Given a Galois cover of curves $f$ over a field of characteristic $p$, the lifting problem asks whether there exists a Galois cover over a complete mixed characteristic discrete valuation ring whose reduction is $f$. In this paper, we…

Recently, much work has been done to investigate Galois module structure of local field extensions, particularly through the use of Galois scaffolds. Given a totally ramified $p$-extension of local fields $L/K$, a Galois Scaffold gives us a…

Using methods coming from non-formal equivariant quantization, we construct in this short note a unitary dual 2-cocycle on a discrete family of quotient groups of subgroups of the affine group of a local field (which is not of…

We are considering iterative derivations on the function field L of abelian schemes in positive characteristic p>0, and give conditions when the torsion group schemes of this abelian scheme occur as ID-automorphism groups, i.e. are the…

This paper studies Galois extensions over real quadratic number fields or cyclotomic number fields ramified only at one prime. In both cases, the ray class groups are computed, and they give restrictions on the finite groups that can occur…

Let $G\subset x{\mathbb F}_q[\![x]\!]$ ($q$ is a power of the prime $p$) be a subset of formal power series over a finite field such that it forms a compact abelian $p$-adic Lie group of dimension $d\ge 1$. We establish a necessary and…

For fields F of characteristic not p containing a primitive $p$th root of unity, we determine the Galois module structure of the group of $p$th-power classes of K for all cyclic extensions K/F of degree p.

We study the ramification groups of finite Galois extensions $L/K$ of a complete discrete valuation field $K$ of equal characteristic $p>0$ with perfect residue field and Galois group isomorphic to the group of unitriangular matrices…

We investigate the rank gain of elliptic curves, and more generally, Jacobian varieties, over non-Galois extensions whose Galois closure has Galois group permutation-isomorphic to a prescribed group $G$ (in short, "$G$-extensions"). In…

A theorem of Paul Roberts states that the integral closure of a regular local ring in a generically abelian extension is Cohen-Macaulay, provided the characteristic of the residue field does not divide the order of the Galois group. An…

Let $L/K$ be a finite Galois extension of local or global fields in characteristic $0$ or $p$ with nonabelian Galois group $G$, and let ${\mathfrak B}$ be a $G$-stable fractional ideal of $L$. We show that ${\mathfrak B}$ is free over its…

The smallest non-abelian p-groups play a fundamental role in the theory of Galois p-extensions. We illustrate this by highlighting their role in the definition of the norm residue map in Galois cohomology. We then determine how often these…

We investigate the rate of growth of the function of n which counts the number of complex irreducible representations of a fixed group of degree less than or equal to n. The emphasis is on linear groups, especially compact real and p-adic…

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…

We study Galois extensions Coinv(M)<M for M an H-comodule algebra and H a Frobenius Hopf algebroid. We obtain generalizations of various theorems in Hopf-Galois theory by Kreimer-Takeuchi, Doi-Takeuchi and Cohen-Fischman-Montgomery. An…

Let $k$ be a number field. We provide an asymptotic formula for the number of Galois extensions of $k$ with absolute discriminant bounded by some $X \geq 1$, as $X\to\infty$. We also provide an asymptotic formula for the closely related…

In this paper local polynomials on Abelian groups are characterized by a "local" Fr\'echet-type functional equation. We apply our result to generalize Montel's Theorem and to obtain Montel-type theorems on commutative groups.

Let $p$ be an odd prime, $F$ be a number field and consider a uniform infinite pro-$p$ extension $F_\infty$ of $F$ with Galois group $G=Gal(F_\infty/F)$. Let \[G=G_0\supset G_1\supset\dots \supset G_n\supset G_{n+1}\supset \dots\] be the…

It is known, that for every elliptic curve over Q there exists a quadratic extension in which the rank does not go up. For a large class of elliptic curves, the same is known with the rank replaced by the 2-Selmer group. We show, however,…

Let $K$ be a number field and $k\geq 2$ be an integer. Let $(n_1,n_2, \dots, n_k)$ be a vector with entries $n_i\in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 2}$. Given a number field extension $L/K$, we denote by $\widetilde{L}$ the Galois closure of $L$ over $K$.…
