We consider invariants of a finite group related to the number of random (independent, uniformly distributed) conjugacy classes which are required to generate it. These invariants are intuitively related to problems of Galois theory. We…
The goal of this paper is to remove the irreducibility hypothesis in a theorem of Richard Taylor describing the image of complex conjugations by $p$-adic Galois representations associated with regular, algebraic, essentially self-dual,…
Let C be an algebraically closed field and X a projective curve over C. Consider an ordinary linear differential equation, or a linear differ- ence equation, with coefficients in the field of rational functions of X, and assume that its…
Real forms of a complex reductive group are classified in terms of Galois cohomology $H^1(\Gamma,G_{ad})$ where $G_{ad}$ is the adjoint group. Alternatively, the theory of the Cartan involution gives a description in terms of cohomology…
We study the interplay between the differential Galois group and the Lie algebra of infinitesimal symmetries of systems of linear differential equations. We show that some symmetries can be seen as solutions of a hierarchy of linear…
We study the inverse problem in the difference Galois theory of linear differential equations over the difference-differential field $\mathbb{C}(x)$ with derivation $\frac{d}{dx}$ and endomorphism $f(x)\mapsto f(x+1)$. Our main result is…
A fundamental theorem of Katz \cite{Katz87} determines the differential Galois groups of rank $n$ connections on algebraic curves with slope $r/n$ at a singularity, where $\gcd(r,n)=1$. We extend this result to $G$-connections, where $G$ is…
This article is a survey of conjectures and results on reductive algebraic groups having good reduction at a suitable set of discrete valuations of the base field. Until recently, this subject has received relatively little attention, but…
This note is a development of our two previous papers, arXiv:1212.3392v1 and 1306.3660v1. The fundamental question is whether there exists a Galois theory, in which the Galois group is a quantum group. For a linear equations with respect to…
If we consider a q-analogue of linear differential equation, Galoois group of the q-analogue difference equation is still a linear algebraic group. Namely, by a quantization of linear differential equation, Galois group is not quantized. We…
We consider three isogeny invariants of abelian varieties over finite fields: the Galois group, Newton polygon, and the angle rank. Motivated by work of Dupuy, Kedlaya, and Zureick-Brown, we define a new invariant called the weighted…
Let $V=\oC^n$ and let $T:=T(V)\otimes T(V^*)$ be the mixed tensor algebra over $V$. We characterize those subsets $A$ of $T$ for which there is a subgroup $G$ of the unitary group $\UU(n)$ such that $A=T^G$. They are precisely the…
The goal of invariant theory is to find all the generators for the algebra of representations of a group that leave the group invariant. Such generators will be called \emph{basic invariants}. In particular, we set out to find the set of…
We present a Galois theory of difference equations designed to measure the differential dependencies among solutions of linear difference equations. With this we are able to reprove Hoelder's Theorem that the Gamma function satisfies no…
For a differential operator $L$ of order $n$ over $C(z)$ with a finite (differential) Galois group $G\subset {\rm GL}(C^n)$, there is an algorithm, by M. van Hoeij and J.-A.~Weil, which computes the associated evaluation of the invariants…
We present a simple remark that assures that the invariant theory of certain real Lie groups coincides with that of the underlying affine, real algebraic groups. In particular, this result applies to the non-compact orthogonal or symplectic…
We construct pairs of residually finite groups with isomorphic profinite completions such that one has non-vanishing and the other has vanishing real second bounded cohomology. The examples are lattices in different higher rank simple Lie…
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…
For any characteristic zero coefficient field, an irreducible representation of a finite $p$-group can be assigned a Roquette $p$-group, called the genotype. This has already been done by Bouc and Kronstein in the special cases Q and C. A…
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…
