Let $E/\mathbb{Q}_p$ be an elliptic curve whose mod $p$ Galois image is contained in the normaliser of a non-split Cartan. We classify the possible $p$-adic images of $E$ using tools from $p$-adic Hodge theory via a careful analysis of the…

In the present notes we provide a new uniform way to compute a canonical p-dimension of a split algebraic group G for a torsion prime p using degrees of basic polynomial invariants described by V.Kac. As an application, we compute the…

We give a dynamical proof of a result of Masser and Zannier [MZ2, MZ3] about torsion points on the Legendre family of elliptic curves. Our methods also treat points of small height. A key ingredient is the arithmetic equidistribution…

In this paper we obtain new quantitative forms of Hilbert's Irreducibility Theorem. In particular, we show that if $f(X, T_1, \ldots, T_s)$ is an irreducible polynomial with integer coefficients, having Galois group $G$ over the function…

In this article we present a new method to obtain polynomial lower bounds for Galois orbits of torsion points of one dimensional group varieties.

We consider the distribution in residue classes modulo primes $p$ of Euler's totient function $\phi(n)$ and the sum-of-proper-divisors function $s(n):=\sigma(n)-n$. We prove that the values $\phi(n)$, for $n\le x$, that are coprime to $p$…

This paper investigates Galois branched covers of the open $p$-adic disc and their reductions to characteristic $p$. Using the field of norms functor of Fontaine and Wintenberger, we show that the special fiber of a Galois cover is…

We define a pro-$p$ Abelian sheaf on a modular curve of a fixed level $N \geq 5$ divisible by a prime number $p \neq 2$. Every $p$-adic representation of $\text{Gal}(\overline{\mathbb{Q}}/\mathbb{Q})$ associated to an eigenform is obtained…

For a finite group $G$, Frobenius found a formula for the values of the function $\sum_{\mathrm{Irr} G} (\dim\, \pi)^{-s}$ for even integers $s$, where $\mathrm{Irr} G$ is the set of irreducible representations of $G$. We generalize this…

For any rigid analytic group variety $G$ over a non-archimedean field $K$ over $\mathbb Q_p$, we study $G$-torsors on adic spaces over $K$ in the $v$-topology. Our main result is that on perfectoid spaces, $G$-torsors in the \'etale and…

We study properties of arithmetic sets coming from multiplicative number theory and obtain applications in the theory of uniform distribution and ergodic theory. Our main theorem is a generalization of K\'atai's orthogonality criterion.…

We show that, in a restricted range, the divisor function of integers in residue classes modulo a prime follows a Gaussian distribution, and a similar result for Hecke eigenvalues of classical holomorphic cusp forms. Furthermore, we obtain…

We explicitly compute the adjoint L-function of those L-packets of representations of the group GSp(4) over a p-adic field of characteristic zero that contain non-supercuspidal representations. As an application we verify a conjecture of…

We study the weight part of Serre's conjecture for generic $n$-dimensional mod $p$ Galois representations. We first generalize Herzig's conjecture to the case where the field is ramified at $p$ and prove the weight elimination direction of…

Semi-topological Galois theory associates a canonical finite splitting covering to a monic Weierstrass polynomial. The inverse limit of the corresponding deck groups defines the absolute semi-topological Galois group, $\PiST(X,x)$. This…

Given a torsion section of a semistable elliptic surface, we prove equidistribution results for the components of singular fibers which are hit by the section, and for the root of unity (identifying the zero component with ${\Bbb C}$) which…

Inspired by a beautiful formula of Bertolini, Darmon, and Prasanna -- the oft-termed BDP formula -- we address questions about the non-vanishing of non-torsion points under $p$-adic logarithms of abelian varieties. We largely consider…

For a given point P in the group of K-rational points E(K) of an elliptic curve, we consider the sequence of values (F_1(P),F_2(P),F_3(P),...) of the division polynomials of E at P. If K is a finite field, we prove that the sequence is…

Let $m$ be a positive integer and let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$ with the property that $m\mid#E(\mathbb{F}_p)$ for a density $1$ set of primes $p$. Building upon work of Katz and Harron-Snowden, we study the probability…

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…
