The Explicit Formula And A Motivic Splitting, David P. Roberts Jan 2019

The Explicit Formula And A Motivic Splitting, David P. Roberts

Mathematics Publications

We apply the Guinand-Weil-Mestre explicit formula to resolve two questions about how a certain hypergeometric motive splits into two irreducible motives.


The Tame-Wild Principle For Discriminant Relations For Number Fields, John W. Jones, David P. Roberts May 2014

The Tame-Wild Principle For Discriminant Relations For Number Fields, John W. Jones, David P. Roberts

Mathematics Publications

Consider tuples ( K1 , … , Kr ) of separable algebras over a common local or global number field F1, with the Ki related to each other by specified resolvent constructions. Under the assumption that all ramification is tame, simple group-theoretic calculations give best possible divisibility relations among the discriminants of Ki ∕ F . We show that for many resolvent constructions, these divisibility relations continue to hold even in the presence of wild ramification.
