We study average $2$-torsion in the class group of monogenised fields of odd degree. Bhargava-Hanke-Shankar have recently shown that the average number of non-trivial $2$-torsion elements in the class group of monogenised cubic fields of a…

Given any family of cubic fields defined by local conditions at finitely many primes, we determine the mean number of 2-torsion elements in the class groups and narrow class groups of these cubic fields when ordered by their absolute…

We study the distribution of $2$-torsion in class groups and narrow class groups of cubic fields and cubic orders subject to prescribed shape conditions. The \emph{shape} of a cubic order in a number field is a natural geometric invariant…

We determine the mean number of 2-torsion elements in class groups of cubic orders, when such orders are enumerated by discriminant. Specifically, we prove that when isomorphism classes of totally real (resp., complex) cubic orders are…

We prove that when totally real (resp., complex) monogenized cubic number fields are ordered by height, the second moment of the size of the $2$-class group is at most $3$ (resp., at most $6$). In the totally real case, we further prove…

We determine the average number of $3$-torsion elements in the ray class groups of fixed (integral) conductor $c$ of quadratic fields ordered by absolute discriminant, generalizing Davenport and Heilbronn's theorem on class groups. A…

In 1801, Gauss proved that there were infinitely many quadratic fields with odd class number. We generalise this result by showing that there are infinitely many $S_n$-fields of any given even degree and signature that have odd class…

We give a new geometric description of when an element of the class group of a quadratic field, thought of as a quadratic form $q$, is $n$-torsion. We show that $q$ corresponds to an $n$-torsion element if and only if there exists a degree…

We observe that a lemma used in the study of even sets of nodes on surfaces applies almost verbatim to prove a celebrated formula of Gauss on the 2-torsion of the class group of a quadratic field.

We prove a generalization of a result of Bhargava regarding the average size $\mathrm{Cl}(K)[2]$ as $K$ varies among cubic fields. For a fixed set of rational primes $S$, we obtain a formula for the average size of $\mathrm{Cl}(K)/\langle S…

We prove that approximately $96.23\%$ of cubic fields, ordered by discriminant, have genus number one, and we compute the exact proportion of cubic fields with a given genus number. We also compute the average genus number. Finally, we show…

Let G be a 2-group of order 2^n, n>5, and nilpotency class n-2. The invariants of such groups determined by their group algebras over the field of two elements are given in the paper.

We show that infinitely many cubic fields have class group of 2-rank 1.

We prove the congruence subgroup property for the centralizer of a finite subgroup $G$ in the mapping class group of a hyperbolic oriented and connected surface of finite topological type $S$ such that the genus of the quotient surface…

We introduce $n$-fold torsion(-free) classes of an abelian category. These are a generalization of ordinary torsion(-free) classes in the sense that $1$-fold torsion(-free) classes coincide with torsion(-free) classes. In the category of…

In this paper we describe a homotopy torsion theory in the category of small symmetric monoidal categories. Thanks to the use of natural isomorphisms as basis for the nullhomotopy structure, this homotopy torsion theory enjoys some…

We determine the average size of the 3-torsion in class groups of $G$-extensions of a number field when $G$ is any transitive $2$-group containing a transposition, for example $D_4$. It follows from the Cohen--Lenstra--Martinet heuristics…

We establish an explicit upper bound B(p,l,m), depending on p,l,m, on the number of conjugacy classes of order p^2 torsion elements u of type <l,m> of the Nottingham group defined over the prime field of characteristic p >0. In the cases…

We show that a positive proportion of cubic fields are not monogenic, despite having no local obstruction to being monogenic. Our proof involves the comparison of $2$-descent and $3$-descent in a certain family of Mordell curves $E_k \colon…

We show that the mapping class group of a handlebody of genus at least 2 (with any number of marked points or spots) is exponentially distorted in the mapping class group of its boundary surface. The same holds true for solid tori with at…
