Abstract

We will consider a totally real Galois field KK of degree 4 as the linear coordinate space Q4R4\mathbb{Q}^4\subset\mathbb{R}^4. An element kKk\in K is called strictly positive, if all its conjugates are positive. The set of strictly positive elements is a convex cone in KK. The convex hull of strictly positive integral elements is a convex subset of this cone and its boundary Γ\Gamma is an infinite union of 3-dimensional polyhedrons. The group UU of strictly positive units acts on Γ\Gamma: the action of a strictly positive unit permutes polyhedrons. Fundamental domains of this action are the object of study in this work. We mainly present some interesting examples.
