Information about the absolute Galois group GK of a number field K is encoded in how it acts on the étale fundamental group π of a curve X defined over K. In the case that K = ℚ(ζn) is the cyclotomic field and X is the Fermat curve of degree n ≥ 3, Anderso ...

We use recent duality results of Eisenbud and Ulrich to give tools to study quadratically enriched residual intersections when there is no excess bundle. We use this to prove a formula for the Witt-valued Euler number of an almost complete intersection. We ...

We equate various Euler classes of algebraic vector bundles, including those of [12] and one suggested by M. J. Hopkins, A. Raksit, and J.-P. Serre. We establish integrality results for this Euler class and give formulas for local indices at isolated zeros ...

Given a polynomial function with an isolated zero at the origin, we prove that the local A1-Brouwer degree equals the Eisenbud-Khimshiashvili-Levine class. This answers a question posed by David Eisenbud in 1978. We give an application to counting nodes, t ...
