We give a construction of the genus field for Kummer $\ell^n$-cyclic extensions of rational congruence function fields, where $\ell$ is a prime number. First, we compute the genus field of a field contained in a cyclotomic function field,…

In a remarkable article Ribet showed how to attach rational $2$-dimensional representations to elliptic ${\mathbb Q}$-curves. An abelian variety $A$ is a (weak) $K$-variety if it is isogenous to all of its $\text{Gal}_K$-conjugates. In this…

Let K/Q be a Galois extension of degree n, of Galois group G, and let $\eta\in K^\times$. For all large enough prime p, we define, by use of the Frobenius theorem on group determinants, the family $(\Delta_p^\theta(\eta) \in \F_p)_\theta$…

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:…

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…

Let l be an odd prime and K/k a Galois extension of totally real number fields with Galois group G such that K/k_\infty and k/Q are finite. We reduce the conjectured triviality of the reduced Whitehead group SK_1(QG) of the algebra…

We classify all division algebras that are principal Albert isotopes of a cyclic Galois field extension of degree $n>2$ up to isomorphisms. We achieve a ``tight'' classification when the cyclic Galois field extension is cubic. The…

This note presents Galois theory for finite fields. It was written as a handout for the MAT401 course ``Polynomial equations and fields'' taught at the University of Toronto in Spring 2026. We use without proofs some basic properties of…

We show that there are uncountably many algebraic extensions of $\mathbb{Q}$ containing at most finitely many moduli of CM simple principally polarized abelian varieties of any fixed dimension $g\geqslant1$, generalizing a result of…

Let $U/K$ be a smooth affine curve over a number field and let $L$ be an irreducible rank 3 $\overline{\mathbb Q}_{\ell}$-local system on $U$ with trivial determinant and infinite geometric monodromy around a cusp. Suppose further that $L$…

Let $U$ be a smooth affine curve over a number field $K$ with a compactification $X$ and let $\mathbb L$ be a rank $2$, geometrically irreducible $\bar{\mathbb Q}_\ell$-local system on $U$ with cyclotomic determinant that extends to an…

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 paper, we describe the Galois module structure of $J=\mathbf{K}^{\times}/\mathbf{K}^{\times p}$, where $\mathbf{K}$ is an extension of a local field $\mathbf{k}$ containing a primitive $p$-th root of unity: for instance, if…

Let $K$ be a global or local field, $E/K$ a Galois extension, and Br$(E)$ the Brauer group of $E$. This paper shows that if $K$ is a local field, $v$ is its natural discrete valuation, $v'$ is the valuation of $E$ extending $v$, and $q$ is…

Let F be an algebraically closed field with char(F) not equal to 2, let F/K be a Galois extension, and let X be a hyperelliptic curve defined over F. Let \iota be the hyperelliptic involution of X. We show that X can be defined over its…

Given an abelian algebraic group $A$ over a global field $F$, $\alpha \in A(F)$, and a prime $\ell$, the set of all preimages of $\alpha$ under some iterate of $[\ell]$ generates an extension of $F$ that contains all $\ell$-power torsion…

We give a complete answer to the analogue of Grothendieck conjecture on p-curvatures for q-difference equations defined over K(x), where K is any finitely generated extension of Q and q\in K can be either a transcendental or an algebraic…

We discuss the following conjecture of Kitaoka: if a finite subgroup $G$ of $GL_{n}(O_{K})$ is invariant under the action of $Gal(K/\Bbb Q)$ then it is contained in $GL_{n}(K^{ab})$. Here $O_{K}$ is the ring of integers in a finite, Galois…

We adapt a known technique for searching for ideal classes of arbitrary order and then apply it to three families of number fields. We show that a family of cyclic sextic number fields has infinitely many fields in it that contain a…

Let $K$ be a field, $L$ a finite Galois extension of $K$, and $X$ an abelian variety defined over $L$. If $X$ is isogenous over $L$ to an abelian variety defined over $K$, then the $\ell$-adic Galois representations associated to $X$ extend…
