The subject matter of this paper is the geometry of the affine group over the integers, $\mathsf{GL}(n,\mathbb{Z})\ltimes \mathbb{Z}^n$. Turing-computable complete $\mathsf{GL}(n,\mathbb{Z})\ltimes \mathbb{Z}^n$-orbit invariants are…
For every $q=n^3$ with $n$ a prime power greater than $2$, the GK-curve is an $\mathbb F_{q^2}$-maximal curve that is not $\mathbb F_{q^2}$-covered by the Hermitian curve. In this paper some Galois subcovers of the GK curve are…
Let $K$ be a number field, and $g \geq 2$ a positive integer. We define $c_K(g)$ as the smallest integer $n$ such that there exist infinitely many $\overline{K}$-isomorphism classes of genus $g$ hyperelliptic curves $C/K$ with all…

We prove (under certain assumptions) the irreducibility of the limit $\sigma_2$ of a sequence of irreducible essentially self-dual Galois representations $\sigma_k: G_{\mathbf{Q}} \to \mathrm{GL}_4(\overline{\mathbf{Q}}_p)$ (as $k$…

Let $E_{/\mathbb{Q}}$ be an elliptic curve and $p$ be an odd prime number at which $E$ has good ordinary reduction. Let $Sel_{p^\infty}(\mathbb{Q}_\infty, E)$ denote the $p$-primary Selmer group of $E$ considered over the cyclotomic…
In this note we prove that for every integer $d \geq 1$, there exists an explicit constant $B_d$ such that the following holds. Let $K$ be a number field of degree $d$, let $q > \max\{d-1,5\}$ be any rational prime that is totally inert in…
Let $E_1$ and $E_2$ be $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$-nonisogenous, semistable elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$, having respective conductors $N_{E_1}$ and $N_{E_2}$ and both without complex multiplication. For each prime $p$, denote by…
For every positive integer $n$ we construct an example of a subgroup $L< G$ of a linear ${\rm CAT}(0)$ group $G$ such that $L$ is of finiteness type $\mathcal{F}_{n-1}$ and not $\mathcal{F}_n$, and $L$ does not admit a representation into…
Let $n \geq 2$ and $p$ be a prime. Let $K$ be a number field and consider two Galois representations $\rho_1, \rho_2 : \operatorname{Gal}(\overline{K} / K) \to \operatorname{GL}_n(\mathbb{Z}_p)$ having residual image a $p$-group. We explain…
Let E be an elliptic curve over the rationals without complex multiplication. The absolute Galois group of Q acts on the group of torsion points of E, and this action can be expressed in terms of a Galois representation rho_E:Gal(Qbar/Q)…

We calculate an explicit lower bound on the proportion of elliptic curves that are modular over any Galois CM field not containing $\zeta_5$. Applied to imaginary quadratic fields, this proportion is at least $2/5$. Applied to cyclotomic…
For each prime number $\ell$ and for each imaginary quadratic order of class number one or two, we determine all the possible $\ell$-adic Galois representations that occur for any elliptic curve with complex multiplication by such an order…
Using Galois representations attached to elliptic curves, we construct Galois extensions of $\mathbb{Q}$ with group $GL_2(p)$ in which all decomposition groups are cyclic. This is the first such realization for all primes $p$.
In this paper, we introduce the study of minimal torsion curves within a fixed geometric isogeny class. For a $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$-isogeny class $\mathcal{E}$ of elliptic curves and $N \in \mathbb{Z}^+$, we wish to determine the least…
Let $A$ be a semistable abelian variety defined over ${\bf Q}$ with bad reduction only at one prime $p$. Let $L= {\bf Q}(A[\ell])$ be the $\ell$-division field of $A$ for a prime $\ell$ not equal to $p$ and let $F={\bf Q}(\mu_\ell)$ be the…
Let $K$ be a field with $G_K(2) \simeq G_{\mathbb{Q}}(2)$, where $G_F(2)$ denotes the maximal pro-2 quotient of the absolute Galois group of a field $F$. We prove that then $K$ admits a (non-trivial) valuation $v$ which is 2-henselian and…
Let p be a prime number. It is not known if every finite p-group of rank n>1 can be realized as a Galois group over Q with no more than n ramified primes. We prove that this can be done for the family of finite p-groups which contains all…
