The trace form over cyclic number fields

Number Theory 2023-06-22 v3

Abstract

In the mid 80's Conner and Perlis showed that for cyclic number fields of prime degree pp the isometry class of integral trace is completely determined by the discriminant. Here we generalize their result to tame cyclic number fields of arbitrary degree. Furthermore, for such fields, we give an explicit description of a Gram matrix of the integral trace in terms of the discriminant of the field.
