We prove that an algebraic group over a field $k$is affine precisely when its Picard group is torsion, and show that in this case the Picard group is finite when $k$ is perfect, and the product of a finite group of order prime to $p$ and a…

Let $p$ be an odd prime and $F_{\infty}$ a $p$-adic Lie extension of a number field $F$ with Galois group $G$. Suppose that $G$ is a compact pro-$p$ $p$-adic Lie group with no torsion and that it contains a closed normal subgroup $H$ such…

Let $f$ be a continuous ring endomorphism of $\mathbf{Z}_p[[x]]/\mathbf{Z}_p$ of degree $p.$ We prove that if $f$ acts on the tangent space at $0$ by a uniformizer and commutes with an automorphism of infinite order, then it is necessarily…

Let T be a free Z_p-module of finite rank equipped with a continuous Z_p-linear action of the absolute Galois group of a number field K satisfying certain conditions. In this article, by using a Selmer group corresponding to T, we give a…

We prove an integral R = T theorem for odd two dimensional p-adic representations of the absolute Galois group which are unramified at p, extending results of [CG] to the non-minimal case. We prove, for any p, the existence of Katz modular…

Let $K/k$ be a finite Galois extension and $\pi = \fn{Gal}(K/k)$. An algebraic torus $T$ defined over $k$ is called a $\pi$-torus if $T\times_{\fn{Spec}(k)} \fn{Spec}(K)\simeq \bm{G}_{m,K}^n$ for some integer $n$. The set of all algebraic…

In this paper we study the universal lifting spaces of local Galois representations valued in arbitrary reductive group schemes when $\ell \neq p$. In particular, under certain technical conditions applicable to any root datum we construct…

Let k be a perfect field of characteristic p and let $W_n(k)$ denote the p-typical Witt vectors of length n. For example, $W_n(\mathbb{F}_p)=\mathbb{Z}/p^n$. We study the algebraic K-theory of $W_n(k)$, and prove that $K(W_n(k))$ satisfies…

The power classes of a field are well-known for their ability to parameterize elementary $p$-abelian Galois extensions. These classical objects have recently been reexamined through the lens of their Galois module structure. Module…
