We construct and study the moduli of continuous representations of a profinite group with integral p-adic coefficients. We present this moduli space over the moduli space of continuous pseudorepresentations and show that this morphism is algebraizable. When this profinite group is the absolute Galois group of a p-adic local field, we show that these moduli spaces admit Zariski-closed loci cutti...

Let L=K1 U .. , U Kp.r;;;S3 be a tame link of Jl~ 1 components with group G=7r1(S3_L). Also, let H=G/G' be the abelianization of G; H is then the (multiplicative) free abelian group generated by the meridians t1, ••• , tp. of L, and its integral group ring ZH consists of polynomials (with integer coefficients) in t 1 ,. .. , tp.' til, ... , t;l. The homomorphism 6: ZH~Z (which has 6(t;)=1 for e...

An integral-generic factoring algorithm is, loosely speaking, a constant sequence of ring operations that computes an integer whose greatest common divisor with a given integral random variable n, such as an RSA public key, is non-trivial. Formal definitions for generic factoring will be stated. Integral-generic factoring algorithms seem to include versions of trial division and Lenstra’s ellip...

For every quiver of finite type we define a finitely presented group called a picture group. We construct a finite CW complex which is shown in another paper [10] to be a K(π, 1) for this picture group. In [5] another independent proof was given for this fact in the special case of type An with straight orientation and we use this CW complex to compute the integral cohomology of picture groups ...

Let A be an Ä-order in a semisimple finite dimensional /(-algebra, where K is an algebraic number field, and R is the ring of algebraic integers of K. Denote by C(A) the reduced class group of the category of locally free left A-lattices. Choose A= ZC, the integral group ring of a finite group G, and let A be a maximal Z-order in QG containing A. There is an epimorphism C(A)-C(A'), given by JIÍ...

We show that any Λ-ring, in the sense of Riemann–Roch theory, which is finite étale over the rational numbers and has an integral model as a Λ-ring is contained in a product of cyclotomic fields. In fact, we show that the category of them is described in a Galois-theoretic way in terms of the monoid of pro-finite integers under multiplication and the cyclotomic character. We also study the maxi...
