A monogenic Hasse-Arf theorem
I extend the Hasse–Arf theorem from residually separable extensions of complete discrete valuation rings to monogenic extensions.

We examine primitive roots modulo the Fermat number . We show that an odd integer is a Fermat prime if and only if the set of primitive roots modulo is equal to the set of quadratic non-residues modulo . This result is extended to primitive roots modulo twice a Fermat number.
The ElGamal encryption scheme can be used for both digital signatures and encryption, and its security results from the difficulty of calculating discrete logarithms in a finite field. This algorithm usually works in a multiplicative group of GF(p) and in this case the progress in the discrete logarithm problem forces the users of such a basic ElGamal public key cryptosystem to permanently increase a prime modulus p in order to ensure the desired security. But the task of finding a multiplicative...
In this paper we apply the results of our previous article on the -adic interpolation of logarithmic derivatives of formal groups to the construction of -adic -functions attached to certain elliptic curves with complex multiplication. Our results are primarily concerned with curves with supersingular reduction.
