We adapt a known technique for searching for ideal classes of arbitrary order and then apply it to three families of number fields. We show that a family of cyclic sextic number fields has infinitely many fields in it that contain a…
For an algebraic number $\alpha$ we consider the orders of the reductions of $\alpha$ in finite fields. In the case where $\alpha$ is an integer, it is known by the work on Artin's primitive root conjecture that the order is "almost always…
In this paper we consider genus one equations of degree n, namely a (generalised) binary quartic when n = 2, a ternary cubic when n = 3, and a pair of quaternary quadrics when n = 4. A new definition for the minimality of genus one…
A minimal SO(10) Higgs structure involving a single adjoint field along with spinors, vectors and singlets has been shown to break the SO(10) gauge symmetry to the standard model while stabilizing the F-flat directions and solving the…
The simplest cubic fields $\mathbb{Q}(\rho)$ are generated by a root $\rho$ of the polynomial $x^3-ax^2-(a+3)x-1$ where $a\geq -1$. In this paper, we will show that the Pythagoras number of the order $\mathbb{Z}[\rho]$ is equal to $6$ for…
We show that if there are only two Higgs doublets in the supersymmetric standard model, large $\tan\beta$ requires a fine tuning in the parameters of the Lagrangian of order ($1/\tan\beta$), which cannot be explained by any approximate…
We study properties of random subcomplexes of partitions returned by (a suitable form of) the Strong Hypergraph Regularity Lemma, which we call regular slices. We argue that these subcomplexes capture many important structural properties of…
We compute the special values of partial zeta function at $s=0$ for family of real quadratic fields $K_n$ and ray class ideals $\fb_n$ such that $\fb_n^{-1} = [1,\delta(n)]$ where the continued fraction expansion of $\delta(n)$ is purely…
Let $K$ be a field of char $K\neq 2$. For $a\in K$, we give an explicit answer to the field isomorphism problem of the simplest quartic polynomial $X^4-aX^3-6X^2+aX+1$ over $K$ as the special case of the field intersection problem via…
Let $\mathds{k}$ be a real quadratic number field. Denote by $\mathrm{Cl}_2(\mathds{k})$ its $2$-class group and by $\mathds{k}_2^{(1)}$ (resp. $\mathds{k}_2^{(2)}$) its first (resp. second) Hilbert $2$-class field. The aim of this paper is…
We prove that every rational extension of the quantum harmonic oscillator that is exactly solvable by polynomials is monodromy free, and therefore can be obtained by applying a finite number of state-deleting Darboux transformations on the…
We derive an effective dimensionally reduced theory for the Standard Model augmented by a real singlet scalar. We treat the singlet as a superheavy field and integrate it out, leaving an effective theory involving only the Higgs and…
This paper introduces two classes of totally real quartic number fields, one of biquadratic extensions and one of cyclic extensions, each of which has a non-principal Euclidean ideal. It generalizes techniques of Graves used to prove that…
By making use of our generalization of Barrucand and Cohn's theory of principal factorizations in pure cubic fields $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[3]{D})$ and their Galois closures $\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_3,\sqrt[3]{D})$ with 3 possible types to pure quintic…
This note presents Galois theory for finite fields. It was written as a handout for the MAT401 course ``Polynomial equations and fields'' taught at the University of Toronto in Spring 2026. We use without proofs some basic properties of…
Orders in number fields provide natural examples of lattices. We ask: what can the successive minima of lattices arising from orders in number fields be? Given an order $\mathcal{O}$ of absolute discriminant $\Delta$ in a degree $n$ number…
We present a method for computing complete lists of number fields in cases where the Galois group, as an abstract group, appears as a Galois group in smaller degree. We apply this method to find the twenty-five octic fields with Galois…
Let $m$ be an integer, $m\neq -8,-3,0,5$ such that $m^2+3m+9$ is square free. Let $\alpha$ be a root of \[ f=x^6-2mx^5-(5m+15)x^4-20x^3+5mx^2+(2m+6)x+1. \] The totally real cyclic fields $K=Q(\alpha)$ are called simplest sextic fields and…
In connection with Eisenstein series for the principal congruence subgroup $\Gamma(n)$, Hecke introduced certain numbers, of which he said that they are rational and cumbersome to calculate. We show, however, that these numbers are…
This paper provides a complete proof of Simon-Lukic conjecture for orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle. For a probability measure $d\mu = w(\theta) \frac{d\theta}{2\pi} + d\mu_s$ with Verblunsky coefficients…
