The Hilbert pairing for formal groups over -rings.
Let be a locally compact non-Archimedean field, and let be a division algebra of dimension 4. The Jacquet-Langlands correspondence provides a bijection between smooth irreducible representations of of dimension and irreducible cuspidal representations of . We present a new construction of this bijection in which the preservation of epsilon factors is automatic. This is done by constructing a family of pairs , where is an order and is a finite-dimensional representation of a certain...
Let be an algebraically closed field of characteristic . We study obstructions to lifting to characteristic the faithful continuous action of a finite group on . To each such a theorem of Katz and Gabber associates an action of on a smooth projective curve over . We say that the KGB obstruction of vanishes if acts on a smooth projective curve in characteristic in such a way that and have the same genus for all subgroups . We determine for which the KGB obstruction...
Let K be a complete, algebraically closed nonarchimedean valued field, and let φ(z) ∈ K(z) have degree d ≥ 2. We study how the resultant of φ varies under changes of coordinates. For γ ∈ GL₂(K), we show that the map factors through a function on the Berkovich projective line, which is piecewise affine and convex up. The minimal resultant is achieved either at a single point in , or on a segment, and the minimal resultant locus is contained in the tree in spanned by the fixed points and poles...
