In this paper, we are concerned with the computation of the $p$-rank and $a$-number of singular curves and their smooth model. We consider a pair $X, X'$ of proper curves over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p$, where…

Let p$\ge$2 be a given prime number. We prove, for any number field kappa and any integer e$\ge$1, the p-rank $\epsilon$-conjecture, on the p-class groups Cl\_F, for the family F\_kappa^p^e of towers F/kappa built as successive degree p…

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…

In the process of computing the Galois group of a prime degree polynomial $f(x)$ over $\mathbb Q$ we suggest a preliminary checking for the existence of non-real roots. If $f(x)$ has non-real roots, then combining a 1871 result of Jordan…

Let p > 2 be a prime number and let N be any rational integer. We consider the p-class groups Cl(L), Cl(M) of the fields $L:=Q(N^{1/p})$ and $M:=Q(N^{1/p},\mu_p)$, by comparison with the p-torsion groups T(L) and T(M) of the abelian…

For an odd prime $p$ and polynomial $P(T)$, we consider the extension $F$ of $k={\mathbb F}_p(T)$ defined by adjoining a root of $x^p+Tx-P(T)$. Such a field is a function field analogue of the number field ${\mathbb Q}(\sqrt[p]{n})$. We…

For a prime number p, we denote by K the cyclotomic Z_p-extension of a number field k. For a finite set S of prime numbers, we consider the S-ramified Iwasawa module which is the Galois group of the maximal abelian pro-p-extension of K…

Let p a prime number, Q_p the field of p-adic numbers, K a finite extension of Q_p, \bar{K} an algebraic closure, and C_p the completion of Q_p, on which the valuation on Q_p extends. In his proof of the Ax-Sen-Tate theorem, Ax shows that…

For each finite subgroup $G$ of $PGL_2(\mathbb{Q})$, and for each integer $n$ coprime to $6$, we construct explicitly infinitely many Galois extensions of $\mathbb{Q}$ with group $G$ and whose ideal class group has $n$-rank at least…

We present methods to compute Selmer groups associated to mod p Galois representations rho over a number field K, with a particular focus on comparing their ranks with periods coming from cohomology classes associated to rho by Serre's…

Let $p$ be a prime number and $\zeta_p$ be a primitive $p$-th root of unity in $\bm{C}$. Let $k$ be a field and $k(x_0,\ldots,x_{p-1})$ be the rational function field of $p$ variables over $k$. Suppose that $G=\langle\sigma\rangle \simeq…

We study the growth of the Galois invariants of the $p$-Selmer group of an elliptic curve in a degree $p$ Galois extension. We show that this growth is determined by certain local cohomology groups and determine necessary and sufficient…

Let p denote an odd prime. For all p-admissible conductors c over a quadratic number field \(K=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d})\), p-ring spaces \(V_p(c)\) modulo c are introduced by defining a morphism \(\psi:\,f\mapsto V_p(f)\) from the divisor…

In this article I study the variation of Selmer groups in families of modular Galois representations that are congruent modulo a fixed prime $p \geq 5$. Motivated by analogies with Goldfeld's conjecture on ranks in quadratic twist families…

Let $K$ be the $N$th layer in the cyclotomic $\widehat{\mathbb{Z}}$-extension $\widehat{\mathbb{Q}}$. Many authors (Aoki, Fukuda, Horie, Ichimura, Inatomi, Komatsu, Miller, Morisawa, Nakajima, Okazaki, Washington,\,$\ldots$) analyse the…

In our previous paper we describe the Galois module structures of $p$th-power class groups $K^\times/{K^{\times p}}$, where $K/F$ is a cyclic extension of degree $p$ over a field $F$ containing a primitive $p$th root of unity. Our…

For a prime $p$ and a matrix $A \in \mathbb{Z}^{n \times n}$, write $A$ as $A = p (A \,\mathrm{quo}\, p) + (A \,\mathrm{rem}\, p)$ where the remainder and quotient operations are applied element-wise. Write the $p$-adic expansion of $A$ as…

We represent the rational and mod $p$ cohomology groups of classifying spaces of rank 3 Kac-Moody groups by a direct sum of the invariants of Weyl groups and their quotients. As an application, the authors conclude that there is a…
