This paper develops a chiral adelic operator framework in which the functional--equation symmetry of global $L$--functions is realized directly in the spectrum of a Dirac--type Hamiltonian. Working on the id\`ele class space, we place a…

This paper explores the interplay between category theory, topology, and the algebraic theory of finite groups. Our analysis unfolds in three stages. First, we establish the foundational universe of our objects: the complete and cocomplete…

We introduce an abstract topos-theoretic framework for building Galois-type theories in a variety of different mathematical contexts; such theories are obtained from representations of certain atomic two-valued toposes as toposes of…

Let $X$ be a normal proper variety over a perfect field $k$. We describe abelian coverings of X in terms of the functor $\underline{\rm HDiv}_X$ of principal relative Cartier divisors on $X$. If the base field $k$ is finite, the geometric…

Abelian Chern-Simons theory relates classical theta functions to the topological quantum field theory of the linking number of knots. In this paper we explain how to derive the constructs of abelian Chern-Simons theory directly from the…

Let L/k be a finite Galois extension of number fields with Galois group G. For every odd prime p satisfying certain mild technical hypotheses, we use values of Artin L-functions to construct an element in the centre of the group ring…

Field Arithmetic studies the interplay between arithmetical properties of fields and their absolute Galois groups. Here we studies fields satisfying local global principles for rational points of varieties and profinite groups satisfying…

Let $p$ be a prime number. In this article we present a theorem, suggested by Peter Scholze, which states that the absolute Galois group of $\mathbf{Q}_p$ is the \'etale fundamental group of a certain object $Z$ which is defined over an…

We show that the basic categorical concept of an S-algebra as derived from the theory of Segal's Gamma-sets provides a unifying description of several constructions attempting to model an algebraic geometry over the absolute point. It…

In the first part of this paper, we develop a general framework that permits a comparison between explicit class field theories for a family of rational function fields $\mathbb{F}_s(t)$ over arbitrary constant fields $\mathbb{F}_s$ and…

In this paper, we develop the main step in the global theory for the mod-$\ell$ analogue of Bogomolov's program in birational anabelian geometry for higher-dimensional function fields over algebraically closed fields. More precisely, we…

We present possible extensions of the quantum statistical mechanical formulation of class field theory to the non-abelian case, based on the action of the absolute Galois group on Grothendieck's dessins d'enfant, the embedding in the…

Using the Penner--Fock parameterization for Teichmuller spaces of Riemann surfaces with holes, we construct the string-like free-field representation of the Poisson and quantum algebras of geodesic functions in the continuous-genus limit.…

We classify all cubic function fields over any finite field, particularly developing a complete Galois theory which includes those cases when the constant field is missing certain roots of unity. In doing so, we find criteria which allow…

Recently, a geometrical characterization of vector spaces served to generalize them into a new class of algebras. Instead of the algebraic properties of the underlying fields, we generalized the recently discovered property of such spaces…

Our goal is to give a purely algebraic characterization of finite abelian Galois covers of a complete, irreducible, non-singular curve $X$ over an algebraically closed field $\k$. To achieve this, we make use of the Galois theory of…

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…

Following a paper by Athanasios Angelakis and Peter Stevenhagen on the determination of imaginary quadratic fields having the same absolute Abelian Galois group A, we study this property for arbitrary number fields. We show that such a…

Let k be an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic,let K/k be a finitely generated field extension and let X be a separated scheme of finite type over K. For each prime ell, the absolute Galois group of K acts on the…
