Let $K$ be a real quadratic field and let $p$ be a prime number which is inert in $K$. Let $K_p$ be the completion of $K$ at $p$. In a previous paper, we constructed a $p$-adic invariant $u_C\in K_p$, and we proved a $p$-adic Kronecker…

Primitive roots of 1 mod p^k (k>2 and odd prime p) are sought, in cyclic units group G_k = A_k B_k mod p^k, coprime to p, of order (p-1)p^{k-1}. 'Core' subgroup A_k has order p-1 independent of k, and p+1 generates 'extension' subgroup B_k…

In this paper, we prove the existence of a relation between the prime divisors of the order of a Sylow normalizer and the degree of characters having values in some small cyclotomic fields. This relation is stronger when the group is…

Let $\zeta_k$ be a $k$-th primitive root of unity, $m\geq\phi(k)+1$ an integer and $\Phi_k(X)\in\mathbb Z [X]$ the $k$-th cyclotomic polynomial. In this paper we show that the pair $(-m+\zeta_k,\mathcal N)$ is a canonical number system,…

Suppose that $ m\equiv 1\mod 4 $ is a prime and that $ n\equiv 3\mod 4 $ is a primitive root modulo $ m $. In this paper we obtain a relation between the class number of the imaginary quadratic field $ \Q(\sqrt{-nm}) $ and the digits of the…

We prove a characteristic $p$ version of a theorem of Silverman on integral points in orbits over number fields and establish a primitive prime divisor theorem for polynomials in this setting. We provide some applications of these results,…

Let E be a real quadratic field with discriminant d and let p be an odd prime not dividing d. For \rho=1 or -1, we determine $\prod_{0<c<d, (d/c)=\rho} binomial coeff.{p-1}{\lfloor pc/d\rfloor}$ modulo p^2 in terms of Lucas numbers, the…

We classify the parabolic unitals in regular nearfield planes of odd order $q^2$ whose linear collineation group has the maximal size of $q^3-q$. We also establish a number of more general results concerning parabolic unitals in regular…

We get some results about the factorization of $\phi_p(M) \in {\mathbb{F}}_2[x]$, where $p$ is a prime number, $\phi_p$ is the corresponding cyclotomic polynomial and $M$ is a Mersenne prime (polynomial). By the way, we better understand…

We describe first-degree prime ideals of biquadratic extensions in terms of first-degree prime ideals of two underlying quadratic fields. The identification of the prime divisors is given by numerical conditions involving their ideal norms.…

Let p and r be two primes and n, m be two distinct divisors of pr. Consider the n-th and m-th cyclotomic polynomials. In this paper, we present lower and upper bounds for the coefficients of the inverse of one of them modulo the other one.…

We use only addition and multiplication to construct the primitive roots of $p^{k+1}$ from the primitive roots of $p^{k}$, where $p$ is an odd prime and $k$ is at least 2.

Taking a combinatorial point of view on cyclotomic polynomials leads to a larger class of polynomials we shall call the inclusion-exclusion polynomials. This gives a more appropriate setting for certain types of questions about the…

Surprisingly, the class numbers of cyclotomic fields have only been determined for fields of small conductor, e.g. for prime conductors up to 67, due to the problem of finding the "plus part," i.e. the class number of the maximal real…

Fixed point ratios for primitive permutation groups have been extensively studied. Relying on a recent work of Burness and Guralnick, we obtain further results in the area. For a prime $p$ and a finite group $G$, we use fixed point ratios…

Based on recent successes concerning permutation resolutions of representations by Balmer and Gallauer we define a new invariant of finite groups: the p-permutation dimension. We define this analogously to the global dimension of a ring by…

We determine the mod-p cohomology rings of an infinite family of p-groups, for odd primes p, with cyclic derived subgroups. Our method involves embedding the groups in a compact Lie group of dimension one, and was suggested by P. H.…

It is well known that sin(a\pi/b), cos(a\pi/b), etc., are only rational numbers for a few select integers a and b. We show that this is equivalent to the fact that only for d = 1,2,3,4, and 6 is the primitive dth root of unity of degree 2…

We investigate the finite subgroups that occur in the Hamiltonian quaternion algebra over the real subfield of cyclotomic fields. When possible, we investigate their distribution among the maximal orders.

We deduce the cyclotomic Iwasawa main conjecture for Hilbert modular cuspforms with complex multiplication from the multivariable main conjecture for CM number fields. To this end, we study in detail the behaviour of the $p$-adic…
