Lower order terms in the shape of cubic fields

Number Theory 2024-09-16 v1

Abstract

We demonstrate equidistribution of the lattice shape of cubic fields when ordered by discriminant, giving an estimate in the Eisenstein series spectrum with a lower order main term. The analysis gives a separate discussion of the contributions of reducible and irreducible binary cubic forms, following a method of Shintani. Our work answers a question posed at the American Institute of Math by giving a precise geometric and spectral description of an evident barrier to equidistribution in the lattice shape.
