We define invariants $\operatorname{inv}_1,\dots,\operatorname{inv}_m$ of Galois extensions of number fields with a fixed Galois group. Then, we propose a heuristic in the spirit of Malle's conjecture which asymptotically predicts the…

We disprove a strong form of the Regular Inverse Galois Problem: there exist finite groups $G$ which do not have a realization $F/\Qq(T)$ that induces all Galois extensions $L/\Qq(U)$ of group $G$ by specializing $T$ to $f(U) \in \Qq(U)$.…

Let $n \geq 6$ be an integer. We prove that the number of number fields with Galois group $A_n$ and absolute discriminant at most $X$ is asymptotically at least $X^{1/8 + O(1/n)}$. For $n \geq 8$ this improves upon the previously best known…

Given a number field $K$, a finite abelian group $G$ and finitely many elements $\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_t\in K$, we construct abelian extensions $L/K$ with Galois group $G$ that realise all of the elements $\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_t$ as…

By applying interpretable machine learning methods such as decision trees, we study how simple models can classify the Galois groups of Galois extensions over $\mathbb{Q}$ of degrees 4, 6, 8, 9, and 10, using Dedekind zeta coefficients. Our…

For various nonsolvable groups $G$, we prove the existence of extensions of the rationals $\mathbb{Q}$ with Galois group $G$ and inertia groups of order dividing $ge(G)$, where $ge(G)$ is the smallest exponent of a generating set for $G$.…

Let $p$ be an odd prime number. We study growth patterns associated with finitely ramified Galois groups considered over the various number fields varying in a $\mathbb{Z}_p$-tower. These Galois groups can be considered as non-commutative…

We give an exact formula for the number of $G$-extensions of local function fields $\mathbb{F}_q((t))$ for finite abelian groups $G$ up to a conductor bound. As an application we give a lower bound for the corresponding counting problem by…

Given a Dirichlet series $L(s) = \sum a_n n^{-s}$, the asymptotic growth rate of $\sum_{n\le X} a_n$ can be determined by a Tauberian theorem. Bounds on the error term are typically controlled by the size of $|L(\sigma+it)|$ for fixed real…

Let $N_d(G,X)$ denote the number of degree $d$ extensions of $\mathbb{Q}$ with Galois closure $G$ and $|\Delta_K|\leq X$. Malle's conjecture predicts an asymptotic of the form $N_d(G,X)\sim CX^{\alpha}(\log X)^\beta$. Previously, Kl\"uners…

Given a $p$-adic field $K$ and a prime number $\ell$, we count the total number of the isomorphism classes of $p^\ell$-extensions of $K$ having no intermediate fields. Moreover for each group that can appear as Galois group of the normal…

Let $L/K$ be a Galois extension of number fields. We prove two lower bounds on the maximum of the degrees of the irreducible complex representations of ${\rm Gal}(L/K)$, the sharper of which is conditional on the Artin Conjecture and the…

Motivated by the work of Liu, we study certain canonical quotients of $G_{\emptyset}^T(K)$ -- the Galois group of the maximal unramified extension of a global field $K$ that is split completely at a finite nonempty set of places in $T$ --…

A folklore conjecture asserts the existence of a constant $c_n > 0$ such that $\#\mathcal{F}_n(X) \sim c_n X$ as $X\to \infty$, where $\mathcal{F}_n(X)$ is the set of degree $n$ extensions $K/\mathbb{Q}$ with discriminant bounded by $X$.…

A conjecture of Malle predicts the quantity of number fields with bounded discriminant of given Galois group. We present a lower bound matching this in the case of quartic fields with Galois group $A_4$.

We study the quantitative behaviour of genus numbers of abelian extensions of number fields with given Galois group. We prove an asymptotic formula for the average value of the genus number and show that any given genus number appears only…

We give a detailed proof of Kolchin's results on differential Galois groups of strongly normal extensions, in the case where the field of constants is not necessarily algebraically closed. We closely follow former works due to Pillay and…

In this paper, we use inductive methods similar to those employed in a 2025 paper by Alberts, Lemke Oliver, Wang and Wood in order to prove many new cases of the Twisted Malle's Conjecture. Previously, this conjecture had only been proven…

Let $G$ be a finite abelian $p$-group. We count \'etale $G$-extensions of global rational function fields $\mathbb F_q(T)$ of characteristic $p$ by the degree of what we call their Artin-Schreier conductor. The corresponding (ordinary)…

Let L/K be a finite Galois extension of number fields with Galois group G. Let p be a rational prime and let r be a non-positive integer. By examining the structure of the p-adic group ring Z_p[G], we prove many new cases of the p-part of…
