The Nevo–Zimmer intermediate factor theorem over local fields

Semigroups over Local fields

Let G be a 1-connected, almost-simple Lie group over a local field and S a subsemigroup of G with non-empty interior. The action of the regular hyperbolic elements in the interior of S on the flag manifold G/P and on the associated Euclidean building allows us to prove that the invariant control set exists and is unique. We also provide a characterization of the set of transitivity of the contr...

The Amer-brumer Theorem over Arbitrary Fields

The Amer-Brumer Theorem was originally proved for fields with characteristic different from 2. Amer’s generalization of Brumer’s result has never been published. We show that Amer’s result extends to fields of arbitrary characteristic and we give a proof that is independent of the characteristic of the field.

Single-factor lifting and factorization of polynomials over local fields

Let f (x) be a separable polynomial over a local field. The Montes algorithm computes certain approximations to the different irreducible factors of f (x), with strong arithmetic properties. In this paper, we develop an algorithm to improve any one of these approximations, till a prescribed precision is attained. The most natural application of this ‘‘single-factor lifting’’ routine is to combi...

Constructing class fields over local fields

Let K be a p-adic field. We give an explicit characterization of the abelian extensions of K of degree p by relating the coefficients of the generating polynomials of extensions L/K of degree p to the exponents of generators of the norm group NL/K(L ∗). This is applied in an algorithm for the construction of class fields of degree pm, which yields an algorithm for the computation of class field...
