Who realized the finite fields $\mathbb F_{p^n}$ first? Gauss or Galois?
Let $p$ be a prime, and let $n$ be a positive integer. The finite field $\mathbb F_{p^n}$ is often called a Galois field and denoted by $\mathrm{GF}(p^n)$ by researchers on coding theory.
On the other ...

When did the main conjecture in Vinogradov's mean value theorem first appear in literature?
Recently I was asked about the history of Vinogradov's mean value theorem that I was hoping someone here could clarify. Let me first start with some terminology. Let $J_{s, k}(X)$ be the number of $2s$...

I recently published a video abstract of a manuscript of mine (number theory), finding that more people are interested in its content than when I uploaded the preprint on arXiv.
Now, my main question ...

Where does the notation $\operatorname{Tr}(\cdot)\bmod \ell^\alpha$ implies isomorphism come from?
In J-P Serre's article on Faltings-Serre (Resume du Course 1984-1985) he states (without proof) that for two finite-dimensional $\ell$-adic Galois representations of $\operatorname{Gal}(\mathbb{Q})$, ...
