On Galois–Gauss sumsand the square root of the inverse different
Tom 209 / 2023
Streszczenie
We discuss a possible generalisation of a conjecture of Bley, Burns and Hahn concerning the relation between the second Adams-operator twisted Galois–Gauss sums of weakly ramified Artin characters and the square root of the inverse different of finite, odd degree, Galois extensions of number fields, to the setting of all finite Galois extensions of number fields for which a square root of the inverse different exists. We also extend the key methods and results of Bley, Burns and Hahn to this more general setting and, by combining these methods with a recent result of Agboola, Burns, Caputo and the present author concerning Artin root numbers of twisted irreducible symplectic characters, we provide new insight into a conjecture of Erez concerning the Galois structure of the square root of the inverse different.
