We study the relationship between the local and global Galois theory of function fields over a complete discretely valued field. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for local separable extensions to descend to global extensions, and for the local absolute Galois group to inject into the global absolute Galois group. As an application we obtain a local-global principle for the index of a variety over such a function field. In this context we also study algebra
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 $overline{mathbb{F}}_p(t)$.
This is an English translation of Nikolai Chebotaryovs paper Die Probleme der modernen Galoisschen Theorie from 1932. An excerpt from this paper was given as a lecture at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Zurich in 1932. With the lecture being given to commememorate the centennial of Evariste Galois death, the paper is a broad survey of various contemporary problems in Galois Theory the author found represented the culminations of work done by Galois and his successors.
We present a list of problems in arithmetic topology posed at the June 2019 PIMS/NSF workshop on Arithmetic Topology. Three problem sessions were hosted during the workshop in which participants proposed open questions to the audience and engaged in shared discussions from their own perspectives as working mathematicians across various fields of study. Participants were explicitly asked to provide problems of various levels of difficulty, with the goal of capturing a cross-section of exciting challenges in the field that could help guide future activity. The problems, together with references and brief discussions when appropriate, are collected below into three categories: 1) topological analogues of arithmetic phenomena, 2) point counts, stability phenomena and the Grothendieck ring, and 3) tools, methods and examples.
Bruinier and Yang conjectured a formula for an intersection number on the arithmetic Hilbert modular surface, CM(K).T_m, where CM(K) is the zero-cycle of points corresponding to abelian surfaces with CM by a primitive quartic CM field K, and T_m is the Hirzebruch-Zagier divisors parameterizing products of elliptic curves with an m-isogeny between them. In this paper, we examine fields not covered by Yangs proof of the conjecture. We give numerical evidence to support the conjecture and point to some interesting anomalies. We compare the conjecture to both the denominators of Igusa class polynomials and the number of solutions to the embedding problem stated by Goren and Lauter.
A theory of monoids in the category of bicomodules of a coalgebra $C$ or $C$-rings is developed. This can be viewed as a dual version of the coring theory. The notion of a matrix ring context consisting of two bicomodules and two maps is introduced and the corresponding example of a $C$-ring (termed a {em matrix $C$-ring}) is constructed. It is shown that a matrix ring context can be associated to any bicomodule which is a one-sided quasi-finite injector. Based on this, the notion of a {em Galois module} is introduced and the structure theorem, generalising Schneiders Theorem II [H.-J. Schneider, Israel J. Math., 72 (1990), 167--195], is proven. This is then applied to the $C$-ring associated to a weak entwining structure and a structure theorem for a weak $A$-Galois coextension is derived. The theory of matrix ring contexts for a firm coalgebra (or {em infinite matrix ring contexts}) is outlined. A Galois connection associated to a matrix $C$-ring is constructed.
