On the number of quaternion and dihedral braces and Hopf--Galois structures
Nigel P. Byott, Fabio Ferri
We prove a conjecture of Guarnieri and Vendramin on the number of braces of a given order whose multiplicative group is a generalised quaternion group. At the same time, we give a…
Applications of representation theory and of explicit units to Leopoldt's conjecture
Fabio Ferri, Henri Johnston
Let be a Galois extension of number fields and let . We show that under certain hypotheses on , for a fixed prime number , Leopoldt's conjecture at…
Leopoldt-type theorems for non-abelian extensions of Q
Fabio Ferri
We prove new results concerning the additive Galois module structure of certain wildly ramified finite non-abelian extensions of Q. In particular, when K/Q is a Galois extension wi…
How far is an extension of -adic fields from having a normal integral basis?
Ilaria Del Corso, Fabio Ferri, Davide Lombardo
Let be a finite Galois extension of -adic fields with group . It is well-known that contains a free -submodule of finite index. We stu…
Tame Galois module structure revisited
Fabio Ferri, Cornelius Greither
A number field is Hilbert-Speiser if all of its tame abelian extensions admit NIB (normal integral basis). It is known that is the only such field, but when…
