Assistant Professor of Mathematics Chad Awtrey has published a research paper in the current volume of the Houston Journal of Mathematics.

The results represented in this article are part of Awtrey’s ongoing research program in p-adic number theory that aims to completely classify arithmetic properties of the p-adic numbers and their extensions. The contents of this research paper detail a new approach for determining the number of extensions of the p-adic numbers with a specified Galois group (an object of extreme arithmetic importance).
This research was supported in part by the New Faculty Summer Funding program and by a departmental course reassignment fellowship.
