Abstract
Conditionally on the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH), we prove the following results: (1) a cyclic number field of degree is norm-Euclidean if and only if ; (2) a cyclic number field of degree is norm-Euclidean if and only if ; (3) there are no norm-Euclidean cyclic number fields of degrees , , , , , , , , , , . Our proofs contain a large computational component, including the calculation of the Euclidean minimum in some cases; the correctness of these calculations does not depend upon the GRH. Finally, we improve on what is known unconditionally in the cubic case by showing that any norm-Euclidean cyclic cubic field must have conductor except possibly when .
