A major open problem in current Galois theory is to characterize those profinite groups which appear as absolute Galois groups of various fields. Obtaining detailed knowledge of the structure of quotients and subgroup filtrations of Galois…

We determine the asymptotic growth of extensions of local function fields of characteristic p counted by discriminant, where the Galois group is a subgroup of the affine group AGL_1(p). More general, we solve the corresponding counting…

In this paper we give an elementary proof of results on the structure of 4-class groups of real quadratic number fields originally due to A. Scholz. In a second (and independent) section we strengthen C. Maire's result that the 2-class…

In this article, we focus on orders in arbitrary number fields, consider their Picard groups and finally obtain ring class fields corresponding to them. The Galois group of the ring class field is isomorphic to the Picard group. As an…
