Abstract

Let K be a Galois number field of prime degree \ell. Heilbronn showed that for a given \ell there are only finitely many such fields that are norm-Euclidean. In the case of =2\ell=2 all such norm-Euclidean fields have been identified, but for 2\ell\neq 2, little else is known. We give the first upper bounds on the discriminants of such fields when >2\ell>2. Our methods lead to a simple algorithm which allows one to generate a list of candidate norm-Euclidean fields up to a given discriminant, and we provide some computational results.
