Closure of non-closed subset in Ring theory

We say that the ring $R$ is topological, when we are given neighbourhoods $\{O_{\lambda};\lambda \in \Lambda\}$ of $0_R$. We say ${\cal I}$ is a closed ideal of $R$ if and only if for any sub-index ...

Kummer extension of Galois modules

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic $p \geq 0$, $n$ an integer prime to $p$, and $x$ an element of $k \setminus \{0, 1\}$. I have read that the $n^{th}$ root of $1-x$ gives rise to a Galois module $E$...

Selmer Group versus Selmer Variety

For an abelian variety $A$, the $p$-adic Selmer group is defined to be the subset of $H^1(G_k,H_1^{et}(A;\mathbb{Q}_{p}))$ whose restriction to $G_{k_v}$ is in the image of $A(k_v)$ for all places $v$ ...

When is the Galois representation on the étale cohomology unramified/Hodge-Tate/de Rham/crystalline/semistable?

Let $X/K$ be a variety over a global field $K$. When (and why) is the Galois representation $H^i_{et}(X \times_K \bar{K}, \mathbf{Q}_\ell)$ unramified at a place $v$ of $K$? I guess this is true if $...
