Let $G$ be an algebraic group, $X$ a generically free $G$-variety, and $K=k(X)^G$. A field extension $L$ of $K$ is called a splitting field of $X$ if the image of the class of $X$ under the natural map $H^1(K, G) \mapsto H^1(L, G)$ is…
Let $G$ be a finite group. Then there exists a first-order statement $S(G)$ in the language of rings without parameters and depending only on $G$ such that, for any field $K$, we have that $K\models S(G)$ if and only if $K$ has a Galois…
Let k be a field of characteristic 2 and let L/k be a finite Galois extension with Galois group G. We show the equivalence of the following two properties: (*) The group G is generated by elements of order 2 and by elements of odd order.…

This paper develops from scratch a theory of Galois rings and orders over arbitrary fields. Our approach is different from others in the literature in that there is no non-modularity assumption. We prove, when the field is algebraically…
In this paper, we study the fine Selmer groups attached to a Galois module defined over a commutative complete Noetherian ring with finite residue field of characteristic p. Namely, we are interested in its properties upon taking residual…
For a Galois extension $K/F$ with $\text{char}(K)\neq 2$ and $\text{Gal}(K/F) \simeq \mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}\oplus\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$, we determine the $\mathbb{F}_2[\text{Gal}(K/F)]$-module structure of $K^\times/K^{\times 2}$. Although…
We call a (q-1)-th Kummer extension of a cyclotomic function field a quasi-cyclotomic function field if it is Galois, but non-abelian, over the rational function field with the constant field of q elements. In this paper, we determine the…
The Steinitz class of a number field extension K/k is an ideal class in the ring of integers O_k of k, which, together with the degree [K:k] of the extension determines the O_k-module structure of O_K. We call rt(k,G) the classes which are…
Let $L/K$ be a finite Galois extension of fields with group $\Gamma$. When $\Gamma$ is nilpotent, we show that the problem of enumerating all nilpotent Hopf-Galois structures on $L/K$ can be reduced to the corresponding problem for the…
The Steinitz class of a number field extension K/k is an ideal class in the ring of integers O_k of k, which, together with the degree [K:k] of the extension determines the O_k-module structure of O_K. We call R_t(k,G) the classes which are…
We show that trivial extensions of gentle tree algebras are exactly Brauer tree algebras without exceptional vertex. We also give a characterization for the algebras whose trivial extensions are Brauer line/star/cycle algebras. As a…
In cyclic, degree 8 extensions of algebraic number fields $N/K$, ambiguous ideals in N are canonical $\mathbb{Z}[C_8]$-modules. Their $\mathbb{Z}[C_8]$-structure is determined here. It is described in terms of indecomposable modules and…

Let $G$ be a finite group and let $N/E$ be a tamely ramified $G$-Galois extension of number fields. We show how Stickelberger's factorization of Gauss sums can be used to determine the stable isomorphism class of various arithmetic…
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:…
Let $K$ be a local field of characteristic $p$ and let $L/K$ be a totally ramified Galois extension such that Gal$(L/K)\cong C_{p^n}$. In this paper we find sufficient conditions for $L/K$ to admit a Galois scaffold. This leads to…
The power classes of a field are well-known for their ability to parameterize elementary $p$-abelian Galois extensions. These classical objects have recently been reexamined through the lens of their Galois module structure. Module…
A Hopf Galois structure on a finite field extension $L/K$ is a pair $(\mathcal{H},\mu)$, where $\mathcal{H}$ is a finite cocommutative $K$-Hopf algebra and $\mu$ a Hopf action. In this paper, we present several results on Hopf Galois…
