Given a finite endomorphism $varphi$ of a variety $X$ defined over the field of fractions $K$ of a Dedekind domain, we study the extension $K(varphi^{-infty}(alpha)) : = bigcup_{n geq 1} K(varphi^{-n}(alpha))$ generated by the preimages of $alpha$ under all iterates of $varphi$. In particular when $varphi$ is post-critically finite, i.e., there exists a non-empty, Zariski-open $W subseteq X$ such that $varphi^{-1}(W) subseteq W$ and $varphi : W to X$ is etale, we prove that $K(varphi^{-infty}(alpha))$ is ramified over only finitely many primes of $K$. This provides a large supply of infinite extensions with restricted ramification, and generalizes results of Aitken-Hajir-Maire in the case $X = mathbb{A}^1$ and Cullinan-Hajir, Jones-Manes in the case $X = mathbb{P}^1$. Moreover, we conjecture that this finite ramification condition characterizes post-critically finite morphisms, and we give an entirely new result showing this for $X = mathbb{P}^1$. The proof relies on Faltings theorem and a local argument.
We give a simple derivation of the formula for the number of normal elements in an extension of finite fields. Our proof is based on the fact that units in the Galois group ring of a field extension act simply transitively on normal elements.
Let E/F be a CM field split above a finite place v of F, let l be a rational prime number which is prime to v, and let S be the set of places of E dividing lv. If E_S denotes a maximal algebraic extension of E unramified outside S, and if u is a plac
If the $ell$-adic cohomology of a projective smooth variety, defined over a local field $K$ with finite residue field $k$, is supported in codimension $ge 1$, then every model over the ring of integers of $K$ has a $k$-rational point. For $K$ a $p$-a
In previous work, the authors confirmed the speculation of J. G. Thompson that certain multiquadratic fields are generated by specified character values of sufficiently large alternating groups $A_n$. Here we address the natural generalization of thi
In this paper we introduce the additive analogue of the index of a polynomial over finite fields. We study several problems in the theory of polynomials over finite fields in terms of their additive indices, such as value set sizes, bounds on multipl
