Abstract

We construct regular integral models for a class of Shimura varieties of symplectic and orthogonal type with maximal parahoric level at an odd prime $p$. These models are defined over the ring of integers of the reflex field and have special fiber with normal crossings and irreducible components of multiplicity one or two. Our construction uses explicit equivariant modifications of the corresponding canonical local models for symplectic and split even orthogonal similitude groups, with the minuscule cocharacters corresponding to maximal isotropic Grassmannians. These modifications are obtained by successively blowing up Schubert varieties in the special fiber. This proves the equivariant modification conjecture of Pappas at maximal parahoric level in the above cases.

Solvable extensions of number fields ramified at only one prime are Ostrowski

In this note, we show that, under a certain condition, solvable extensions of number fields ramifed at only one prime are Ostrowski. As a corollary, we deduce a generalization of Hilbert Theorem 94 to cyclic extensions ramifed at one prime.

The integer group determinants for GA(1,p) and related semidirect products

We consider the integer group determinants for groups that are semidirect products of $\mathbb Z_p$ and $\mathbb Z_n$ with $p$ prime and $n\mid p-1$. We give a complete description of the integer group determinants for the general affine groups of degree one GA(1,$p$) when $p=5,7,11$ and $23$, and for $\mathbb Z_7\rtimes \mathbb Z_3,$ $\mathbb Z_{11}\rtimes \mathbb Z_5$ and $\mathbb Z_{13}\rtimes \mathbb Z_6,$ showing that the obvious divisibility and congruence conditions arising from the form of the group determinant when $n=p-1$ or $\frac{1}{2}(p-1)$, can be sufficient as well as necessary for these types of groups (although in the latter case we must work with norms of integers in a quadratic field). For $p=13$ this also happens for the remaining groups of this type, $\mathbb Z_{13}\rtimes_5 \mathbb Z_4$ and $\mathbb Z_{13}\rtimes \mathbb Z_3$, (working in an appropriate cubic and quartic field).

The density of elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}_p$ with a rational 3-torsion point or a rational 3-isogeny

We determine the probability that a random Weierstrass equation with coefficients in the $p$-adic integers defines an elliptic curve with a non-trivial $3$-torsion point, or with a degree $3$ isogeny, defined over the field of $p$-adic numbers. We determine these densities by calculating the corresponding $p$-adic volume integrals and analyzing certain modular curves. Additionally, we explore the case of $\ell$-torsion for $\ell>3$ prime.
