Galois representations on holomorphic differentials

Using the same methods as in [S2] and [S3] we derive the Brauer trees for the cyclic pblocks for G₂(2^k),G₂(3^k) and the noncyclic pblocks for these groups, where p ≠ 2,3. The results are analogous to those obtained for G₂(q), where q is not divisible by 2 or 3. These results were first announced in [Sl].     

On the number of generators of the torsion module of differentials

In this paper we study the (minimum) global number of generators of the torsion module of differentials of affine hypersurfaces with only isolated singularities. We show that for reduced plane curves the torsion module of differentials can be generated by at most two elements, whereas for higher codimensions there is no universal upper bound. We then proceed to give explicit examples. In particular (when ) , we give examples of a reduced hypersurface with a single isolated singularity at the origin in that require

Automorphisms and holomorphic differentials in characteristic p

Let G be a group of automorphisms of a function field F of genus g_F over an algebraically closed field K. The space $\text{Ω}{}_{\mathrm{F}}$ of holomorphic differentials of F is a g_F^? dimensional K-space. In response to a query of Hecke, Chevalley and Weil (Abh. Math. Sem. Univ. Hamburg, 10 (1934), 358–361) completely determined the structure of $\text{Ω}{}_{\mathrm{F}}$ as representation space for G in the classical case. They carried out the proof for the special case in which F is unramified over the fixed field of G. The case of cyclic ramified extensions had been previously considered by Hurwitz (Math. Ann., 41 (1893), 37–45). Weil (Abh. Math. Sem. Univ. Hamburg, 11 (1935), 110–115) gave a proof in the general case. The treatment in the last two papers is analytical. In characteristic p, the problem is open. If G is cyclic and F is unramified over the fixed field E of G, Tamagawa (Proc. Japan Acad., 27 (1951), 548–551) proved that the representation is the direct sum of one identity representation of degree 1 and g_E ? 1 regular representations. The principal object of this paper is an extension of Tamagawa's result to arbitrary cyclic extensions of p-power degree. The number of times an indecomposable representation of given degree occurs in the representation of G on $\text{Ω}{}_{\mathrm{F}}$ is explicitly determined in terms of g_E and the Witt vector characterizing the extension $\text{F}\text{E}$. The paper also contains a purely algebraic proof of the result of Chevalley and Weil for arbitrary cyclic extensions of degree relatively prime to p. Using character theory, it can be extended to arbitrary groups of order relatively prime to the characteristic.     

On the Galois module structure over CM-fields

In this paper we make a contribution to the problem of the existence of a normal integral basis. Our main result is that unramified realizations of a given finite abelian group Δ as a Galois group Gal (N/K) of an extensionN of a givenCM-fieldK are invariant under the involution on the set of all realizations of Δ overK which is induced by complex conjugation onK and by inversion on Δ. We give various implications of this result. For example, we show that the tame realizations of a finite abelian group Δ of odd order over a totally real number fieldK are completely characterized by ramification and Galois module structure.     

A note on the density of a subset of all integrable holomorphic quadratic differentials

Let T0(Δ) be the subset of the universal Teichm¨uller space, which consists all of the elements with boundary dilatation 1. Let SQ(Δ) be the unit ball of the space Q(Δ) of all integrable holomorphic quadratic differentials on the unit disk Δ and Q0(Δ) be defined as Q0(Δ) = {? ∈ SQ(Δ) : there exists a k ∈(0, 1) such that [kˉ? |?|] ∈ T0(Δ)}. In this paper, we show that Q0(Δ) is dense in SQ(Δ).     

On the module structure of free L ie algebras

We study the free Lie algebra over a field of non-zero characteristic as a module for the cyclic group of order acting on by cyclically permuting the elements of a free generating set. Our main result is a complete decomposition of as a direct sum of indecomposable modules.
