Soy profesora titular en el departamento de Álgebra de la Universidad de Sevilla. Mi campo de investigación es la teoría de números y la geometría aritmética. Me interesan especialmente las representaciones de Galois.
This talk addresses the problem of finding Galois extensions of the field of rational numbers with prefixed Galois group $G$, such that the decomposition group at each prime is cyclic. Such extensions are called locally cyclic. In the case when the group $G$ is solvable, it is known that there exist locally cyclic Galois extensions of $\mathbf{Q}$ with Galois group $G$. When $G$ is not solvable, the existence of these extensions is widely open. We give a construction of locally cyclic extensions with Galois group GL$(2,p)$ for each prime number $p$, using the Galois representations attached to the $p$-torsion points of elliptic curves. This is joint work with Joachim K\"{o}nig.
