Characteristic Classes of Kuga Fiber Varieties of Quaternion Type.
We show that in the class of compact sets K in with an analytic parametrization of order m, the sets with Zariski dimension m are exactly those which admit a Bernstein (or a van der Corput-Schaake) type inequality for tangential derivatives of (the traces of) polynomials on K.
In this paper we characterize, in two different ways, the Newton polygons which are jacobian Newton polygons of a plane branch. These characterizations give in particular combinatorial criteria of irreducibility for complex series in two variables and necessary conditions which a complex curve has to satisfy in order to be the discriminant of a complex plane branch.
We present examples of characters of absolute Galois groups of number fields that can be recovered through their action by automorphisms on the profinite completion of the braid groups, using a “rigidity” approach. The way we use to recover them is through classical representations of the braid groups, and in particular through the Burau representation. This enables one to extend these characters to Grothendieck-Teichmüller groups.
