Transcendental Galois Theory

چکیده

DISCLAIMER: This is just a draft. I am not sure of the final purpose of this document, so at the moment I have included lots of known results, in particular proofs of the usual Fundamental Theorem of Galois theory (in the finite and then the algebraic case). Seeing such proofs helps (me) to understand the analogies between the Fundamental Theorem presented here and the usual cases. Also, CAVEAT EMPTOR. Many of the assertions here do not appear with complete proofs. The proofs are pretty routine, except for one: at the moment I am just hoping that the claim about Galois closures of genus zero coverings is true. This claim is used to prove what is the most interesting result in the paper: namely, that a transcendental extension K/F is Galois only if K is algebraically closed. Please let me know if you have any ideas about how to prove this claim, and/or how to prove the deduction without it!

Galois Theory, Motives and Transcendental Numbers

From its early beginnings up to nowadays, algebraic number theory has evolved in symbiosis with Galois theory: indeed, one could hold that it consists in the very study of the absolute Galois group of the field of rational numbers. Nothing like that can be said of transcendental number theory. Nevertheless, couldn’t one associate conjugates and a Galois group to transcendental numbers such as π...

A History of Selected Topics in Categorical Algebra I: From Galois Theory to Abstract Commutators and Internal Groupoids

This paper is a chronological survey, with no proofs, of a direction in categorical algebra, which is based on categorical Galois theory and involves generalized central extensions, commutators, and internal groupoids in Barr exact Mal’tsev and more general categories. Galois theory proposes a notion of central extension, and motivates the study of internal groupoids, which is then used as an a...

The Modularity of K3 Surfaces with Non-symplectic Group Actions

We consider complex K3 surfaces with a non-symplectic group acting trivially on the algebraic cycles. Vorontsov and Kondō classified those K3 surfaces with transcendental lattice of minimal rank. The purpose of this note is to study the Galois representations associated to these K3 surfaces. The rank of the transcendental lattices is even and varies from 2 to 20, excluding 8 and 14. We show tha...
