The question of computing the reductions modulo $p$ of two-dimensional crystalline $p$-adic Galois representations has been studied extensively, and partial progress has been made for representations that have small weights, very small…
For unitary, orthogonal and symplectic groups, we compute the dimension of the reduced Emerton-Gee stacks, and give an explicit description of their top-dimensional Chow group. Our results are unconditional when $p\neq 2$. The main…
Malle proposed a conjecture for counting the number of $G$-extensions $L/K$ with discriminant bounded above by $X$, denoted $N(K,G;X)$, where $G$ is a fixed transitive subgroup $G\subset S_n$ and $X$ tends towards infinity. We introduce a…
For an algebraic number field $K$ and a prime number $p$, let $\widetilde{K}/K$ be the maximal multiple $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extension. Greenberg's generalized conjecture (GGC) predicts that the Galois group of the maximal unramified abelian…
When monic integral polynomials of degree $n \geq 2$ are ordered by the maximum of the absolute value of their coefficients, the Hilbert irreducibility theorem implies that asymptotically 100% are irreducible and have Galois group…
Building on lifting results of Ramakrishna, Khare and Ramakrishna proved a purely Galois-theoretic level-raising theorem for two-dimensional odd representations of the Galois group of Q. In this paper, we generalize these techniques from…
This article is a survey of conjectures and results on reductive algebraic groups having good reduction at a suitable set of discrete valuations of the base field. Until recently, this subject has received relatively little attention, but…
A conjecture of Breuil, Buzzard, and Emerton says that the slopes of certain reducible $p$-adic Galois representations must be integers. In previous work we showed this conjecture for representations that lie over certain non-subtle…
Let $A = a_0T^m + \sum_{j=1}^{m-1} a_j (T^{m-j}+T^{m+j}) + T^{2m}+1 \in \mathbf{Z}[T]$ be a monic reciprocal polynomial of degree $2m$ sampled randomly by selecting its coefficients $a_0,a_1,\dots,a_{m-1}$ independently according to a given…
Graded-division algebras are building blocks in the theory of finite-dimensional associative algebras graded by a group G. If G is abelian, they can be described, using a loop construction, in terms of central simple graded-division…
We compute the Galois group of a polynomial whose roots are determined by the critical points of a scalar potential in type IIB compactifications. We focus our study on certain perturbative models where it is feasible to construct a de…
We prove an irreducibility criterion for polynomials of the form $h(x)=x^{2m} + bx^m + c_1 \in F[x]$ relating to the Dickson polynomials of the first kind $D_p$. In the case when $F = \mathbb{Q}$, $m$ is a prime $p>3$, and $c_1=c^p$, for…
Let $p$ be a prime number and let $n$ be an integer not divisible by $p$ and such that every group of order $np$ has a normal subgroup of order $p$. (This holds in particular for $p>n$.) We prove that left braces of size $np$ may be…
We consider questions in Galois cohomology which arise by considering mod $p$ Galois representations arising from automorphic forms. We consider a Galois cohomological analog for the standard heuristics about the distribution of Wieferich…
We study the height of generators of Galois extensions of the rationals having the alternating group $\mathfrak{A}_n$ as Galois group. We prove that if such generators are obtained from certain, albeit classical, constructions, their height…
Let $L/K$ be a finite Galois, totally ramified $p$-extension of complete local fields with perfect residue fields of characteristic $p>0$. In this paper, we give conditions, valid for any Galois $p$-group $G={Gal}(L/K)$ (abelian or not) and…
We determine the numerical invariants of blocks with defect group D_{2^n} * C_{2^m} = Q_{2^n} * C_{2^m} (central product), where n > 2 and m > 1. As a consequence, we prove Brauer's k(B)-conjecture, Olsson's conjecture (and more generally…
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.…
Using a stable equivalence due to Rouquier, we prove that Broue's abelian defect group conjecture holds for 3-blocks of defect 2 whose Brauer correspondent has a unique isomorphism class of simple modules. The proof makes use of the fact,…
The zig-zag conjecture says that the reductions of two-dimensional crystalline representations of the Galois group of ${\mathbb {Q}}_p$ of large exceptional weights and half-integral slopes up to $\frac{p-1}{2}$ vary through an alternating…
