On the relative Galois module structure of rings of integers in tame extensions

Let $F$ be a number field with ring of integers $O_F$ and let $G$ be a finite group. We describe an approach to the study of the set of realisable classes in the locally free class group $Cl(O_FG)$ of $O_FG$ that involves applying the work of the second-named author in the context of relative algebraic $K$ theory. When $G$ is of odd order, we show (subject to certain conditions) that the set of realisable classes is a subgroup of $Cl(O_FG)$. This may be viewed as being a partial analogue of a classical theorem of Shafarevich on the inverse Galois problem for soluble groups in the setting of Galois module theory.

On the square root of the inverse different

Let N/F be a finite, normal extension of number fields with Galois group G. Suppose that N/F is weakly ramified, and that the square root A(N/F) of the inverse different of N.F is defined. (This latter condition holds if, for example, G is of odd order.) B. Erez has conjectured that the class (A(N/F)) of A(N/F) in the locally free class group Cl(ZG) of ZG is equal to the Cassou-Nogues-Frohlich root number class W(N/F) attached to N/F. We establish a precise formula for (A(N/F)) - W(N/F) in terms of the signs of certain symplectic Galois-Gauss sums whenever N/F is tame and (A(N/F)) is defined. We thereby show that, in general, (A(N/F)) is not equal to W(N/F).

On counting rings of integers as Galois modules

Let $K$ be a number field and $G$ a finite abelian group. We study the asymptotic behaviour of the number of tamely ramified $G$-extensions of $K$ with ring of integers of fixed realisable class as a Galois module.

On twisted forms and relative algebraic K-theory

This paper introduces a new approach to the study of certain aspects of Galois module theory by combining ideas arising from the study of the Galois structure of torsors of finite group schemes with techniques coming from relative algebraic $K$-theory.

Galois modules and p-adic representations

In this paper we develop a theory of class invariants associated to $p$-adic representations of absolute Galois groups of number fields. Our main tool for doing this involves a new way of describing certain Selmer groups attached to $p$-adic representations in terms of resolvends associated to torsors of finite group schemes.
