We study the growth of the Galois invariants of the $p$-Selmer group of an elliptic curve in a degree $p$ Galois extension. We show that this growth is determined by certain local cohomology groups and determine necessary and sufficient…

Let $K$ be a number field, $A/K$ be an absolutely simple abelian variety of CM type, and $\ell$ be a prime number. We give explicit bounds on the degree over $K$ of the division fields $K(A[\ell^n])$, and when $A$ is an elliptic curve we…

We describe a generalization of the large sieve to situations where the underlying groups are nonabelian, and give several applications to the arithmetic of abelian varieties. In our applications, we sieve the set of primes via the system…

Let G be a finitely presented group, and let {G_i} be a collection of finite index normal subgroups that is closed under intersections. Then, we prove that at least one of the following must hold: 1. G_i is an amalgamated free product or…

We study the growth of the rank of elliptic curves and, more generally, Abelian varieties upon extensions of number fields. First, we show that if $L/K$ is a finite Galois extension of number fields such that $\Gal(L/K)$ does not have an…

We construct an explicit generating sets $F_n$ and $\tilde F_n$ of the alternating and the symmetric groups, which make the Cayley graphs $C(Alt(n), F_n)$ and $C(Sym(n), \tilde F_n)$ a family of bounded degree expanders for all sufficiently…

Consider the undirected graph $G_n=(V_n, E_n)$ where $V_n = (Z/nZ)^2$ and $E_n$ contains an edge from $(x,y)$ to $(x+1,y)$, $(x,y+1)$, $(x+y,y)$, and $(x,y+x)$ for every $(x,y) \in V_n$. Gabber and Galil, following Margulis, gave an…

We prove a general large sieve statement in the context of random walks on subgraphs of a given graph. This can be seen as a generalization of previously known results where one performs a random walk on a group enjoying a strong spectral…

We study the geometry of warped cones over free, minimal isometric group actions and related constructions of expander graphs. We prove a rigidity theorem for the coarse geometry of such warped cones: Namely, if a group has no abelian…

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…

Let k be an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic,let K/k be a finitely generated field extension and let X be a separated scheme of finite type over K. For each prime ell, the absolute Galois group of K acts on the…

It is known, that for every elliptic curve over Q there exists a quadratic extension in which the rank does not go up. For a large class of elliptic curves, the same is known with the rank replaced by the 2-Selmer group. We show, however,…

We study the problem of existence of one-parameter, linear families of polynomials of degree n all of whose polynomials have Galois group A_n. The methods we use have a strong geometric flavour.

Let A be an abelian variety defined over a number field k and F a finite Galois extension of k. Let p be a prime number. Then under certain not-too-stringent conditions on A and F we investigate the explicit Galois structure of the…

This survey is about Galois theory of curves in characteristic p, a topic which has inspired major research in algebraic geometry and number theory and which contains many open questions. We illustrate important phenomena which occur for…

A new algebraic Cayley graph is constructed using finite fields. Its connectedness and diameter bound are studied via Weil's estimate for character sums. These graphs provide a new source of expander graphs, extending classical results of…

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…

This note provides an insight to the diophantine properties of abelian surfaces with quaternionic multiplication over number fields. We study the fields of definition of the endomorphisms on these abelian varieties and the images of the…

For a variety over a global field, one can consider subsets of the set of adelic points of the variety cut out by finite abelian descent or Brauer-Manin obstructions. Given a Galois extension of the ground field one can consider similar…

A self-contained exposition is given of the topological and Galois-theoretic properties of the category of combinatorial 1-complexes, or graphs, very much in the spirit of Stallings. A number of classical, as well as some new results about…
