We call a (q-1)-th Kummer extension of a cyclotomic function field a quasi-cyclotomic function field if it is Galois, but non-abelian, over the rational function field with the constant field of q elements. In this paper, we determine the…

Given a $p$-adic field $K$ and a prime number $\ell$, we count the total number of the isomorphism classes of $p^\ell$-extensions of $K$ having no intermediate fields. Moreover for each group that can appear as Galois group of the normal…

Higher genus partition functions of two-dimensional conformal field theories have to be invariants under linear actions of mapping class groups. We illustrate recent results [4,6] on the construction of such invariants by concrete…

This paper justifies an assertion in (Elder, Proc AMS 137 (2009), no 4, 1193--1203) that Galois scaffolds make the questions of Galois module structure tractable. Let $k$ be a perfect field of characteristic $p$ and let $K=k((T))$. For the…

We use the Clemens-Griffiths method to construct smooth projective threefolds, over any field $k$ admitting a separable quadratic extension, that are $k$-unirational and $\bar{k}$-rational but not $k$-rational. When $k=\mathbb{R}$, we can…

This article is devoted to studying the ramification of Galois torsors and of $\ell$-adic sheaves in characteristic $p>0$ (with $\ell\not=p$). Let $k$ be a perfect field of characteristic $p>0$, $X$ be a smooth, separated and quasi-compact…

A finite group $G$ is said to be admissible over a field $F$ if there exists a division algebra $D$ central over $F$ with a maximal subfield $L$ such that $L/F$ is Galois with group $G$. In this paper we give a complete characterization of…

Let K be a local field of characteristic p with perfect residue field k. In this paper we find a set of representatives for the k-isomorphism classes of totally ramified separable extensions L/K of degree p. This extends work of Klopsch,…

In the first part of this paper, we develop a general framework that permits a comparison between explicit class field theories for a family of rational function fields $\mathbb{F}_s(t)$ over arbitrary constant fields $\mathbb{F}_s$ and…

Let $\mathbb{K}$ be the algebraic closure of a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of odd characteristic $p$. For a positive integer $m$ prime to $p$, let $F=\mathbb{K}(x,y)$ be the transcendency degree $1$ function field defined by…

In this paper we obtain the genus field of a general Kummer extension of a global rational function field. We study first the case of a general Kummer extension of degree a power of a prime. Then we prove that the genus field of a composite…

A Galois scaffold, in a Galois extension of local fields with perfect residue fields, is an adaptation of the normal basis to the valuation of the extension field, and thus can be applied to answer questions of Galois module structure. Here…

Let $k$ be a rational congruence function field and consider an arbitrary finite separable extension $K/k$. If for each prime in $k$ ramified in $K$ we have that at least one ramification index is not divided by the characteristic of $K$,…

For a wildly ramified extension $K/k$ of complete discrete valuation fields we study collections of elements of $k[G]$ (where $G=Gal(K/k)$) that fit well for constructing bases of various associated Galois modules and orders. In the case…

Let $K$ be a $p$-adic field, and let $K_\infty/K$ be a Galois extension that is almost totally ramified, and whose Galois group is a $p$-adic Lie group of dimension $1$. We prove that $K_\infty$ is not dense in $(\mathbf{B}_{\mathrm{dR}}^+…

Let F be a global function field and let F^ab be its maximal abelian extension. Following an approach of D.Hayes, we shall construct a continuous homomorphism \rho: Gal(F^ab/F) \to C_F, where C_F is the idele class group of F. Using class…

Let $F$ be a global function field of characteristic $p>0$ and $A/F$ an abelian variety. Let $K/F$ be an $\l$-adic Lie extension ($\l\neq p$) unramified outside a finite set of primes $S$ and such that $\Gal(K/F)$ has no elements of order…

In [2], an exhaustive construction is achieved for the class of all 4-dimensional unital division algebras over finite fields of odd order, whose left nucleus is not minimal and whose automorphism group contains Klein's four-group. We…

For important cases of algebraic extensions of valued fields, we develop presentations of the associated K\"ahler differentials of the extensions of their valuation rings. We compute their annihilators as well as the associated Dedekind…

We prove that every place P of an algebraic function field F|K of arbitrary characteristic admits local uniformization in a finite extension E of F. We show that E|F can be chosen to be Galois, after a finite purely inseparable extension of…
