Given a fixed quadratic extension K of Q, we consider the distribution of elements in K of norm 1 (denoted N). When K is an imaginary quadratic extension, N is naturally embedded in the unit circle in C and we show that it is…

We study the distribution of extensions of a number field $k$ with fixed abelian Galois group $G$, from which a given finite set of elements of $k$ are norms. In particular, we show the existence of such extensions. Along the way, we show…

Let k be a number field and K/k Galois. We transform the construction of the unramified Brauer group of the norm one torus R^1_K/k(G_m) into the construction of a special abelian extension over K. If k=Q and K/Q biquadratic, we explicitly…

Let k be a field of characteristic 2 and let L/k be a finite Galois extension with Galois group G. We show the equivalence of the following two properties: (*) The group G is generated by elements of order 2 and by elements of odd order.…

We give a simple derivation of the formula for the number of normal elements in an extension of finite fields. Our proof is based on the fact that units in the Galois group ring of a field extension act simply transitively on normal…

For a number field $K$ let $\mathcal{S}_K$ be the maximal subgroup of the multiplicative group $K^\times$ that embeds into the unit circle under each embedding of $K$ into the complex numbers. The group $\mathcal{S}_K$ can be seen as an…

We study whether the norm one torus associated with a finite separable non-Galois field extension $K/k$ is $p$-retract rational over $k$ for a prime $p$, focusing on the case where the Galois group of the Galois closure of $K/k$ is either…

An important result of Bilu deals with the equidistribution of the Galois orbits of a sequence $(\alpha_n)_n$ in $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}^*$. Here, we prove a quantitative equidistribution theorem for a sequence of finite subsets in…

Let K be a finite Galois extension of Q. The normal basis theorem provides an element of K whose conjugates form a Q-basis of K. Here we obtain such an element with controlled size. This improves a recent result by Fukshansky and Jeong. By…

We consider families of exponential sums indexed by a subgroup of invertible classes modulo some prime power $q$. For fixed $d$, we restrict to moduli $q$ so that there is a unique subgroup of invertible classes modulo $q$ of order $d$. We…

The K-theory of a functor may be viewed as a relative version of the K-theory of a ring. In the case of a Galois extension of a number field F/L with rings of integers A/B respectively, this K-theory of the "norm functor" is an extension of…

We estimate several probability distributions arising from the study of random, monic polynomials of degree $n$ with coefficients in the integers of a general $p$-adic field $K_{\mathfrak{p}}$ having residue field with $q= p^f$ elements. We…

Let $G$ be a wreath product of the form $C_2 \wr H$, where $C_2$ is the cyclic group of order 2. Under mild conditions for $H$ we determine the asymptotic behavior of the counting functions for number fields $K/k$ with Galois group $G$ and…

Let $\ell$ be prime, and $K$ be a number field containing the $\ell$-th roots of unity. We use classical algebraic number theory and some analytic techniques to prove that the Steinitz classes of $\mathbb Z/\ell\mathbb Z$ extensions of $K$…

Fix a number field $K$. For each nonzero $\alpha \in \mathbb{Z}_K$, let $\nu(\alpha)$ denote the number of distinct, nonassociate irreducible divisors of $\alpha$. We show that $\nu(\alpha)$ is normally distributed with mean proportional to…

We consider the Galois group $G_2(K)$ of the maximal unramified $2$-extension of $K$ where $K/\mathbb{Q}$ is cyclic of degree $3$. We also consider the group $G^+_2(K)$ where ramification is allowed at infinity. In the spirit of the…

We compute the Z-rank of the subgroup of elements of the multiplicative group of a number field K that are norms from every finite level of the cyclotomic Z{\ell}-extension of K. Thus we compare its {\ell}-adification with the group of…

Let $L/k$ an Galois extension of number fields with Galois group isomorphic to a dihedral group of order $2n$. In this note, we give a general description of the Hasse norm principle for $L/k$ and the weak approximation for the norm one…

We study toric varieties over a field k that split in a Galois extension K/k using Galois cohomology with coefficients in the toric automorphism group. Part of this Galois cohomology fits into an exact sequence induced by the presentation…

We present a quantitative version of Bilu's theorem on the limit distribution of Galois orbits of sequences of points of small height in the $N$-dimensional algebraic torus. Our result gives, for a given point, an explicit bound for the…
