Abstract We study the automorphisms of a function field of genus g ≥ 2 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p > 0. More precisely, we show that the order of a nilpotent subgroup G of its automorphism group is bounded by 16 (g – 1) when G is not a p-group. We show that if |G| = 16(g – 1), then g – 1 is a power of 2. Furthermore, we provide an infinite family of function fields attaining the bound.

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>0. Let K/k be a function field of one variable and L/K be an unramified separable abelian extension of degree pr over K. The galois automorphisms ε1, …, εpr of L/K are naturally extended to automorphisms η(ε1), … , η(εpr) of the jacobian variety JL of L/k. If we take a svstem of p-adic coordinates on JL, we get a representation {Mp(η(εv))} of the galois group G(L/K) of L/K over p-adic integers.

Over the function field of a smooth projective curve over an algebraically closed field, we investigate the set of S-integral elements in a forward orbit under a rational function by establishing some analogues of the classical Siegel theorem.

AbstractAn algebraic group of type E7 over an algebraically closed field has an irreducible representation in a vector space of dimension 56 and is, in fact, the identity component of the automorphism group of a quartic form on the space. This paper describes the construction of the quartic form if the characteristic is ≠ 2, 3, taking into account a field of definition F. Certain F-forms of E7 appear in the automorphism groups of quartic forms over F, as well as forms of E6. Many of the results of the paper are known, but are perhaps not easily accessible in the literature.

AbstractLet K and K′ be two elliptic fields with complex multiplication over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic 0. non k-isomorphic, and let C and C′ be two curves with respectively K and K′ as function fields. We prove that if the endomorphism rings of the curves are not isomorphic then K and K′ are not elementarily equivalent in the language of fields expanded with a constant symbol (the modular invariant). This theorem is an analogue of a theorem from David A. Pierce in the language of k-algebras.

This paper examines the relationship between the automorphism group of a hyperelliptic curve defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic two and the 2-rank of the curve. In particular, we exploit the wild ramification to use the Deuring–Shafarevich formula in order to analyze the ramification of hyperelliptic curves that admit extra automorphisms and use this data to impose restrictions on the genera and 2-ranks of such curves. We also show how some of the techniques and results carry over to the case where our base field is of characteristic p > 2.

By studying the theory of rational curves, we introduce a notion of rational simple connectedness for projective homogeneous spaces. As an application, we prove that over a function field of an algebraic surface over an algebraically closed field, a variety whose geometric generic fiber is a projective homogeneous space admits a rational point if and only if the elementary obstruction vanishes.

Abstract The present paper studies the group homology of the groups {\operatorname{SL}_{2}(k[C])} and {\operatorname{PGL}_{2}(k[C])} , where {C=\overline{C}\setminus\{P_{1},\dots,P_{s}\}} is a smooth affine curve over an algebraically closed field k. It is well known that these groups act on a product of trees and the quotients can be described in terms of certain equivalence classes of rank two vector bundles on the curve {\overline{C}} . There is a natural subcomplex consisting of cells with suitably non-trivial isotropy group. The paper provides explicit formulas for the equivariant homology of this “parabolic subcomplex”. These formulas also describe group homology of {\operatorname{SL}_{2}(k[C])} above degree s, generalizing a result of Suslin in the case {s=1} .

Abstract In 1895 Wiman introduced the Riemann surface 𝒲 of genus 6 over the complex field ℂ defined by the equation X 6+Y 6+ℨ 6+(X 2+Y 2+ℨ 2)(X 4+Y 4+ℨ 4)−12X 2 Y 2 ℨ 2 = 0, and showed that its full automorphism group is isomorphic to the symmetric group S 5. We show that this holds also over every algebraically closed field 𝕂 of characteristic p ≥ 7. For p = 2, 3 the above polynomial is reducible over 𝕂, and for p = 5 the curve 𝒲 is rational and Aut(𝒲) ≅ PGL(2,𝕂). We also show that Wiman’s 𝔽192 -maximal sextic 𝒲 is not Galois covered by the Hermitian curve H19 over the finite field 𝔽192 .

AbstractThe conjugacy of Cartan subalgebras of a Lie algebra L over an algebraically closed field under the connected automorphism group G of L is inherited by those G-stable ideals B for which B/Ci is restrictable for some hypercenter Ci of B. Concequently, if L is a restrictable Lie algebra such that L/Ci restrictable for some hypercenter Ci of L, and if the Lie algebra of Aut L contains ad L, then the Cartan subalgebras of L are conjugate under G. (The techniques here apply in particular to Lie algebras of characteristic 0 and classical Lie algebras, showing how the conjugacy of Cartan subgroups of algebraic groups leads quickly in these cases to the conjugacy of Cartan subalgebras.)
