The expansion of Kummer's hypergeometric function as a series of incomplete Gamma functions is discussed, for real values of the parameters and of the variable. The error performed approximating the Kummer function with a finite sum of…

In this paper we will give an explicit construction of the geometric model for a prescribed extension of a function field in several variables over a number field. As a by-product, we will also prove the existence of quasi-galois closed…

In this article we study the fields generated by the Fourier coefficients of modular forms at arbitrary cusps. We prove that these fields are contained in certain cyclotomic extensions of the field generated by the Fourier coefficients at…

Let $K$ be a number field and $K_{ur}$ be the maximal extension of $K$ that is unramified at all places. In a previous article, the first author found three real quadratic fields $K$ such that $Gal(K_{ur}/K)$ is finite and nonabelian simple…

We study the relationship between the local and global Galois theory of function fields over a complete discretely valued field. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for local separable extensions to descend to global extensions, and…

A perfect field $K$ is said to be Kummer-faithful if the Mordell-Weil group of every semi-abelian variety over every finite extension of $K$ has no nonzero divisible element. The class of Kummer-faithful fields contains that of sub-$p$-adic…

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,…

We introduce the universal unitarily graded A-algebra for a commutative ring A and an arbitrary abelian extension U of the group of units of A, and use this concept to give simplified proofs of the main theorems of co-Galois theory in the…

In this paper we study the Kummer extensions of the power series field $K=k((X_1,...,X_n)$, where $k$ is an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic.

This paper analyzes theorems about algebraic field extensions using the techniques of reverse mathematics. In section 2, we show that $\mathsf{WKL}_0$ is equivalent to the ability to extend $F$-automorphisms of field extensions to…

In this paper a Kummer theory of division points over rank one Drinfeld A=Fq[T]-modules defined over global function fields was given. The results are in complete analogy with the classical Kummer theory of division points over the…

In 2018, Legrand and Paran proved a weaker form of the Inverse Galois Problem for all Hilbertian fields and all finite groups: that is, there exist possibly non-Galois extensions over given Hilbertian base field with given finite group as…

We introduce a condition for Hopf-Galois extensions that generalizes the notion of Kummer Galois extension. Namely, an $H$-Galois extension $L/K$ is $H$-Kummer if $L$ can be generated by adjoining to $K$ a finite set $S$ of eigenvectors for…

We present a generalization of Galois descent to finite modular normal field extension $L/K$, using the Heerma-Galois group $Aut(L[\bar{X}]/K[\bar{X}])$ where $L[\bar{X}]=L[X]/(X^{p^e})$ and $e$ is the exponent of $L$ over $K$.

We construct \'etale generalized Heisenberg group covers of hyperelliptic curves over number fields. We use these to produce infinite families of quadratic extensions of cyclotomic fields that admit everywhere unramified generalized…

A main problem in Galois theory is to characterize the fields with a given absolute Galois group. We apply a K-theoretic method for constructing valuations to study this problem in various situations. As a first application we obtain an…

Let $G$ be one of the classical groups of Lie rank $l$. We make a similar construction of a general extension field in differential Galois theory for $G$ as E. Noether did in classical Galois theory for finite groups. More precisely, we…

We introduce a notion of algorithmic randomness for algebraic fields. We prove the existence of a continuum of algebraic extensions of $\mathbb{Q}$ that are random according to our definition. We show that there are noncomputable algebraic…

We show the existence of and explicitly construct generic polynomials for various groups, over fields of positive characteristic. The methods we develop apply to a broad class of connected linear algebraic groups defined over finite fields…
