Let X be a smooth variety over a field k, and l be a prime number invertible in k. We study the (\'etale) unramified H^3 of X with coefficients Q_l/Z_l(2) in the style of Colliot-Th\'el\`ene and Voisin. If k is separably closed, finite or…

The {\it defect} (also called {\it ramification deficiency}) of valued field extensions is a major stumbling block in deep open problems of valuation theory in positive characteristic. For a detailed analysis, we define and investigate two…

We show that for an associative algebra A and its ideal I such that the I-adic topology on A coincides with the p-adic topology, the relative continuous K-theory pro-spectrum "lim"K(A_i, IA_i), where A_i :=A/p^i A, is naturally isogenous to…

We extend the theory of Kisin modules and crystalline representations to allow more general coefficient fields and lifts of Frobenius. In particular, for a finite and totally ramified extension $F/\mathbb Q_p$, and an arbitrary finite…

Let $\zeta(s,C)$ be the partial zeta function attached to a ray class C of a real quadratic field. We study this zeta function at s=1 and s=0, combining some ideas and methods due to Zagier and Shintani. The main results are (1) a…

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 study the algebraic $K$-theory of smooth schemes over $W_n(\Bbbk)$, where $\Bbbk$ is a perfect field of characteristic $p>0$. For a $p$-adic smooth scheme $X_{\centerdot}$ over $W_{\centerdot}(k)$, we introduce complexes…

Let $A$ be a finite-dimensional $k$-algebra and $K/k$ be a finite separable field extension. We prove that $A$ is derived equivalent to a hereditary algebra if and only if so is $A\otimes_kK$.

Let $K$ be an absolutely unramified $p$-adic field. We establish a ramification bound, depending only on the given prime $p$ and an integer $i$, for mod $p$ Galois representations associated with Wach modules of height at most $i$. Using an…

The theory of p-ramification, regarding the Galois group of the maximal pro-p-extension of a number field K, unramified outside p and $\infty$, is well known including numerical experiments with PARI/GP programs. The case of ``incomplete…

We show finiteness results on torsion points of commutative algebraic groups over a $p$-adic field $K$ with values in various algebraic extensions $L/K$ of infinite degree. We mainly study the following cases: (1) $L$ is an abelian…

Let $v$ be a finite place of a number field $K$ and write $K^{nr,v}$ for the maximal field extension of $K$ in which $v$ is unramified. The purpose of this paper is split up into two parts. The first one generalizes a theorem of Pottmeyer:…

For an algebraic Hecke character defined on a CM field $F$ of degree $2d$, Katz constructed a $p$-adic $L$-function of $d+1+\delta_{F,p}$ variables in his innovative paper published in 1978, where $\delta_{F,p}$ denotes the Leopoldt defect…

We develop the theory of ``branch algebras'', which are infinite-dimensional associative algebras that are isomorphic, up to taking subrings of finite codimension, to a matrix ring over themselves. The main examples come from groups acting…
