Let $\varphi_p(z)=(z-1)^p+2-\zeta_p$, where $\zeta_p\in\bar{\mathbb{Q}}$ is a primitive $p$-th root of unity for some odd prime $p$. Building on previous work, we show that the $n$-th iterate $\varphi_p^n(z)$ has Galois group $[C_p]^n$, an…

A conjecture of Kac now a theorem asserts that the polynomial now known as the Kac polynomial, which counts the isomorphism classes of absolutely indecomposable representations of a quiver over a finite field with a given dimension vector,…

We determine the Galois module structure of the ring of integers for all cubic fields using roots of the generic cyclic cubic polynomial $f_n(X)=X^3-nX^2-(n+3)X-1$. Let $L_n=\mathbb Q(\rho_n)$ be a cyclic cubic field with Galois group…

For positive integers $n$, the truncated binomial expansions of $(1+x)^n$ which consist of all the terms of degree $\le r$ where $1 \le r \le n-2$ appear always to be irreducible. For fixed $r$ and $n$ sufficiently large, this is known to…

A period is a complex number arising as the integral of a rational function with algebraic number coefficients over a rationally-defined region. Although periods are typically transcendental numbers, there is a conjectural Galois theory of…

In this work, we describe our experience in learning the use of a computer proof assistant - specifically, Lean - from scratch, through proving formulae for the solutions of polynomial equations. Specifically, in this work we characterize…

Let f(x) be a monic polynomial in Z[x] with no rational roots but with roots in Q_p for all p, or equivalently, with roots mod n for all n. It is known that f(x) cannot be irreducible but can be a product of two or more irreducible…

A polynomial x^3+px^2+qx+r with the condition pr^(1/3)+ 3r^(2/3)+q=0 we call a Ramanujan cubic polynomial (RCP). We study different interest properties of RCP, in particular, an important role of a parameter pq/r. We prove some new…

Let $n\ge 3$ be an odd natural number. In 1738, Abraham de Moivre introduced a family of polynomials of degree $n$ with rational coefficients, all of which are solvable. So far, the Galois groups of these polynomials have been investigated…

A rational perfect cuboid is a rectangular parallelepiped whose edges and face diagonals are given by rational numbers and whose space diagonal is equal to unity. Finding such a cuboid is equivalent to finding a perfect cuboid with all…

In the present paper, we will show that three apparently disjoint objects: Galois representations arising from twenty-seven lines on a cubic surface (number theory and arithmetic algebraic geometry), Picard modular forms (automorphic…

Let $K$ be a function field of characteristic $p\geq0$ or a number field over which the $abc$ conjecture holds, and let $\phi(x)=x^d+c \in K[x]$ be a unicritical polynomial of degree $d\geq2$ with $d \not\equiv 0,1\pmod{p}$. We completely…

Given a symmetric polynomial $P$ in $2n$ variables, there exists a unique symmetric polynomial $Q$ in $n$ variables such that \[ P(x_1,\ldots,x_n,x_1^{-1},\ldots,x_n^{-1}) =Q(x_1+x_1^{-1},\ldots,x_n+x_n^{-1}). \] We denote this polynomial…

Let n be an odd number and F an imaginary quadratic field with odd discriminant. We show that there exists infinitely many cubic fields K such that the class number of K is divisible by n and the Galois closure of K contains F.

We state a kind of Euclidian division theorem: given a polynomial P(x) and a divisor d of the degree of P, there exist polynomials h(x),Q(x),R(x) such that P(x) = h(Q(x)) +R(x), with deg h=d. Under some conditions h,Q,R are unique, and Q is…

We show how the size of the Galois groups of iterates of a quadratic polynomial $f(x)$ can be parametrized by certain rational points on the curves $C_n:y^2=f^n(x)$ and their quadratic twists. To that end, we study the arithmetic of such…

We compute the Galois groups for a certain class of polynomials over the the field of rational numbers that was introduced by S. Mori and study the monodromy of corresponding hyperelliptic jacobians.

We investigate the Galois cohomology of finitely generated maximal pro-$p$ quotients of absolute Galois groups. Assuming the well-known conjectural description of these groups, we show that Galois cohomology has the PBW property. Hence in…

Let $Q_{p,q}(t)\in\mathbb{Z}[t]$ be Sharipov's even monic degree-$10$ second cuboid polynomial depending on coprime integers $p\neq q>0$. Writing $Q_{p,q}(t)$ as a quintic in $t^{2}$ produces an associated monic quintic polynomial. After…

We introduce a criterion on the presentation of finitely presented pro-$p$ groups which allows us to compute their cohomology groups and infer quotients of mild groups of cohomological dimension strictly larger than two, from (non-free)…
