Rationalité de valeurs spéciales de certaines fonctions L
Recently, Baily has established new foundation for complex multiplication in the context of Hilbert modular functions; see [1]-[4]. However, in his treatment there is a restriction on the class of CM-points treated. Namely, the order of complex multiplications associated to the point must be the maximal order in its quotient field. The purpose of this paper is two-fold: (1) to remove the restriction just mentioned; (2) to recover a result of Tate on the conjugates of CM-points by arbitrary Galois...
Let be a number field, and suppose is irreducible over . Using algebraic geometry and group theory, we describe conditions under which the -exceptional set of , i.e. the set of for which the specialized polynomial is -reducible, is finite. We give three applications of the methods we develop. First, we show that for any fixed , all but finitely many -specializations of the degree generalized Laguerre polynomial are -irreducible and have Galois group . Second, we study specializations...
We study a moduli space for Artin-Schreier curves of genus over an algebraically closed field of characteristic . We study the stratification of by -rank into strata of Artin-Schreier curves of genus with -rank exactly . We enumerate the irreducible components of and find their dimensions. As an application, when , we prove that every irreducible component of the moduli space of hyperelliptic -curves with genus and -rank has dimension . We also determine all pairs for...
