For a maximal separable subfield $K$ of a central simple algebra $A$, we provide a semiring isomorphism between $K$-$K$-bimodules $A$ and $H$-$H$ bisets of $G = \Gal(L/F)$, where $F = \operatorname{Z}(A)$, $L$ is the Galois closure of…

It is known that a finite group G can only act freely on affine n-space if K has positive characteristic p and G is a p-group. In that case the group action is "non-linear" and the ring of regular functions must be a trace-surjective…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a locally bounded $k$-category and $G$ a torsion-free group of $k$-linear automorphisms of $\mathcal{A}$ acting freely on the objects of $\mathcal{A},$ and $F:\mathcal{A}\rightarrow \mathcal{B}$ is a Galois functor. We…

Given a global field K and a rational function phi defined over K, one may take pre-images of 0 under successive iterates of phi, and thus obtain an infinite rooted tree T by assigning edges according to the action of phi. The absolute…

In this work, we show that given a finite p-group G, a number field K having a trivial p-class group Cl K , and a finite set of primes S of K, there exists a finite extension F/K such that the S-split p-Hilbert class field tower L S p (F )…

The purpose of this paper is to constructively develop a Galois theory on irreducible shifts of finite type (SFTs) and to analyze the automorphism groups of SFTs using this framework. Let $X$ and $Y$ be irreducible SFTs. We demonstrate that…

In a previous paper, we have constructed, for an arbitrary Lie group G and any of the fields F=R or C, a good equivariant cohomology theory KF_G^*(-) on the category of proper $G$-CW-complex and have justified why it deserved the label…

Let $\mathcal{G}$ be a smooth linear group scheme of finite type. For any positive integer $k$ and a finite field $\mathbb{F}$, let $W_k(\mathbb{F})$ be the ring of Witt vectors of length $k$ over $\mathbb{F}$. We show that the group…

Let $K/k$ be a finite Galois extension, $G=\text{Gal}(K/k)$, $\Sigma$ be a fan in a lattice $N$ and $X_{\Sigma}$ be an associated toric variety over $k$. It is well known that the set of $K/k$-forms of $X_{\Sigma}$ is in bijection with…

In his thesis, S. Checcoli shows that, among other results, if $K$ is a number field and if $L/K$ is an infinite Galois extension with Galois group $G$ of finite exponent, then $L$ has uniformly bounded local degrees at every prime of $K$.…

We prove the following extension of Tits' simplicity theorem. Let $k$ be an infinite field, $G$ an algebraic group defined and quasi-simple over $k,$ and $G(k)$ the group of $k$-rational points of $G.$ Let $G(k)^+$ be the subgroup of $G(k)$…

We construct and study fields F with the property that F has infinitely many extensions of some fixed degree, but E*/(E*)^n is finite for every finite extension E of F and every n>0.

In this paper we interpret the solutions to a particular Galois embedding problem over an extension K/F whose Galois group is a finite, cyclic p group in terms of certain Galois submodules within the parameterizing space of elementary…

Given a smooth hyperplane section $H$ of a rational homogeneous space $G/P$ with Picard number one, we address the question whether it is always possible to lift an automorphism of $H$ to the Lie group $G$, or more precisely to Aut$(G/P)$.…

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…

Let $G$ be a finite group. For a $G$-ring $A,$ let ${\rm Pic}^{\it G}({\it A})$ denote the equivariant Picard group of $A.$ We show that if $A$ is a finite type algebra over a field $k$ then ${\rm Pic}^{\it G}({\it A})$ is contracted in the…

This work addresses the existence of transitive extensions of certain infinite permutation groups which arise as the automorphism groups of model-theoretic structures which are generic in the Fra\"iss\'e sense. The study of transitive…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive group defined over a non archimedean local field $k$. A theorem of Bernstein states that for any compact open subgroup $K$ of $G(k)$, there are, up to unramified twists, only finitely many $K$-spherical…

Let $F/E$ be a finite Galois extension of fields with abelian Galois group $\Gamma$. A self-dual normal basis for $F/E$ is a normal basis with the additional property that $Tr_{F/E}(g(x),h(x))=\delta_{g,h}$ for $g,h\in\Gamma$.…

Motivated by the work of Liu, we study certain canonical quotients of $G_{\emptyset}^T(K)$ -- the Galois group of the maximal unramified extension of a global field $K$ that is split completely at a finite nonempty set of places in $T$ --…
