We study totally real number fields that admit a universal quadratic form whose coefficients are rational integers. We show that $\mathbb Q(\sqrt 5)$ is the only such real quadratic field, and that among fields of degrees 3, 4, 5, and 7…

Let $p\equiv -q \equiv 5\pmod 8$ be two prime integers. In this paper, we investigate the unit groups of the fields $ L_1 =\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt 2, \sqrt{p}, \sqrt{q}, \sqrt{-1} )$ and $ L_1^+=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt 2, \sqrt{p}, \sqrt{q} )$.…

For a finite separable field extension K/k, all subfields can be obtained by intersecting so-called principal subfields of K/k. In this work we present a way to quickly compute these intersections. If the number of subfields is high, then…

Given a number field, it is an important question in algorithmic number theory to determine all its subfields. If the search is restricted to abelian subfields, one can try to determine them by using class field theory. For this, it is…

We prove that in each degree divisible by 2 or 3, there are infinitely many totally real number fields that require universal quadratic forms to have arbitrarily large rank.

We consider upper and lower bounds on the minimal height of an irrational number lying in a particular real quadratic field.

We classify all complex quadratic number fields with 2-class group of type (2,2^m) whose Hilbert 2-class fields have class groups of 2-rank equal to 2. These fields all have 2-class field tower of length 2. We still don't know examples of…

Let n be an odd number and F an imaginary quadratic field with odd discriminant. We show that there exists infinitely many cubic fields K such that the class number of K is divisible by n and the Galois closure of K contains F.

We determine precisely when the length of the narrow 2-class field tower is $2$ for most of those real quadratic number fields whose discriminant is not a sum of two squares and for which their 2-class groups are elementary of order $4$.

Let $C$ be a curve defined over a number field $K$. A point $P\in C(\overline{\mathbb{Q}})$ is called $K$-quadratic if $[K(P):K]=2$. Let $K$ be a number field such that the rank of the elliptic curves $E_1:\,y^2= x^3 + 4x$ and $E_2:\,y^2=…

We introduce a zeta function counting imaginary quadratic number fields by their class numbers. It is proved that such a function is rational depending only on the eight roots of unity of degrees $1$ and $2$. As a corollary, one gets a…

The goal is to obtain an asymptotic formula for the number of quadratic extensions with bounded discriminant of a some quadratic number field with odd class number. This extends an already known result for Q.
