Let F be a function field in one variable over a p-adic field and D a central division algebra over F of degree n coprime to p. We prove that Suslin invariant detects whether an element in F is a reduced norm. This leads to a local-global principle for reduced norms with respect to all discrete valuations of F.

We prove the failure of the local-global principle, with respect to all discrete valuations, for isotropy of quadratic forms over a rational function field of transcendence degree at least 2 over the complex numbers. Our construction involves the generalized Kummer varieties considered by Borcea and Cynk--Hulek.
If the $ell$-adic cohomology of a projective smooth variety, defined over a $frak{p}$-adic field $K$ with finite residue field $k$, is supported in codimension $ge 1$, then any model over the ring of integers of $K$ has a $k$-rational point. This slightly improves our earlier result math/0405318: we needed there the model to be regular (but then our result was more general: we obtained a congruence for the number of points, and $K$ could be local of characteristic $p>0$).
We estimate several probability distributions arising from the study of random, monic polynomials of degree $n$ with coefficients in the integers of a general $p$-adic field $K_{mathfrak{p}}$ having residue field with $q= p^f$ elements. We estimate the distribution of the degrees of irreducible factors of the polynomials, with tight error bounds valid when $q> n^2+n$. We also estimate the distribution of Galois groups of such polynomials, showing that for fixed $n$, almost all Galois groups are cyclic in the limit $q to infty$. In particular, we show that the Galois groups are cyclic with probability at least $1 - frac{1}{q}$. We obtain exact formulas in the case of $K_{mathfrak{p}}$ for all $p > n$ when $n=2$ and $n=3$.
We study the Jacobian $J$ of the smooth projective curve $C$ of genus $r-1$ with affine model $y^r = x^{r-1}(x + 1)(x + t)$ over the function field $mathbb{F}_p(t)$, when $p$ is prime and $rge 2$ is an integer prime to $p$. When $q$ is a power of $p$ and $d$ is a positive integer, we compute the $L$-function of $J$ over $mathbb{F}_q(t^{1/d})$ and show that the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture holds for $J$ over $mathbb{F}_q(t^{1/d})$. When $d$ is divisible by $r$ and of the form $p^ u +1$, and $K_d := mathbb{F}_p(mu_d,t^{1/d})$, we write down explicit points in $J(K_d)$, show that they generate a subgroup $V$ of rank $(r-1)(d-2)$ whose index in $J(K_d)$ is finite and a power of $p$, and show that the order of the Tate-Shafarevich group of $J$ over $K_d$ is $[J(K_d):V]^2$. When $r>2$, we prove that the new part of $J$ is isogenous over $overline{mathbb{F}_p(t)}$ to the square of a simple abelian variety of dimension $phi(r)/2$ with endomorphism algebra $mathbb{Z}[mu_r]^+$. For a prime $ell$ with $ell mid pr$, we prove that $J[ell](L)={0}$ for any abelian extension $L$ of $overline{mathbb{F}}_p(t)$.
