Drinfeld in 1974, in his seminal paper [10], revolutionized the contribution to arithmetic of the area of global function fields. He introduced a function field analog of elliptic curves over number fields. These analogs are now called Drinfeld modules. For him and for many subsequent developments in the theory of automorphic forms over function fields, their main use was in the exploration of ...

10. Galois modules and class field theory Boas Erez In this section we shall try to present the reader with a sample of several significant instances where, on the way to proving results in Galois module theory, one is lead to use class field theory. Conversely, some contributions of Galois module theory to class fields theory are hinted at. We shall also single out some problems that in our op...

We present a different version of the well-known connection between Hopf–Galois structures and skew braces, building on recent paper A. Koch P. J. Truman. show that known results involve this easily carry over to new perspective, ones naturally appear. As an application, we insights study surjectivity correspondence, explaining in more detail role bi-skew braces theory.

Inside the universal deformation space of a local Galois representation one has the set of deformations which are potentially semi-stable of given p-adic Hodge and Galois type. It turns out these points cut out a closed subspace of the deformation space. A deep conjecture due to Breuil-Mézard predicts that part of the structure of this space can be described in terms of the local Langlands corr...

We establish a number of new results (and rederive some old results) concerning regular languages, using essentially topological methods. Our development is based on the duality (established by Stone) between Boolean algebras and certain topological spaces (which are now called \Stone spaces"). (This duality does not seem to have been recognized in the literature on regular languages, even thou...

For certain mod p Galois representations ρ̄, arising from modular forms on definite unitary groups in two variables, we express the ρ̄-part of completed cohomology Ĥ ρ̄ (away from Σ = Σp ∪Σ0) as a tensor product Πp⊗ΠΣ0 . Here Πp is attached to the universal deformation ρ via the p-adic local Langlands correspondence for GL2(Qp), and ΠΣ0 is given by the local Langlands correspondence in families, o...

Inheritance hierarchies often constitute the backbone of object-oriented systems. Their quality is therefore quite crucial. We present here our work the objective of which is to help designers to improve and to measure the quality of their inheritance hierarchies. The quality we deal with is the degree of factorization of information. Our work is based on the mathematical structure of Galois (c...

Let X be an arbitrary category with an (E,M)-factorization structure for sinks. A notion of constant morphism that depends on a chosen class of monomorphisms is introduced. This notion yields a Galois connection that can be seen as a generalization of the classical connectedness-disconnectedness correspondence (also called torsion-torsion free in algebraic contexts). It is shown that this Galoi...

Topological sequential spaces are the fixed points of a Galois correspondence between collections of open sets and sequential convergence structures. The same procedure can be followed replacing open sets by other topological concepts, such as closure operators or (ultra)filter convergences. The fixed points of these other Galois correspondences are not topological spaces in general, but they c...

Shimura varieties are arithmetic quotients of locally symmetric spaces which are canonically defined over number fields. In this article, we discuss recent developments on the reciprocity law realized on cohomology groups of Shimura varieties which relate Galois representations and automorphic representations. Focus is put on the control of -adic families of Galois representations by -adic fami...
