Let $f$ be an irreducible polynomial of prime degree $p\geq 5$ over $\QQ$, with precisely $k$ pairs of complex roots. Using a result of Jens H\"{o}chsmann (1999), we show that if $p\geq 4k+1$ then $\Gal(f/\QQ)$ is isomorphic to $A_{p}$ or…
The arboreal Galois group of a polynomial $f$ over a field $K$ encodes the action of Galois on the iterated preimages of a root point $x_0\in K$, analogous to the action of Galois on the $\ell$-power torsion of an abelian variety. We…
In this paper we explain how to attach to a family of $p$-adic representations of a product of Galois groups an overconvergent family of multivariable $(\varphi,\Gamma)$-modules, generalizing results from Pal-Zabradi and…
We prove the existence of noncrossed product and indecomposable division algebras over the function field of a smooth p-adic curve, especially when the curve does not admit a smooth model over Z_p. Thus we generalize arXiv 0907.0670. To…
We examine which representations of the absolute Galois group of a field of finite characteristic with image over a finite field of the same characteristic may be constructed by the Galois group's action on the division points of an…
If $\mathfrak{p} \subseteq \mathbb{Z}[\zeta]$ is a prime ideal over $p$ in the $(p^d - 1)$th cyclotomic extension of $\mathbb{Z}$, then every element $\alpha$ of the completion $\mathbb{Z}[\zeta]_\mathfrak{p}$ has a unique expansion as a…
A result due to R. Greenberg gives a relation between the cardinality of Selmer groups of elliptic curves over number fields and the characteristic power series of Pontryagin duals of Selmer groups over cyclotomic $\mathbb Z_p$-extensions…
Let G be a connected algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p (possibly 0), and X a variety on which G acts transitively with connected stabilizers. We show that any \'etale Galois cover of X of degree prime to…
A polynomial with integer coefficients yields a family of dynamical systems indexed by primes as follows: for any prime $p$, reduce its coefficients mod $p$ and consider its action on the field $\mathbb{F}_p$. We say a subset of…
Let S be a commutative ring, Q a group that acts on S, and let R be the subring of S fixed under Q. A Q-normal S-algebra consists of a central S-algebra A and a homomorphism s from Q to the group Out(A) of outer automorphisms of A that…
It is well known that, for any finitely generated torsion module M over the Iwasawa algebra Z_p [[{\Gamma} ]], where {\Gamma} is isomorphic to Z_p, there exists a continuous p-adic character {\rho} of {\Gamma} such that, for every open…
Let X --> P^2 be a p-cyclic cover branched over a smooth, connected curve C of degree divisible by p, defined over a separably closed field of prime-to-p characteristic. We show that all (unramified) p-torsion Brauer classes on X that are…
Let $A$ be a ring equipped with a derivation $\delta $. We study differential Azumaya $A$ algebras, that is, Azumaya $A$ algebras equipped with a derivation that extends $\delta $. We calculate the differential automorphism group of the…
We propose a conjectural characterization of when the dynamical Galois group associated to a polynomial is abelian, and we prove our conjecture in several cases, including the stable quadratic case over ${\mathbb Q}$. In the postcritically…
We study an analogue of the Herbrand-Ribet theorem, and its refinement by Mazur and Wiles, in graph theory. For an odd prime number $p$, we let $\mathbb{F}_{p}$ and $\mathbb{Z}_{p}$ denote the finite field with $p$ elements and the ring of…
For a smooth variety $X$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$, to a differential 1-form $\alpha$ on the Frobenius twist $X^{(1)}$ one can associate an Azumaya algebra $\mathcal D_{X,\alpha}$, defined as a certain central…
The famous Bloch--Kato conjecture implies that for a field $F$ containing a primitive $p$th root of unity, the cohomology ring of the absolute Galois group $G_F$ of $F$ with $\mathbb{F}_p$ coefficients is generated by degree one elements.…
We study the Galois symbol map associated to the multiplicative group and an abelian variety which has good ordinary reduction over a $p$-adic field. As a byproduct, one can calculate the "class group" in the view of the class field theory…
We describe relations between maximal subfields in a division ring and in its rational extensions. More precisely, we prove that properties such as being Galois or purely inseparable over the centre generically carry over from one to…
Let $E/F$ be a cyclic field extension of degree $n$, and let $\sigma$ generate the group ${\rm Gal}(E/F)$. If ${\rm Tr}^E_F(y)=\sum_{i=0}^{n-1}\sigma^i y=0$, then the additive form of Hilbert's Theorem 90 asserts that $y=\sigma x-x$ for…
