Let $p_1\equiv p_2\equiv -q\equiv1 \pmod4$ be different primes such that $\displaystyle\left(\frac{2}{p_1}\right)= \displaystyle\left(\frac{2}{p_2}\right)=\displaystyle\left(\frac{p_1}{q}\right)=\displaystyle\left(\frac{p_2}{q}\right)=-1$.…

A formula for the class number $h$ of the imaginary quadratic field $Q(\sqrt{-p}$ is obtained by counting on a specific way the quadratic residues of a prime number of the form $p=4n-1.$ Formulas for the sum of the quadratic residues are…

For an abelian number field K containing a primitive p-th root of unity (p an odd prime) and satisfying certain technical conditions, we parametrize the Z_p[G(K/Q)]-annihilators of the "minus" part A_K^- of the p-class group by means of…

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…

In $1801$, Gauss found an explicit description, in the language of binary quadratic forms, for the $2$-torsion of the narrow class group and dual narrow class group of a quadratic number field. This is now known as Gauss's genus theory. In…

We reduce the classification of finite extensions of function fields (of curves over finite fields) with the same class number to a finite computation; complete this computation in all cases except when both curves have base field…

Let $A$ be a real quadratic order of discriminant $p$ or $4p$ with a prime $p$. In this paper we classify all proper totally imaginary quadratic $A$-orders $B$ with index $w(B)=[B^\times: A^\times]>1$. We also calculate numerical invariants…

Let $K$ be a finite extension of the $p$-adic numbers $\mathbb Q_p$ with ring of integers $\mathcal O_K$, $\mathcal X$ a regular scheme, proper, flat, and geometrically irreducible over $\mathcal O_K$ of dimension $d$, and $\mathcal X_K$…

This thesis deals with the capitulation problem in class field theory and gives various new insights into the subject.

For any extension of commutative rings $A\subseteq B$, by using invertible ideals, we first define an Abelian group $\Cl(A,B)$, that we call the ideal class group of this extension. Then we study the main properties of this group. Among…

For each odd prime $p$, we prove the existence of infinitely many real quadratic fields which are $p$-rational. Explicit imaginary and real bi-quadratic $p$-rational fields are also given for each prime $p$. Using a recent method developed…

We compute the capitulation kernel for the module of Bertrandias-Payan in an arbitrary $\ell$-extension of number fields which satisfies the Leopoldt conjecture. As a consequence we relate the existence of extensions with trivial such…

We are interested in classical and logarithmic imaginary classes of abelian number fields in connection with Iwasawa theory. For any given odd prime ${\ell}$ and any imaginary abelian number field K, we compute the isotypic components of…

We give a new general technique for constructing and counting number fields with an ideal class group of nontrivial m-rank. Our results can be viewed as providing a way of specializing the Picard group of a variety V over $\mathbb{Q}$ to…

Let $p\equiv 1\bmod 4$ be a prime number. We use a number field variant of Vinogradov's method to prove density results about the following four arithmetic invariants: (i) $16$-rank of the class group $\mathrm{Cl}(-4p)$ of the imaginary…

Let $p$ be a prime and let $\mathbb{Q}_p$ be the field of $p$-adic numbers. It is known that the finite extensions of $\mathbb{Q}_p$ of a given degree are finite up to isomorphism. Given a cubic field extension $L$ of $\mathbb{Q}_p$…

In this paper we obtain a complete list of imaginary $n$-quadratic fields with class groups of exponent $3$ and $5$ under ERH for every positive integer $n$ where an $n$-quadratic field is a number field of degree $2^n$ represented as the…

Let $p\equiv 1\pmod{8}$ and $q\equiv7\pmod 8$ be two prime numbers. The purpose of this paper is to compute the unit group of the fields $\KK=\QQ(\sqrt 2, \sqrt{p}, \sqrt{q} )$ and give their $2$-class numbers.

Let $L/K$ be a tame and Galois extension of number fields with group $G$. It is well-known that any ambiguous ideal in $L$ is locally free over $\mathcal{O}_KG$ (of rank one), and so it defines a class in the locally free class group of…

The Main Theorem for abelian fields (often called Main Conjecture despite proofs in most cases) has a long history which has found a solution by means of "elementary arithmetic", as detailed in Washington's book from Thaine's method having…
