Hurwitz Number Fields

چکیده
The canonical covering maps from Hurwitz varieties to configuration varieties are important in algebraic geometry. The schemetheoretic fiber above a rational point is commonly connected, in which case it is the spectrum of a Hurwitz number field. We study many examples of such maps and their fibers, finding number fields whose existence contradicts standard mass heuristics.

Counting extensions of function fields with bounded discriminant and specified Galois group
We discuss the enumeration of function fields and number fields by discriminant. We show that Malle’s conjectures agree with heuristics arising naturally from geometric computations on Hurwitz schemes. These heuristics also suggest further questions in the number field setting.
متن کاملHilbert Class Polynomials and Traces of Singular Moduli
where q = e. The values of j(z) at imaginary quadratic arguments in the upper half of the complex plane are known as singular moduli. Singular moduli are algebraic integers which play prominent roles in classical and modern number theory (see [C, BCSH]). For example, Hilbert class fields of imaginary quadratic fields are generated by singular moduli. Furthermore, isomorphism classes of elliptic...
متن کاملThe Brill-Segre formula and the abc conjecture
This is a write-up of lectures presented at the first Arizona Winter School in Arithmetic Geometry on the abc conjecture. There isn’t anything new in these notes, except perhaps the point of view. Most of the results are in [V] and [TV]. The Brill-Segre formula counts the number of osculation points for a morphism of a curve to n-dimensional space and generalizes the Hurwitz formula (n = 1) and...
متن کاملVariants of an algorithm of J . Stein
In 1961 J. Stein proposed an algorithm to compute the greatest common divisor of two integers. In this paper we point out that similar algorithms exist in the ring of integers of various quadratic number fields and also in the non-commutative ring of the Hurwitz quaternions. The implementations of the algorithms are straightforward. However the procedures vary from case to case. AMS Mathematics...
متن کاملThe Geometry of Self-Dual Gauge Fields
Self-dual 2-forms in D = 2n dimensions are characterised by an eigenvalue criterion. The equivalence of various definitions of selfduality is proven. We show that the self-dual 2-forms determine a n − n + 1 dimensional manifold S2n and the dimension of the maximal linear subspaces of S2n is equal to the Radon-Hurwitz number of linearly independent vector fields on the sphere S. The relation bet...
