Let $L/K$ be a Galois extension of number fields. We prove two lower bounds on the maximum of the degrees of the irreducible complex representations of ${\rm Gal}(L/K)$, the sharper of which is conditional on the Artin Conjecture and the…

In 2005 Wolfgang Willems put forward a conjecture proposing a lower bound for the sum of squares of the degrees of the irreducible $p$-Brauer characters of a finite group $G$. We prove this conjecture for the prime $p=2$. For this we rely…

In this paper, we extend the results of \cite{BCGS} on refined conjectures by Kurihara and Kolyvagin, allowing primes of any reduction type in the case of Kurihara's conjectures, and inert primes in the underlying imaginary quadratic field…

We study finite groups which possess a strongly p-embedded subgroup for some odd prime p. The main results of the paper will be applied in the ongoing project to classify the simple groups of local characteristic p.

We prove the exceptional zero conjecture for the symmetric powers of CM cuspidal eigenforms at ordinary primes. In other words, we determine the trivial zeroes of the associated p-adic L-functions, compute the L-invariants, and show that…

Let $G$ be a finite group of odd order. We show that if $\chi$ is an irreducible primitive character of $G$ then for all primes $p$ dividing the order of $G$ there is a conjugacy class such that the $p-$part of $\chi(1)$ divides the size of…

Let $k$ be a real abelian number field and $p$ an odd prime not dividing $[k:\mathbb{Q}]$. For a natural number $d$, let $E_d$ denote the group of units of $k$ congruent to $1$ modulo $d$, $C_d$ the subgroup of $d$-circular units of $E_d$,…

The link between Vandiver's conjecture and Gauss sums is well known since the papers of Iwasawa (1975), Thaine (1995-1999) and Angl{\`e}s-Nuccio (2010). This conjecture is required in many subjects and we shall give such examples of…

Let $p$ be an odd prime. In the paper we collect the author's various conjectures on congruences modulo $p$ or $p^2$, which are concerned with sums of binomial coefficients, Lucas sequences, power residues and special binary quadratic…

It is known that, if all the real-valued irreducible characters of a finite group have odd degree, then the group has normal Sylow $2$-subgroup. We generalize this result for Sylow $p$-subgroups, for any prime number $p$, while assuming the…

Let $A$ be the ring of integers of global field $K$. Let $G \subseteq GL_2(A)$ be a finite group. Let $G$ act linearly on $R = A[X,Y]$ (fixing $A$). Let $R^G$ be the ring of invariants. In the equi-characteristic case we prove $R^G$ is…

The equivariant Tamagawa number conjecture (hereinafter called the eTNC) predicts close relationships between algebraic and analytic aspects of motives. In this paper, we prove a lot of new cases of the minus component of the eTNC for…

We investigate the Galois group G_S(p) of the maximal p-extension unramified outside a finite set S of primes of a number field in the (mixed) case, when there are primes dividing p inside and outside S. We show that the cohomology of…

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic $0$ and $E/K$ an elliptic curve over $K$. For a finite extension $L/K$ and a prime~$\ell$, we provide Galois-theoretic sufficient conditions on $L/K$ under which…

Let $K$ be a CM field and $K^+$ be the maximal totally real subfield of $K$. Assume that the primes above $p$ in $K^+$ split in $K$. Let $S$ be a set containing exactly half of the prime ideals in $K$ above $p$. We show, assuming Leopoldt's…

Kurepa's conjecture states that there is no odd prime $p$ that divides $!p=0!+1!+\cdots+(p-1)!$. We search for a counterexample to this conjecture for all $p<2^{34}$. We introduce new optimization techniques and perform the computation…

For a prime p, we study the Galois groups of maximal pro-$p$ extensions of imaginary quadratic fields unramified outside a finite set $S$, where $S$ consists of one or two finite places not lying above $p$. When $p$ is odd, we give explicit…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $p$ be a prime divisor of $|G|$. An irreducible $p$-Brauer character $\varphi$ of $G$ is called super-monomial if every primitive $p$-Brauer character inducing $\varphi$ is linear. The group $G$ is said to be a…

In the present paper, we show that, for an odd prime number $p$ and a nontrivial finite Galois extension $k$ of $\mathbb{Q}_{p}$, the $p$-adic representation of the absolute Galois group of $k$ determined by a Lubin-Tate formal group over…

We show that if two continuous semi-simple \(\ell \)-adic Galois representations are locally potentially equivalent at a sufficiently large set of places then they are globaly potentially equivalent. We also prove an analogous result for…
