Starting with a conformal Quantum Field Theory on the real line, we show that the dual net is still conformal with respect to a new representation of the Moebius group. We infer from this that every conformal net is normal and conormal,…

We determine the structure of the obstruction group of the Hasse norm principle for a finite separable extension $K/k$ of a global field of degree $d$, where $d$ has a square-free prime factor $p$ and a $p$-Sylow subgroup of the Galois…

This paper provides a unifying framework for a range of categorical constructions characterised by universal mapping properties, within the realm of compactifications of discrete structures. Some classic examples fit within this broad…

Let $G$ be a Frobenius group with an abelian Frobenius kernel $F$ and let $k$ be a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}$. We obtain an upper bound for the number of degree $|F|$ algebraic extensions $K/k$ with Galois group $G$ with the norm of…

Let $\mathfrak{X}$ be a class of finite groups closed under taking subgroups, homomorphic images and extensions. It is known that if $A$ is a normal subgroup of a finite group $G$ then the image of an $\mathfrak{X}$-maximal subgroup $H$ of…

This paper is devoted to the proof of a structural theorem, concerning certain homomorphic images of Artin braid group on $n$ strands in finite symmetric groups. It is shown that any one of these permutation groups is an extension of the…

Let $k$ be a totally real field, and let $A/k$ be an absolutely irreducible, polarized Abelian variety of odd, prime dimension whose endomorphisms are all defined over $k$. Then the only strictly compatible families of abstract, absolutely…

Let X be a proper smooth and connected surface over a finite field. We proved in [LLR2] that the order of the Brauer group Br(X) of X is a perfect square if it is finite. Our proof is based in part on a result of Gordon [Gor], which we used…

We show that the finiteness length of an $S$-arithmetic subgroup $\Gamma$ in a noncommutative isotropic absolutely almost simple group $G$ over a global function field is one less than the sum of the local ranks of $G$ taken over the places…

The present paper shows that if $q \in \mathbb P$ or $q = 0$, where $\mathbb P$ is the set of prime numbers, then there exist characteristic $q$ fields $E _{q,k}\colon \ k \in \mathbb N$, of Brauer dimension Brd$(E _{q,k}) = k$ and infinite…

Chevalley's theorem states that every smooth connected algebraic group over a perfect field is an extension of an abelian variety by a smooth connected affine group. That fails when the base field is not perfect. We define a pseudo-abelian…

We study the subgroup structure, Hecke algebras, quasi-regular representations, and asymptotic properties of some fractal groups of branch type. We introduce parabolic subgroups, show that they are weakly maximal, and that the corresponding…

We study the Brauer group of an abelian variety A over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p focusing on the p-primary torsion, the key part of which is a certain quasi-algebraic unipotent group U_A. We determine its dimension…

This paper contains a proof of a conjecture of Breuil and Schneider, on the existence of an invariant norm on any locally algebraic representation of $\GL(n)$, with integral central character, whose smooth part is given by a generalized…

Given a field $F$, an \'etale extension $L/F$ and an Azumaya algebra $A/L$, one knows that there are extensions $E/F$ such that $A \otimes_F E$ is a split algebra over $L \otimes_F E$. In this paper we bound the degree of a minimal…

For every natural number k we prove a decomposition theorem for bounded measurable functions on compact abelian groups into a structured part, a quasi random part and a small error term. In this theorem quasi randomness is measured with the…

The long standing Lech's conjecture in commutative algebra states that for a flat local extension $(R,\mathfrak{m})\to (S,\mathfrak{n})$ of Noetherian local rings, we have an inequality on the Hilbert--Samuel multiplicities: $e(R)\leq…

We examine the phenomenon of capitulation of the $p$-class group $H_K$ of a real number field $K$ in totally ramified cyclic p-extensions $L/K$ of degree $p^N$. Using an elementary property of the algebraic norm $\nu_{L/K}$, we show that…

We analyze the abstract representations of the groups of rational points of even-dimensional quasi-split special unitary groups associated with quadratic field extensions. We show that, under certain assumptions, such representations have a…
