The order of the global Galois group

For any profinite group $G$, we can define the order of $G$ using the notion of supernatural number. Now let $K$ be a number field, $S$ a finite set of primes of $K$ and $ G_{K,S} $ the Galois group ...

Reference request: étale local system on $\Gamma\backslash\mathcal H$ for $\Gamma$ non-congruence

Suppose $\mathcal H$ is the upper half plane, and $\Gamma\subset \operatorname{PSL}_2(\mathbb Z)$ is a finite index subgroup. Then by Belyi's theorem we know that $\Gamma\backslash\mathcal H$ is an ...

Local Class field theory and Artin map for the Weil group

I am searching a reference for local class field theory that use the Weil group instead of the absolute Galois group. In particular that the Artin map is an isomorphism between the multiplicative ...

Using the Hilbert symbol to find nice field extensions

Let $p$ and $q$ be (not necessarily distinct) odd primes and let $F=\mathbb{Q}_p(\mu_q)$. The $q^{th}$ Hilbert symbol induces a non-degenerate alternating form $$(\cdot,\cdot)_q:F^\times/(F^\times)^q\...

Maximal order of $x^n-d$ and its dependence on $d$

It's well known that the structure of the maximal order of $\mathbb{Q}[\sqrt{d}]$ depends on $d$ modulo $4$: (assuming $d$ is squarefree), the maximal order is $\mathbb{Z}\left[\frac{1+\sqrt{d}}{2}\...

Reference request: Cohomology of Elliptic Curves

Is it true that the group $$H^1(Gal(K^{ab}/K)/\mu_{\nu}(Gal(K_{\nu}^{ab}/K_{\nu})),E_{p^n})$$ is always p-divisible? Or are there any conditions which, when satisfied, guarantee its p-divisibility? ...
