Several questions about the Galois group of field generated by certain one dimensional formal group laws are studied. This is continuation of author's prior article titled 'Field Generated by Division Points of Certain Formal Group Laws -…
For a finite group $G$, we introduce a generalization of norm relations in the group algebra $\mathbb Q[G]$. We give necessary and sufficient criteria for the existence of such relations and apply them to obtain relations between the…
Let K be a number field and let f(x) = x^q + c where q is a prime power, c is in K, and f is not post-critically finite. We show that for any strictly preperiodic b in K, the iterated Galois group at b with respect to f has finite index in…
This paper describes the classification of analytic $q$-difference equations. The difference Galois groups are computed. A tentative description of the universal difference Galois group is given.
From its early beginnings up to nowadays, algebraic number theory has evolved in symbiosis with Galois theory: indeed, one could hold that it consists in the very study of the absolute Galois group of the field of rational numbers. Nothing…
Let $K$ be the function field of a smooth projective geometrically integral curve over a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$. Following the works of Harari, Scheiderer, Szamuely, Izquierdo, and Tian, we study the local-global and weak…
This paper introduces a novel approach to understanding Galois theory, one of the foundational areas of algebra, through the lens of machine learning. By analyzing polynomial equations with machine learning techniques, we aim to streamline…
A self-contained exposition is given of the topological and Galois-theoretic properties of the category of combinatorial 1-complexes, or graphs, very much in the spirit of Stallings. A number of classical, as well as some new results about…
These are the notes for an undergraduate course at the University of Edinburgh, 2021-2023. Assuming basic knowledge of ring theory, group theory and linear algebra, the notes lay out the theory of field extensions and their Galois groups,…
The "unit theorem" to which the present mini-course is devoted is a theorem from algebra that has a combinatorial flavour, and that originated in fact from algebraic combinatorics. Beyond a proof, the course also addresses applications, one…
In this paper, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the finiteness of Galois cohomology of unipotent groups over local fields of positive characteristic
The study of arboreal Galois representations (that is, Galois groups arising from iteration of polynomial and rational functions) originated with work of Odoni in the 1980s. Beginning in the early 2000s it underwent a period of renewed…
If $G_1$ and $G_2$ are torsion-free hyperbolic groups and $P<G_1\times G_2$ is a finitely generated subdirect product, then the conjugacy problem in $P$ is solvable if and only if there is a uniform algorithm to decide membership of the…
We introduce group corings, and study functors between categories of comodules over group corings, and the relationship to graded modules over graded rings. Galois group corings are defined, and a Structure Theorem for the $G$-comodules…
In (Borceux-Janelidze 2001) they prove a Categorical Galois Theorem for ordinary categories, and establish the main result of (Joyal-Tierney 1984), along with the classical Galois theory of Rings, as instances of this more general result.…
In this paper, we consider the conjugacy growth function of a group, which counts the number of conjugacy classes which intersect a ball of radius $n$ centered at the identity. We prove that in the case of virtually polycyclic groups, this…
For a differential field $F$ having an algebraically closed field of constants, we analyze the structure of Picard-Vessiot extensions of $F$ whose differential Galois groups are unipotent algebraic groups and apply these results to study…
If we consider a q-analogue of linear differential equation, Galoois group of the q-analogue difference equation is still a linear algebraic group. Namely, by a quantization of linear differential equation, Galois group is not quantized. We…
In a previous paper, we provided an explicit description of the arboreal Galois group of the postcritically finite polynomial $f(z) = z^2 +c$ in the special case when the critical point $0$ is periodic under the action of $f(z)$. In the…
In this paper, the changes of representations of a group are used in order to describe its action as algebraic Galois group of an univariate polynomial on the roots of factors of any Lagrange resolvent. By this way, the Galois group of…
