Algebraic number theory
Most of my research concerns invariants associated with representations of Galois groups of p-adic fields and algebraic number fields. These invariants, though of an arithmetic nature, are related to classical invariants arising in complex algebraic geometry; their study should shed light on geometric aspects of equations over number fields or p-adic fields. Recently, I have studied families of Galois representations depending analytically on p-adic parameters, and how the invariants for such families change with the parameters. Techniques from p-adic analytic function theory and functional analysis have proved useful in this connection.
