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…
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…
We study Prym varieties of ramified (at precisely two points) double covers of smooth irreducible complex projectives curves that admit an automorphism of prime order $p>2$. Using Galois theory, we give an explicit constructions of Prym…
Let $K$ be a complete discretely valued field. An extension $L/K$ is "weakly totally ramified" if the residue extension is purely inseparable. We sharpen a result of Ax by showing that any Galois-invariant disk in the algebraic closure of…
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…
This paper is devoted to the explicit description of the Galois descent obstruction for hyperelliptic curves of arbitrary genus whose reduced automorphism group is cyclic of order coprime to the characteristic of their ground field. Along…
This article describes cubic function fields $L/K$ with prescribed ramification, where $K$ is a rational function field. We give general equations for such extensions, an explicit procedure to obtain a defining equation when the purely…
Information Theoretic analysis of the periods of a hyperelliptic curve provides more information about the well--known but abstract relationship between the branch points and the periods. Here one constructs a canonical homology basis for a…
Suppose $K$ is a finite field extension of $\mathbb{Q} _p$ containing a primitive $p$-th root of unity. Let $\Gamma _{<p}$ be the Galois group of a maximal $p$-extension of $K$ with the Galois group of period $p$ and nilpotent class $<p$.…
We establish arithmetic duality theorems for short complexes associated to reductive groups over $p$-adic function fields. Using dualities, we deduce obstructions to weak approximation for certain reductive groups (especially quasi-split…
We describe complex conjugation on the primitive middle-dimensional algebraic de Rham cohomology of a smooth projective hypersurface defined over a number field that admits a real embedding. We use Griffiths' description of the cohomology…
We define a period pairing for flat, irregular singular, rank one connections, satisfying a technical condition regarding its stationary set, on complex surfaces between de Rham cohomology of the connection and a modified singular homology,…
We introduce notions of unramified and totally ramified maps in great generality - for commutative rings, schemes, ring spectra, or derived schemes. We prove that the definition is equivalent to the classical definition in the case of rings…
In this paper we define a relative rigid fundamental group, which associates to a section $p$ of a smooth and proper morphism $f:X\rightarrow S$ in characteristic $p$, a Hopf algebra in the ind-category of overconvergent $F$-isocrystals on…
We employ methods from homotopy theory to define new obstructions to solutions of embedding problems. By using these novel obstructions we study embedding problems with non-solvable kernel. We apply these obstructions to study the…
In this paper, we investigate the possibility of constructing isomonodromic deformations of logarithmic connections on curves by using ramified covers. We give new examples and prove a classification result.
Let $\phi:\,X\rightarrow Y$ be a (possibly ramified) cover between two algebraic curves of positive genus. We develop tools that may identify the Prym variety of $\phi$, up to isogeny, as the Jacobian of a quotient curve $C$ in the Galois…
This is the first in a series of papers in which we construct and study a new $p$-adic cohomology theory for varieties over Laurent series fields $k(\!(t)\!)$ in characteristic $p$. This will be a version of rigid cohomology, taking values…
We propose topological Hochschild homology as a tool for measuring ramification of maps of structured ring spectra. We determine second order topological Hochschild homology of the $p$-local integers. For the tamely ramified extension of…
Let $p$ be a prime and let $\mathbb{Q}_p$ be the field of $p$-adic numbers. It is known that the finite extensions of $\mathbb{Q}_p$ of a given degree are finite up to isomorphism. Given a cubic field extension $L$ of $\mathbb{Q}_p$…
