Let $K$ be a complete non-archimedean field with a discrete valuation, $f\in K[X]$ a polynomial with non-vanishing discriminant, $A$ the valuation ring of $K$, and $\M$ the maximal ideal of $A$. The first main result of this paper is a…

In this paper, we show that there exist families of curves (defined over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p >2$) whose Jacobians have interesting $p$-torsion. For example, for every $0 \leq f \leq g$, we find the…

Despite their simple definition as $\mathfrak{q}_p(b):=\frac{b^{p-1}-1}{p} \pmod p$, for $0\le b \le p^2-1$ and $\gcd(b,p)=1$, and their regular arrangement in a $p\times(p-1)$ Fermat quotient matrix $\mathtt{FQM}(p)$ of integers from…

For a prime $p$ and an integer $u$ with $\gcd(u,p)=1$, we define Fermat quotients by the conditions $$ q_p(u) \equiv \frac{u^{p-1} -1}{p} \pmod p, \qquad 0 \le q_p(u) \le p-1. $$ D. R. Heath-Brown has given a bound of exponential sums with…

We show that the existence of a non-trivial solution of $x^n+y^n=p^n$, with $p$ a prime number, is equivalent to the existence of a solution of a certain (over-determined) system of $(n-1)$-recursion relations ("zipper" equations) in…

We show that if F is the rational numbers or a multiquadratic number field, p is 2,3, or 5, and K/F is a Galois extension of degree a power of p, then for elliptic curves E/Q ordered by height, the average dimension of the p-Selmer groups…

We give a cyclotomic proof of the fact that the equation $\frac{x^p + y^p}{x+y} = p^e z^p$ has no solutions in coprime integers $x,y,z$ and $p > 3$, a prime. This implies in particular Fermat's Last Theorem.

Anderson introduced a $p$-adic version of soliton theory. He then applied it to the Jacobian variety of a cyclic quotient of a Fermat curve and showed that torsion points of certain prime order lay outside of the theta divisor. In this…

This article, complement to the article [Que], deals with some generalizations of Futw\"angler's theorems for the second case of Fermat's Last Theorem (FLT2). Let $p$ be an odd prime, $\zeta$ a $p$th primitive root of unity, $K:=\Q(\zeta)$…

For any abelian variety J over a global field k and an isogeny phi: J -> J, the Selmer group Sel^phi(J,k) is a subgroup of the Galois cohomology group H^1(Gal(ksep/k), J[phi]), defined in terms of local data. When J is the Jacobian of a…

Let $p$ be a prime number and let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$. A $BT_1$ group scheme over $k$ is a finite commutative group scheme which arises as the kernel of $p$ on a $p$-divisible (Barsotti--Tate) group.…

Let $p$ be an odd prime, let $N$ be a prime with $N \equiv 1 \pmod{p}$, and let $\zeta_p$ be a primitive $p$-th root of unity. We study the $p$-rank of the class group of $\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_p, N^{1/p})$ using Galois cohomological methods and…

Inspired by Weil's classical result on the zeta function of projective Fermat curve defined over a finite field, in this paper, we investigate some arithmetic properties of the cyclotomic matrix…

Based on ideas from recent joint work with Bjorn Poonen, we describe an algorithm that can in certain cases determine the set of rational points on a curve $C$, given only the $p$-Selmer group $S$ of its Jacobian (or some other abelian…

We study the rank of the $p$-Selmer group $Sel_p(A/k)$ of an abelian variety $A/k$, where $k$ is a function field. If $K/k$ is a quadratic extension and $F/k$ is a dihedral extension and the $\mathbb{Z}_p$-corank of $Sel_p (A/K)$ is odd, we…

Let K/k be an Abelian extension of number fields, S be a set of places of k, and p be an odd prime number. We continue an earlier investigation of the author into the values at zero of the S-imprimitive partial zeta functions of K/k. An…

Fix two distinct odd primes $p$ and $q$. We study "$p\ne q$" Iwasawa theory in two different settings. Let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field of class number 1 such that both $p$ and $q$ split in $K$. We show that under appropriate…

Primitive roots of 1 mod p^k (k>2 and odd prime p) are sought, in cyclic units group G_k = A_k B_k mod p^k, coprime to p, of order (p-1)p^{k-1}. 'Core' subgroup A_k has order p-1 independent of k, and p+1 generates 'extension' subgroup B_k…

Let $p$ be an irregular prime and $K=\Q(\zeta)$ the $p$-cyclotomic field. Let $\sigma$ be a $\Q$-isomorphism of $K$ generating $Gal(K/\Q)$. Let $S/K$ be a cyclic unramified extension of degree $p$, defined by $S= K(A^{1/p})$ where $A\in…

Let $p$ be an irregular prime. Let $K=\Q(\zeta)$ be the $p$-cyclotomic field. From Kummer and class field theory, there exist Galois extensions $S/\Q$ of degree $p(p-1)$ such that $S/K$ is a cyclic unramified extension of degree $[S:K]=p$.…
