A Galois scaffold, in a Galois extension of local fields with perfect residue fields, is an adaptation of the normal basis to the valuation of the extension field, and thus can be applied to answer questions of Galois module structure. Here…

In this paper, we develop an explicit method to express finite algebraic numbers (in particular, certain idempotents among them) in terms of linear recurrent sequences, and give applications to the characterization of the splitting primes…

Some aspects of Computer Algebra (notably Computation Group Theory and Computational Number Theory) have some good databases of examples, typically of the form "all the X up to size n". But most of the others, especially on the polynomial…

We describe several families of permutation polynomials obtained using functions with linear translators.

For every finite field F and every positive integer r, there exists a finite extension F' of F such that either SO(2r+1,F') or its simple derived group can be realized as a Galois group over Q. If the characteristic of F is 3 or 5 (mod 8),…

In this paper we discuss applications of our earlier work in studying certain Galois groups and splitting fields of rational functions in $\mathbb Q\left(X_0(N)\right)$ using Hilbert's irreducibility theorem and modular forms. We also…

We prove the existence of certain rationally rigid triples E8 in good characteristic and thereby show that these groups over the prime field occur as Galois groups over the field of rational numbers. We show that these triples give rise to…

We introduce and study a class of field extensions that we call pre-Galois; viz. extensions that become Galois after some linearly disjoint Galois base change. Among them are geometrically Galois extensions of k(T), with k a field:…

This paper deals with the Weak Inverse Galois Problem which, for a given field $k$, states that, for every finite group $G$, there exists a finite separable extension $L/k$ such that ${\rm{Aut}}(L/k)=G$. One of its goals is to explain how…

This paper extends Hopf-Galois theory to infinite field extensions and provides a natural definition of subextensions. For separable (possibly infinite) Hopf-Galois extensions, it provides a Galois correspondence. This correspondence also…

We say a tame Galois field extension $L/K$ with Galois group $G$ has trivial Galois module structure if the rings of integers have the property that $\Cal{O}_{L}$ is a free $\Cal{O}_{K}[G]$-module. The work of Greither, Replogle, Rubin, and…

I discuss a seemingly unlikely confluence of topics in algebra, numerical computation, and computer vision. The motivating problem is that of solving multiples instances of a parametric family of systems of algebraic (polynomial or rational…

We introduce a notion of algorithmic randomness for algebraic fields. We prove the existence of a continuum of algebraic extensions of $\mathbb{Q}$ that are random according to our definition. We show that there are noncomputable algebraic…

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) quality depends on many interacting choices across retrieval, ranking, augmentation, prompting, and generation, so optimizing modules in isolation is brittle. We introduce RAGSmith, a modular framework…

Motivated by developing algorithms that decide hypertranscendence of solutions of extensions of the Bessel differential equation, algorithms computing the unipotent radical of a parameterized differential Galois group have been recently…

In this article we present a new method to obtain polynomial lower bounds for Galois orbits of torsion points of one dimensional group varieties.

We establish several surjectivity theorems regarding the Galois groups of small iterates of $\phi_c(x)=x^2+c$ for $c\in\mathbb{Q}$. To do this, we use explicit techniques from the theory of rational points on curves, including the method of…

In this paper, we present methods to simplify reducible linear differential systems before solving. Classical integrals appear naturally as solutions of such systems. We will illustrate the methods developed in a previous paper on several…

We consider rational functions of the form $V(x)/U(x)$, where both $V(x)$ and $U(x)$ are polynomials over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. Polynomials that permute the elements of a field, called {\it permutation polynomials ($PPs$)}, have…

One of the main contributions which Volker Weispfenning made to mathematics is related to Groebner bases theory. In this paper we present an algorithm for computing all algebraic intermediate subfields in a separably generated unirational…
