We describe relations between maximal subfields in a division ring and in its rational extensions. More precisely, we prove that properties such as being Galois or purely inseparable over the centre generically carry over from one to…

In this note, we explore the notion of hyperbolicity of topologically finitely generated profinite groups. Some applications to diophantine geometry are suggested and we try to reformulate certain problems in diophantine geometry in terms…

We completely solve the inverse Galois problem for del Pezzo surfaces of degree $2$ and $3$ over all finite fields.

In this paper we prove that there are exactly eight function fields, up to isomorphism, over finite fields with class number one.

In the first paper of this sequence, we provided an explicit hypergeometric modularity method by combining different techniques from the classical, $p$-adic, and finite field settings. In this article, we explore an application of this…

We study systems of quadratic forms over fields and their isotropy over 2-extensions. We apply this to obtain particular splitting fields for quaternion algebras defined over a finite field extension. As a consequence, we obtain that every…

We give lower bounds on the number of effective divisors of degree $\leq g-1$ with respect to the number of places of certain degrees of an algebraic function field of genus $g$ defined over a finite field. We deduce lower bounds and…

We use Galois descent to construct central extensions of twisted forms of split simple Lie algebras over rings. These types of algebras arise naturally in the construction of Extended Affine Lie Algebras. The construction also gives…

We prove that infinite Galois extensions of number fields with Galois group of finite exponent have the Northcott property. The main novelty of our approach lies in the application of a theorem of Segal on profinite groups.

For many finite groups, the Inverse Galois Problem can be approached through modular/automorphic Galois representations. This is a report explaining the basic strategy, ideas and methods behind some recent results. It focusses mostly on the…

We develop general criteria that ensure that any non-zero solution of a given second-order difference equation is differentially transcendental, which apply uniformly in particular cases of interest, such as shift difference equations,…

We give a complete characterization of all Galois subfields of the generalized Giulietti--Korchm\'aros function fields $\mathcal C_n / \fqn$ for $n\ge 5$. Calculating the genera of the corresponding fixed fields, we find new additions to…

For polynomials of degree two over finite fields, we present an improvement of Fitzgerald's characterization (Finite Fields Appl. 9(1):117-121, 2003). We then use this new characterization to obtain an explicit, complete, and simple…

We prove a few uniform versions of the Mordell-Lang Conjecture and of the Shafarevich Conjecture for curves over function fields and their rational points. The main focus is on function fields having high transcendence degree over the…

Given a Hilbertian field $k$ and a finite set $\mathcal{S}$ of Krull valuations of $k$, we show that every finite split embedding problem $G \rightarrow {\rm{Gal}}(L/k)$ over $k$ with abelian kernel has a solu\-tion ${\rm{Gal}}(F/k)…

We prove that the function field of an algebraic variety of dimension greater than 1 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero is determined by its first and second Milnor K-groups.

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 study residually transcendental extensions of a valuation $v$ on a field $E$ to function fields of hyperelliptic curves over $E$. We show that $v$ has at most finitely many extensions to the function field of a hyperelliptic curve over…

We show that a closed finite index subgroup of a free proalgebraic group is itself a free proalgebraic group. Our main motivation for this result is an application in differential Galois theory: The absolute differential Galois group of a…

The aim of this paper is to show that there exists a deterministic algorithm that can be applied to compute the factors of a polynomial of degree 2, defined over a finite field, given certain conditions.
