Let F be the function field of a curve over totally imaginary number field. Let p be a prime. If F contains a primitive p th root of unity, then every element in the third Galois cohomology group of F with values in the group of p th roots…
This paper can be seen as an update to part of the author's dissertation. We study the mod $p$ cohomology of the pro-$p$ Iwahori subgroups $I$ of $\operatorname{SL}_{n}(\mathbb Q_{p})$ (and $\operatorname{GL}_{n}(\mathbb{Q}_{p})$) for $n=2$…
We prove an assortment of results on (commutative and unital) NIP rings, especially $\mathbb{F}_p$-algebras. Let $R$ be a NIP ring. Then every prime ideal or radical ideal of $R$ is externally definable, and every localization $S^{-1}R$ is…
We prove explicit and elementary formulas for the group homology and cohomology of a finite group with coefficients in any module. We describe in elementary terms the cohomology algebra $H^*(G,k)$ as a graded algebra for a finite group $G$…
Let $\mathbb{F}_\ell$ be a finite field with $\ell$ elements and let $G = C_p \rtimes C_m$ be a faithful split metacyclic group. In this paper, we develop a complete theory for the twisted group algebra $\mathbb{F}_\ell^\alpha G$. Using the…
Let $p$ be a prime. We prove that a positive solution to Efrat's Elementary Type Conjecture implies a positive solution to the strengthened version of Mina\v{c}--T\^an's Massey Vanishing Conjecture in the case of finitely generated maximal…
We investigate the first two Galois cohomology groups of $p$-extensions over a base field which does not necessarily contain a primitive $p$th root of unity. We use twisted coefficients in a systematic way. We describe field extensions…
For $R$ a Euclidean number ring, and let $\Gamma_n(p)$ be the level-$p$ principal congruence subgroup of $\text{SL}_n(R)$. Borel--Serre showed that the cohomology of $\Gamma_n(p)$ vanishes above a degree $\nu$ that is quadratic in $n$. Let…
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…
Let $G$ be the group of rational points of a split connected reductive group over a nonarchimedean local field of residue characteristic $p$. Let $I$ be a pro-$p$ Iwahori subgroup of $G$ and let $R$ be a commutative quasi-Frobenius ring. If…
We formulate and prove a new variant of the Segal Conjecture describing the group of homotopy classes of stable maps from the p-completed classifying space of a finite group G to the classifying space of a compact Lie group K as the p-adic…
Let $(\mathbb{G},\mathbb{H})$ be a symmetric pair of reductive groups over a $p$-adic field with $p\neq 2$, attached to the involution $\theta$. Under the assumption that there exists a maximally $\theta$-split torus in $\mathbb{G}$, which…
Let $K$ be a number field and $\mathcal{C}$ a full class of finite groups. We write $K^{\mathcal{C}}/K$ for the maximal pro-$\mathcal{C}$ Galois extension of $K$, and $G_K^{\mathcal{C}}$ for its Galois group. In this paper, we deal with the…
A Hopf algebra is co-Frobenius when it has a nonzero integral. It is proved that the composition length of the indecomposable injective comodules over a co-Frobenius Hopf algebra is bounded. As a consequence, the coradical filtration of a…
We prove that a Hopf algebra of prime dimension $p$ over an algebraically closed field, whose characteristic is equal to $p$, is either a group algebra or a restricted universal enveloping algebra. Moreover, we show that any Hopf algebra of…
Let $p$ be an odd prime, and let $n\in \N$ be an integer. We show that the $n^{\text{th}}$ mod-$p$ cohomology of a solvable saturable pro-$p$ group is isomorphic to the $n^{\text{th}}$ mod-$p$ cohomology of its associated $\Z_p$-Lie algebra…
For a polynomial $f = x_1^n + \dots + x_N^n$ let $G_f$ be the non--abelian maximal group of symmetries of $f$. This is a group generated by all $g \in \mathrm{GL}(N,\mathbb{C})$, rescaling and permuting the variables, so that $f(\mathbf{x})…
We describe graded commutative Gorenstein algebras ${\mathcal E}_n(p)$ over a field of characteristic $p$, and we conjecture that $\mathrm{Ext}^\bullet_{\mathsf{Ver}_{p^{n+1}}}(1,1)\cong{\mathcal E}_{n}(p)$, where $\mathsf{Ver}_{p^{n+1}}$…
A major open problem in current Galois theory is to characterize those profinite groups which appear as absolute Galois groups of various fields. Obtaining detailed knowledge of the structure of quotients and subgroup filtrations of Galois…
For any odd prime $p$, the Galois group of the maximal unramified pro-$p$-extension of an imaginary quadratic field is a Schur $\sigma$-group. But Schur $\sigma$-groups can also be constructed and studied abstractly. We prove that if $p>3$,…
