For $p$ prime and $\ell = \frac{p-1}{2}$, we show that the shapes of pure prime degree number fields lie on one of two $\ell$-dimensional subspaces of the space of shapes, and which of the two subspaces is dictated by whether or not $p$…

Let $F$ be a local field over $\mathbf{Q}_p$ or $\mathbf{F}_p((t))$, and let $D$ be a central simple division algebra over $F$ of degree $d$. In the $p$-adic case, we assume $p>de+1$ where $e$ is the ramification degree over $\mathbf{Q}_p$;…

We consider p-extensions of number fields such that the filtration of the Galois group by higher ramification groups is of prescribed finite length. We extend well-known properties of tame extensions to this more general setting; for…

Let $q$ be a quadratic form over a field $F$ and let $L$ be a field extension of $F$ of odd degree. It is a classical result that if $q_L$ is isotropic (resp. hyperbolic) then $q$ is isotropic (resp. hyperbolic). In turn, given two…

The main result of this paper is that if E is a field extension of finite odd degree over a real field Q, and if E is a repeated radical extension of Q, then every intermediate field is also a repeated radical extension of Q. This paper…

For each odd prime $p$, we prove the existence of infinitely many real quadratic fields which are $p$-rational. Explicit imaginary and real bi-quadratic $p$-rational fields are also given for each prime $p$. Using a recent method developed…

Let $K$ be a cyclic totally real number field of odd degree over $\mathbb{Q}$ with odd class number, such that every totally positive unit is the square of a unit, and such that $2$ is inert in $K/\mathbb{Q}$. We define a family of number…

For every prime number p, we show the existence of a solvable number field L ramified only at {p and infinity whose p-Hilbert Class field tower is infinite.

For every prime $p\geq 5$ for which a certain condition on the class group $\text{Cl}(\mathbb{Q}(\mu_p))$ is satisfied, we construct a $p$-adic analytic Galois extension of the infinite cyclotomic extension $\mathbb{Q}(\mu_{p^{\infty}})$…

Cyclic, ramified extensions $L/K$ of degree $p$ of local fields with residue characteristic $p$ are fairly well understood. Unless $\mbox{char}(K)=0$ and $L=K(\sqrt[p]{\pi_K})$ for some prime element $\pi_K\in K$, they are defined by an…

Let p be an odd prime, and k_\infty the cyclotomic Z_p-extension of an abelian field k. For a finite set S of rational primes which does not include p, we will consider the maximal S-ramified abelian pro-p extension M_S(k_\infty) over…

In this paper we present a classification of the possible upper ramification jumps for an elementary abelian p-extension of a p-adic field. The fundamental step for the proof of the main result is the computation of the ramification…

We estimate the fraction of isogeny classes of abelian varieties over a finite field which have a given characteristic polynomial P(T) modulo l. As an application we find the proportion of isogeny classes of abelian varieties with a…

We study the repartition of the roots of a random p-adic polynomial in an algebraic closure of Qp.We prove that the mean number of roots generating a fixed finite extension K of Qp depends mostly on the discriminant of K, an extension…

Let $p$ be a prime number and $K$ be a field with embeddings into $\mathbb{R}$ and $\mathbb{Q}_p$. We propose an algorithm that generates continued fraction expansions converging in $\mathbb{Q}_p$ and is expected to simultaneously converge…

For a given positive integer $n$ and $K/\mathbb{Q}_p$ a finite extension of ramification degree $e$, we determine the number of finite Galois extensions $L/K$ with inertia degree $f$ and a single nonnegative ramification jump at $n$ as long…

We axiomatize a class of existentially closed exponential fields equipped with an $E$-derivation. We apply our results to the field of real numbers endowed with $exp(x)$ the classical exponential function defined by its power series…

Let $p$ be an irregular prime. Let $K=\Q(\zeta)$ be the $p$-cyclotomic field. From Kummer and class field theory, there exist Galois extensions $S/\Q$ of degree $p(p-1)$ such that $S/K$ is a cyclic unramified extension of degree $[S:K]=p$.…

Building on work of J. Robinson and A. Shlapentokh, we develop a general framework to obtain definability and decidability results of large classes of infinite algebraic extensions of $\mathbb{F}_p(t)$. As an application, we show that for…

Fix a prime $p$. We prove that the set of sentences true in all but finitely many finite extensions of $\mathbb{Q}_p$ is undecidable in the language of valued fields with a cross-section. The proof goes via reduction to characteristic $p$,…
