We prove that there are >>X^{1/30}/(log X) imaginary quadratic number fields with an ideal class group of 3-rank at least 5 and discriminant bounded in absolute value by X. This improves on an earlier result of Craig, who proved the…
For a number field K and a prime number p we denote by BP\_K the compositum of the cyclic p-extensions of K embeddable in a cyclic p-extension of arbitrary large degree. Then BP\_K is p-ramified (= unramified outside p) and is a finite…
The P\'{o}lya group of an algebraic number field is the subgroup generated by the ideal classes of the products of prime ideals of equal norm inside the ideal class group. Inspired by a recent work on consecutive quadratic fields with large…
In this paper, we calculate the unit groups and the $2$-class numbers of the fields $ \mathbb{K}= \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2}, \sqrt{p_1}, \sqrt{p_2})$ and $ \mathbb{L}= \mathbb{Q}( \sqrt{-1},\sqrt{2}, \sqrt{p_1}, \sqrt{p_2})$, where $p_1$ and…
We give the complete proof of a conjecture of Georges Gras which claims that, for any extension $K/k$ of number fields in which at least one infinite place is totally split, every ideal $I$ of $K$ principalizes in the compositum $Kk^{ab}$…
Let $K$ be a number field with the discriminant $D_K$ and the class number $h_{K}$, which has bounded degree over $\mathbb{Q}$. By assuming GRH, we prove that every ideal class of $K$ contains a prime ideal with norm less than…
Let $p$ be a prime number. If a number field $k$ has at least one complex place, there are infinitely many $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extensions over $k$, and some authors studied the behavior of Iwasawa invariants of these $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extensions.…
Let $K$ be a totally real number field and let $B$ be a totally definite quaternion algebra over $K$. In this article, given a set of representatives for ideal classes for a maximal order in $B$, we show how to construct in an efficient way…
In \cite{BigAlg-3gen}, an explicit description of bi-quadratic algebras on three generators with PBW basis was obtained. There are four classes: I-IV. The aim of the paper is to study algebras that belong to one of the classes: class II.1.…
Let $K=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[4]{pd^{2}})$ be a real pure quartic number field and $k=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{p})$ its real quadratic subfield, where $p\equiv 5\pmod 8$ is a prime integer and $d$ an odd square-free integer coprime to $p$. In this work,…
The main purpose of this paper is to find all the prime numbers p for which whenever we add to p an odd square less than p we obtain a number which has at most two different prime factors. We solve completely the cases $p\equiv 1,3,5 \pmod…
Let p be an odd prime. Let F_p^* be the no-null part of the finite field of p elements. Let K=\Q(zeta) be a p-cyclotomic field and O_K be its ring of integers. Let pi be the prime ideal of K lying over p. Let sigma : zeta --> zeta^v be the…
We fill the gaps in A. Gica's determination of all the odd positive integers $d$ for which the number of distinct prime divisors of $f_d(x)=d+x^2$ is less than or equal to $2$ for all the positive and odd integers $x\leq\sqrt{d}$. We also…
The classification of maximal function fields over a finite field is a difficult open problem, and even determining isomorphism classes among known function fields is challenging in general. We study a particular family of maximal function…
Let p be a prime number which is split in an imaginary quadratic field k. Let \mathfrak{p} be a place of k above p. Let k_\infty be the unique Z_p-extension of k which unramified outside of \mathfrak{p}, and let K_\intfy be a finite…
Let $R$ be a semilocal principal ideal domain. Two algebraic objects over $R$ in which scalar extension makes sense (e.g. quadratic spaces) are said to be of the same genus if they become isomorphic after extending scalars to all…
Here we study algebraic function fields K, give necessary and sufficient condition for the ideal class group $H(K)$ of any real quadratic function field $K$ to have a cyclic subgroup of order $n$, and obtain eight series of such fields $K$,…
We deduce a formula enumerating the isomorphism classes of extensions of a $\kp$-adic field $K$ with given ramification $e$ and inertia $f$. The formula follows from a simple group-theoretic lemma, plus the Krasner formula and an elementary…
Let $K$ be a multiquadratic extension of $\mathbb{Q}$ and let $\text{Cl}^{+}(K)$ be its narrow class group. Recently, the authors \cite{KP} gave a bound for $|\text{Cl}^{+}(K)[2]|$ only in terms of the degree of $K$ and the number of…
The Steinitz class of a number field extension K/k is an ideal class in the ring of integers O_k of k, which, together with the degree [K:k] of the extension determines the O_k-module structure of O_K. We call rt(k,G) the classes which are…
