Let G be a finite group and V a finite-dimensional rational G-representation. We ask whether there exists a finite Galois extension L/K of number fields with Galois group G, an elliptic curve E/K, and a G-submodule of E(L) tensor Q…
Let $K$ be a 2-dimensional global field of characteristic $\neq 2$, and let $V$ be a divisorial set of places of $K$. We show that for a given $n \geqslant 5$, the set of $K$-isomorphism classes of spinor groups $G = \mathrm{Spin}_n(q)$ of…
We give geometric descriptions of the category C_k(n,d) of rational polynomial representations of GL_n over a field k of degree d for d less than or equal to n, the Schur functor and Schur-Weyl duality. The descriptions and proofs use a…
Let $K/F$ be a finite Galois extension of fields with $Gal(K/F)=\Gamma$. In an earlier work of Timothy Kohl, the author enumerated dihedral Hopf-Galois structures acting on dihedral extensions. Dihedral group is one particular example of…
Infinitely many large Schur sigma-groups G with logarithmic order lo(G)=19+e, non-elementary bicyclic commutator quotient G/G' ~ C(3^e) x C(3), e >= 2, elevated rank distribution rho(G)=(3,3,3;3), punctured transfer kernel type kappa(G) ~…
For an algebraically closed field K, let G be a finite abelian group of K-linear automorphisms of a finite-dimensional path algebra KQ of a quiver Q. Under certain assumptions on the action of G, we show the existence of a certain kind of…
G. H\"ohn and G. Mason classified all finite groups acting faithfully and symplectically on a hyper-K{\"a}hler fourfolds of type K3$^{[2]}$. There are 15 maximal among them, call them $\widetilde{G}_1,\ldots, \widetilde{G}_{15}$. Every…
For a finite abelian 2-group $G$, we study the frequency with which quadratic imaginary number fields $K$ have 2-part of their class group $K$ isomorphic to $G$. A philosophy enunciated by Gerth extends the Cohen-Lenstra heuristics for…
This is an updated version of ANT-0253. Let F be a number field with absolute Galois group G. We associate, to each continuous, solvable C-representation of G of GO(4)-type, an automorphic form P of GL(4)/F with the same L-function. As a…
Let G be a linear algebraic group defined over a field k. We prove that, under mild assumptions on k and G, there exists a finite k-subgroup S of G such that the natural map H^1(K, S) -> H^1(K, G) is surjective for every field extension…
Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, $F$ be an algebraically closed extension of $k$ of transcendence degree one, and $G$ be the group of automorphisms over $k$ of the field $F$. The purpose of this note is to…
It is shown that the supersymmetry-preserving automorphisms of any non-linear sigma-model on K3 generate a subgroup of the Conway group Co_1. This is the stringy generalisation of the classical theorem, due to Mukai and Kondo, showing that…
Let $k$ be a global field, $K/k$ be a finite separable field extension and $L/k$ be the Galois closure of $K/k$ with Galois groups $G={\rm Gal}(L/k)$ and $H={\rm Gal}(L/K)\lneq G$. In 1931, Hasse proved that if $G$ is cyclic, then the Hasse…
Fix $k \geq 6$. We prove that any large enough finite group $G$ contains $k$ elements which span quadratically many triples of the form $(a,b,ab) \in S \times G$, given any dense set $S \subseteq G \times G$. The quadratic bound is…
We consider symmetries of K3 manifolds. Holomorphic symplectic automorphisms of K3 surfaces have been classified, and observed to be subgroups of the Mathieu group $M_{23}$. More recently, automorphisms of K3 sigma models commuting with…
Given a group $G$ and a number field $K$, the Grunwald problem asks whether given field extensions of completions of $K$ at finitely many places can be approximated by a single field extension of $K$ with Galois group G. This can be viewed…
Let l be an odd prime and K/k a Galois extension of totally real number fields with Galois group G such that K/k_\infty and k/Q are finite. We give a full description of the algebraic structure of the semisimple algebra QG=Quot(\Lambda G)…
Let $p$ be a prime. We prove that a positive solution to Efrat's Elementary Type Conjecture implies a positive solution to the strengthened version of Mina\v{c}--T\^an's Massey Vanishing Conjecture in the case of finitely generated maximal…
A conjecture of Amitsur states that two Severi-Brauer varieties are birationally isomorphic if and only if the underlying algebras are the same degree and generate the same cyclic subgroup of the Brauer group. It is known that generating…
In this paper we revisit the following inverse problem: given a curve invariant under an irreducible finite linear algebraic group, can we construct an ordinary linear differential equation whose Schwarz map parametrizes it? We present an…
