University Microfilms INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image o f the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. Silver prints of "photographs" may be ordered at additional charge by writing the Order Department, giving the catalog number, title, author and specific pages you wish reproduced.

The terminology and general notations used in this paper are the same as the ones introduced in (7)« (2*f) and (25)* We begin with a generalization of the classical idea of a crossed product, for which we refer to (7)s Definition 1.1. Let F be a field, E a semisimple, commuta­ tive E-algebra of finite dimension and G a finite subgroup of Autp(E) with the property that its fixed subalgebra coin­ cides with F: E6 = jx6E/k/cf€.G: c(x)=x} = F; in addition, let f be a 2-cocycle of the G-module E, i.e.: f: GxG --- * U(E) f (<J,T>.f (ot,6) = f (T,6)°.f(atT6) (Vc,t,6€G). (we use freely the notation x° instead of o(x) for x € E and o€G, so that if t:A — »E is any function with values 1 in E, then ttf represents the composite function o*t. It should be emphasized that we think of functions as written on the left, so that for example: means o(x(x)) or (.x*)0 OX and, if t is a function as before, t means the composite: o.ft.) Then we call the crossed product A(f,E,G) the F- algebra defined as follows: A(f,E,G) is the F-vector space of all functions t: G --- > E , together with the multiplication defined thus: given t,t': G ■ — ■ —> E, tt' is the function defined by — , - 1 tt'(o) * f(tf*-1 ,T)t(OT~1 )t'OX C*> ( V o e G ) . T 6 G The proof that this definition makes A(f,E,G) an F-al- gebra would be clear after the following considerations. Among the elements of A(f,E,G) we distinguish the family ■ft r n> where t^(x) = 6 (Kronecker delta) (Vo,t £ G). *• o; a €. g a ox It is clear that {t0}0 g g is an E-basis for the E-module A(f,E,G) and, in fact, for each element t of the crossed product we have: t a Z 2 t(o).t . O €G ° According to the definition, the multiplication table for this basis is: t t (vO «= f(pe”\ e ) . t (®) » G T o T e =» Z f ^ " 1 ,.).# ,«6_ „ a e ^,pc T »* = f(pT_1,T).6 - => f(0,T).6 a o.px"1 aXt)l = f(c,x).taT. Conversely, if we start with the free E-module over the set ^t^ / o £ g } indexed by G and define: xt^.yt^ = x.y°.f (o,x) .t0T ( V x , y £ E ; \/o ,t £G) the associative property of f assures us, as in the classi­ cal case, that we obtain a well defined structure of F-alge- bras over that module. Since this structure is clearly isomor­ phic to what we called A(f,E,G)t this is also an F-algebra. More generally, we will say that an F-algebra A is a crossed product A(f,E,G) if it is isomorphic to the one constructed above. Up to isomorphism, as in the classical case, a crossed prod­ uct A(f»E,G) does not depend on the 2-cocycle f but on the class [f] of the second cohomology group which is repre­ sented by f. If an F-algebra A is a crossed product A(i»E,G), there is a basis -{t } e G of the E-module A with the properties: A = © E.t a £G 0 xt^.yt^ = x.ya .f(o,T).tci; ( Vx,y 6 E;\f o ,t 6 G) We will say that such a basis is a natural E-basis for the crossed product A. We say that a 2-cocycle g: GxG --- > U(E) is normalized when it happens that g(l,o) = 1 = g(o,l), for all a in G. From the associative property of cocycles it follows in general that f(l,0) » f(l,l) and f(o,l) = fCl,!)** (Vc€G). Hence, a 2-cocycle f is normalized if and only if f(l,l)=l. It is immediate to check that, given the cocycle f, the func­ tion: 5 / \ f(o.T) g(<J,T) = --- is again a 2-cocycle equivalent to f which is obviously nor­ malized.

  • A New Characterization of the Tate-Shafarevich Group
    Master Thesis in Mathematics Advisor: Prof. Ehud De Shalit Arithmetic of Abelian Varieties over Number Fields: A New Characterization of the Tate-Shafarevich Group Menny Aka June 2007 To Nili King 2 Acknowledgments This thesis is the culmination of my studies in the framework of the AL- GANT program. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who have helped me over the past two years. First, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Professor Ehud De Shalit, for teaching me so many things, referring me to the ALGANT program and for the wonderful guid- ance he provided in preparing this thesis. I want to thank Professor Bas Edixhoven, for his oce that is always open, for teaching me all the alge- braic geometry I know and for all the help he gave me in the rst year of the program in Leiden. I also want to thank Professor Boas Erez for the great help and exibility along the way. With the help of these people, the last two years were especially enriching, in the mathematical aspect and in the other aspects of life. Introduction This thesis was prepared for the ALGANT program which focuses on the syn- thesis of ALgebra Geometry And Number Theory. The subject of this thesis shows the various inter-relations between these elds. The Tate-Shafarevich group is a number theoretic object that is attached to a geometric object (an Abelian variety). Our new characterization is a geometric one, and its proof is mainly algebraic, using Galois cohomology and theorems from class eld theory.

The equivalence classes of such extension are grouped into those corresponding to a class of so-called smooth outer actions S of G on N. If S is given, we show that the corresponding set Ext(G, N)S of extension classes is a principal homogeneous space of the locally 2 smooth cohomology group Hss(G, Z(N))S .

  • Some Algebraic Applications of Graded Categorical Group Theory
    Theory and Applications of Categories, Vol. 11, No. 10, 2003, pp. 215–251. SOME ALGEBRAIC APPLICATIONS OF GRADED CATEGORICAL GROUP THEORY A.M. CEGARRA AND A.R. GARZON´ ABSTRACT. The homotopy classification of graded categorical groups and their homo- morphisms is applied, in this paper, to obtain appropriate treatments for diverse crossed product constructions with operators which appear in several algebraic contexts. Precise classification theorems are therefore stated for equivariant extensions by groups either of monoids, or groups, or rings, or rings-groups or algebras as well as for graded Clif- ford systems with operators, equivariant Azumaya algebras over Galois extensions of commutative rings and for strongly graded bialgebras and Hopf algebras with operators. These specialized classifications follow from the theory of graded categorical groups after identifying, in each case, adequate systems of factor sets with graded monoidal functors to suitable graded categorical groups associated to the structure dealt with. 1. Introduction Graded categorical groups provide a suitable categorical setting for the treatment of an extensive list of subjects with recognized mathematical interest. Let us briefly recall that, if Γ is a group, then a Γ-graded categorical group is a groupoid G equipped with a grading functor gr : G → Γ and with a graded monoidal structure, by graded functors ⊗ G × G → G → G : Γ and I :Γ , such that for each object X, there is an object X with a 1-graded arrow X ⊗ X → I (see Section 2 for the details). These graded categorical groups were originally considered by Fr¨ohlich and Wall in [20] to study Brauer groups in equivariant situations (see also [18, 19, 21]).
