Let $K$ be a field whose absolute Galois group is finitely generated. If $K$ neither finite nor of characteristic 2, then every hyperelliptic curve over $K$ with all of its Weierstrass points defined over $K$ has infinitely many $K$-points.…
We study the irreducibility and Galois group of random polynomials over function fields. We prove that a random polynomial $f=y^n+\sum_{i=0}^{n-1}a_i(x)y^i\in\mathbb F_q[x][y]$ with i.i.d coefficients $a_i$ taking values in the set…
Let $t$ and $x$ be indeterminates, let $\phi(x)=x^2+t\in\mathbb Q(t)[x]$, and for every positive integer $n$ let $\Phi_n(t,x)$ denote the $n^{\text{th}}$ dynatomic polynomial of $\phi$. Let $G_n$ be the Galois group of $\Phi_n$ over the…
We address some questions concerning indecomposable polynomials and their behaviour under specialization. For instance we give a bound on a prime $p$ for the reduction modulo $p$ of an indecomposable polynomial $P(x)\in \Zz[x]$ to remain…
The polynomial method has been used recently to obtain many striking results in combinatorial geometry. In this paper, we use affine Hilbert functions to obtain an estimation theorem in finite field geometry. The most natural way to state…
We introduce the notion of fully Hilbertian fields, a strictly stronger notion than that of Hilbertian fields. We show that this class of fields exhibits the same good behavior as Hilbertian fields, but for fields of uncountable…
Let $K$ be a number field, let $X$ be a smooth integral variety over $K$, and assume that there exists a finite set of finite places $S$ of $K$ such that the $S$-integral points on $X$ are dense. Then the combined conjectures of Campana and…
In this paper, we prove a generalization of Green's Hyperplane Restriction Theorem to the case of modules over the polynomial ring, providing in particular an upper bound for the Hilbert function of the general linear restriction of a…
For a large class (heuristically most) of irreducible binary cubic forms $F(x,y) \in \mathbb Z[x,y]$, Bennett and Dahmen proved that the generalized superelliptic equation $F(x,y)=z^l$ has at most finitely many solutions in $x,y \in \mathbb…
Schinzel's Hypothesis H is a general conjecture in number theory on prime values of polynomials that generalizes, e.g., the twin prime conjecture and Dirichlet's theorem on primes in arithmetic progression. We prove an arithmetic analog of…
Let $R={\sf k}[x,y,z]$, the polynomial ring over a field $\sf k$. Several of the authors previously classified nets of ternary conics and their specializations over an algebraically closed field. We here show that when $\sf k$ is…
By applying Fourier transformations to the natural orthogonal oscillator representations of special linear Lie algebras, Luo and the second author (2013) obtained a large family of infinite-dimensional irreducible representations of the…
We compute the Galois group of the splitting field $F$ of any irreducible and separable polynomial $f(x)=x^6+ax^3+b$ with $a,b\in K$, a field with characteristic different from two. The proofs require to distinguish between two cases:…
Let K be a field with a valuation satisfying the following conditions: both K and the residue field k have characteristic zero; the value group is not 2-divisible; there exists a maximal subfield F in the valuation ring such that…
The multigraded Hilbert scheme parametrizes all homogeneous ideals in a polynomial ring graded by an abelian group with a fixed Hilbert function. We prove that any multigraded Hilbert scheme is smooth and irreducible when the polynomial…
We produce a new family of polynomials f(x) over fields K of characteristic 2 which are exceptional, in the sense that f(x)-f(y) has no absolutely irreducible factors in K[x,y] besides the scalar multiples of x-y; when K is finite, this…
Let $k$ be a number field and $G$ be a finite group. Let $\mathfrak{F}_{k}^{G}(Q)$ be the family of number fields $K$ with absolute discriminant $D_K$ at most $Q$ such that $K/k$ is normal with Galois group isomorphic to $G$. If $G$ is the…
Let $K$ be a number field with ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_K$ and let $G$ be a \mbox{finite group of} odd order. Given a $G$-Galois $K$-algebra $K_h$, let $A_h$ be the square root of the inverse different of $K_h/K$, which exists by…
Given a field $K$ equipped with a set of discrete valuations $V$, we develop a general theory to relate reduction properties of skew-hermitian forms over a quaternion $K$-algebra $Q$ to quadratic forms over the function field $K(Q)$…
