K of fields of fractions is separable and is H-Galois for some K-Hopf algebra H. Let D_{S/R} be the different of…

Let $p$ be an irregular prime. Let $K=\Q(\zeta)$ be the $p$-cyclotomic field. From Kummer and class field theory, there exist Galois extensions $S/\Q$ of degree $p(p-1)$ such that $S/K$ is a cyclic unramified extension of degree $[S:K]=p$.…

In this paper we construct an algebraic invariant attached to Galois representations over number fields. This invariant, which we call an Artin symmetric function, lives in a certain ring we introduce called the ring of arithmetic symmetric…

We prove automorphy lifting results for certain essentially conjugate self-dual $p$-adic Galois representations $\rho$ over CM imaginary fields $F$, which satisfy in particular that $p$ splits in $F$, and that the restriction of $\rho$ on…

We define a variant of normal basis, called a {\em Galois scaffolding}, that allows for an easy determination of valuation, and has implications for Galois module structure. We identify fully ramified, elementary abelian extensions of local…

The recently developed theory of Schur rings over a finite cyclic group is generalized to Schur rings over a ring R being a product of Galois rings of coprime characteristics. It is proved that if the characteristic of R is odd, then as in…

Let $\mathcal{R}_e=GR(p^e,r)[y]/\langle g(y),p^{e-1}y^t\rangle$ be a finite commutative chain ring, where $p$ is a prime number, $GR(p^e,r)$ is the Galois ring of characteristic $p^e$ and rank $r,$ $t$ and $k$ are positive integers…

We previously obtained a generalization and refinement of results about the ramification theory of Artin-Schreier extensions of discretely valued fields in characteristic $p$ with perfect residue fields to the case of fields with more…

Let k be an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic p. We consider which finite groups G have the property that every faithful action of G on a connected smooth projective curve over k lifts to characteristic zero. Oort…

We study finite groups of automorphisms of the $p$-adic open disk. In particular, we generalize results of Green, Matignon and Henrio from cyclic groups of order $p$ to arbitrary finite groups. As an application, we produce a counterexample…

Suppose $\phi$ is a $\mathbb{Z}/4$-cover of a curve over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $2$, and $\Phi_1$ is a \emph{nice} lift of $\phi$'s $\mathbb{Z}/2$-sub-cover to a complete discrete valuation ring $R$ in…

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic $p>0$. It is proved that each automorphism $\s \in \Aut_K(\CDPn)$ of the ring $\CDPn$ of differential operators on a polynomial algebra $P_n= K[x_1, ..., x_n]$ is {\em uniquely} determined by the…

In this note we determine all power series $F(X)\in 1+X\F_p[[X]]$ such that $(F(X+Y))^{-1} F(X)F(Y)$ has only terms of total degree a multiple of $p$. Up to a scalar factor, they are all the series of the form $F(X)=E_p(cX)\cdot G(X^p)$ for…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p > 0$. We consider the problem of lifting $p$-cyclic covers of $\Proj_k$ as $p$-cyclic covers of the projective line over some DVR under the condition that the wild monodromy is…

This paper generalises previous work of the author to the setting of overconvergent $p$-adic automorphic forms for a definite quaternion algebra over a totally real field. We prove results which are analogues of classical `level raising'…

Suppose $\mathcal K$ is $N$-dimensional local field of characteristic $p$, $\mathcal G =\mathop{Gal}(\mathcal K_{sep}/\mathcal K)$, $\mathcal G_{<p}$ is the maximal quotient of $\mathcal G$ of period $p$ and nilpotent class $<p$ and…
