Artin's Conjecture on Primitive Roots states that a non-square nonunit integer $a$ is a primitive root modulo $p$ for the positive proportion of $p$. This conjecture remains open, but on average, there are many results due to P. J.…

In 2003, H\'{e}thelyi and K\"{u}lshammer proposed that if $G$ is a finite group and $p$ is a prime dividing the group order, then $k(G)\geq 2\sqrt{p-1}$, and they proved this conjecture for solvable $G$ and showed that it is sharp for those…

We derive, for all prime moduli p except those in a very thin set, an upper bound for the least prime primitive root (mod p) of order of magnitude a constant power of log p. The improvement over previous results, where the upper bound was…

Let $L/K$ be a Galois extension of number fields and let $G=\mathrm{Gal}(L/K)$. We show that under certain hypotheses on $G$, for a fixed prime number $p$, Leopoldt's conjecture at $p$ for certain proper intermediate fields of $L/K$ implies…

Let $k \geq 1$ be a cube-free integer with $k \equiv 1 \pmod {9}$ and $\gcd(k, 7\cdot 571)=1$. In this paper, we prove the existence of infinitely many triples of imaginary quadratic fields $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d})$, $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d+1})$…

Let $d$ be an odd square-free integer and $\zeta_8$ a primitive $8$-th root of unity. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the rank of the $2$-class group of the fields $L_d=\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_8,\sqrt{d})$.

Let $p\geq 3$ be a prime number. In this article, we study the canonical expansion of the primitive $p^n$-th root of unity $\zeta_{p^n}$ in $p$-adic Mal'cev-Neumann field $\mathbb{L}_p$ for $n\geq 1$. More precisely, we give the explicit…

Kummer's conjecture predicts the asymptotic growth of the relative class number of prime cyclotomic fields. We substantially improve the known bounds of Kummer's ratio under three scenarios: no Siegel zero, presence of Siegel zero and…

Let $p$ be a prime number and $\zeta_p$ be a primitive $p$-th root of unity in $\bm{C}$. Let $k$ be a field and $k(x_0,\ldots,x_{p-1})$ be the rational function field of $p$ variables over $k$. Suppose that $G=\langle\sigma\rangle \simeq…

We propose a conjecture extending the classical construction of elliptic units to complex cubic number fields $K$. The conjecture concerns special values of the elliptic gamma function, a holomorphic function of three complex variables…

The Tate conjecture for divisors on varieties over number fields is equivalent to finiteness of $\ell$-primary torsion in the Brauer group. We show that this finiteness is actually uniform in one-dimensional families for varieties that…

For fixed $q\in\{3,7,11,19, 43,67,163\}$, we consider the density of primes $p$ congruent to $1$ modulo $4$ such that the class group of the number field $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-qp})$ has order divisible by $16$. We show that this density is…

Let $l$ be a rational prime greater than or equal to $3$ and $k$ be a given positive integer. Under a conjecture due to Langland and an assumption on upper bound for the regulator of fields of the form $\mathbb{Q}\left(\sqrt[l]a\right)$, we…

Let p be an odd prime. Let K = \Q(zeta) be the p-cyclotomic number field. Let v be a primitive root mod p and sigma : zeta --> zeta^v be a \Q-isomorphism of the extension K/\Q generating the Galois group G of K/\Q. For n in Z, the notation…

This paper presents an analysis of primitive permutation groups of degree $3p$, where $p$ is a prime number, analogous to H. Wielandt's treatment of groups of degree $2p$. It is also intended as an example of the systematic use of…

In 1977 Kervaire and Murthy presented three conjectures regarding $K_0 \mathbb{Z} C_{p^n}$, where $C_{p^n}$ is the cyclic group of order $p^n$ and $p$ is a semi-regular prime. The Mayer-Vietoris exact sequence provides the following short…

Let $p>3$ be a prime. Gauss first introduced the polynomial $S_p(x)=\prod_{c}(x-\zeta_p^c),$ where $0<c<p$ and $c$ varies over all quadratic residues modulo $p$ and $\zeta_p=e^{2\pi i/p}$. Later Dirichlet investigated this polynomial and…

Let $p$ be a prime number such that $p=2$ or $p\equiv 1\pmod 4$. Let $\varepsilon_p$ denote the fundamental unit of $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{p})$ and let $a$ be a positive square-free integer. The main aim of this paper is to determine explicitly…
