Given an extension of number fields $E \subset F$ and a projective variety $X$ over $F$, we compare the problem of counting the number of rational points of bounded height on $X$ with that of its Weil restriction over $E$. In particular, we…
Bombieri and Zannier gave an effective construction of algebraic numbers of small height inside the maximal Galois extension of the rationals which is totally split at a given finite set of prime numbers. They proved, in particular, an…
This is the second in a pair of papers about residually reducible Galois deformation rings with non-optimal level. In the first paper, we proved a Galois-theoretic criterion for the deformation ring to be as small as possible. This paper…
Let $S$ be a Shimura variety and let $h$ be a Weil height function on $S$. We conjecture that the heights of special points in $S$ are discriminant negligible. Assuming this conjecture to be true, we prove that the sizes of the Galois…
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…
Each number field has an associated finite abelian group, the class group, that records certain properties of arithmetic within the ring of integers of the field. The class group is well-studied, yet also still mysterious. A central…
We generalize previous results about stable domination and residue field domination to henselian valued fields of equicharacteristic 0 with bounded Galois group, and we provide an alternate characterization of stable domination in…
For an elliptic curve defined over a number field, the absolute Galois group acts on the group of torsion points of the elliptic curve, giving rise to a Galois representation in $\mathrm{GL}_2(\hat{\mathbb{Z}})$. The obstructions to the…
For rank-two $A$-motives defined over local fields with odd characteristic, we give an analogue of a theorem of Imai stating that abelian varieties with good reduction over $p$-adic fields have only finitely many torsion points values in…
Let A be an abelian variety over a number field k. We show that weak approximation holds in the Weil-Ch\^atelet group of A/k but that it may fail when one restricts to the n-torsion subgroup. This failure is however relatively mild; we show…
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…
Ramification invariants are necessary, but not in general sufficient, to determine the Galois module structure of ideals in local number field extensions. This insufficiency is associated with elementary abelian extensions, where one can…
We investigate class field towers of number fields obtained as fixed fields of modular representations of the absolute Galois group of the rational numbers. First, for each $k\in\{12,16,18,20,22,26\}$, we give explicit rational primes $\l$…
We investigate the "ramified descent problem": which adelic points of a smooth geometrically connected variety $X$ defined over a number field $K$ can be approximated by points that lift to a (twist of a) given ramified cover? We show that…
We prove that function fields of varieties of dimension at least two over an algebraic closure of a finite field are determined, modulo purely inseparable extensions, by the quotient by the second term in the lower central series of their…
We study the arithmetic aspects of the finite group of extensions of abelian varieties defined over a number field. In particular, we establish relations with special values of L-functions and congruences between modular forms.
We give a criterion for two l-adic Galois representations of an algebraic number field to be isomorphic when restricted to a decomposition group, in terms of the global representations mod l. This is applied to prove a generalization of a…
We count certain abelian surfaces with potential quaternionic multiplication defined over a number field $K$ by counting points of bounded height on some genus zero Shimura curves.
We investigate the large values of class numbers of cubic fields, showing that one can find arbitrary long sequences of "close" abelian cubic number fields with class numbers as large as possible. We also give a first step toward an…
Let $A$ be an abelian variety defined over a number field $K$, the number of torsion points rational over a finite extension $L$ is bounded polynomially in terms of the degree $[L:K]$. When $A$ is isogenous to a product of simple abelian…
