Let $p$ be an irregular prime. Let $K=\Q(\zeta)$ be the $p$-cyclotomic field. From Kummer and class field theory, there exist Galois extensions $S/\Q$ of degree $p(p-1)$ such that $S/K$ is a cyclic unramified extension of degree $[S:K]=p$.…

The Euler-Mascheroni constant $\gamma=0.5772\dots\!$ is the $K=\mathbb{Q}$ example of an Euler-Kronecker constant $\gamma_K$ of a number field $K.$ In this note we consider the size of the $\gamma_q=\gamma_{K_q}$ for cyclotomic fields…

Let $\Phi_{n}(q)$ denote the $n$-th cyclotomic polynomial in $q$. Recently, Guo and Schlosser [Constr. Approx. 53 (2021), 155--200] put forward the following conjecture: for an odd integer $n>1$, \begin{align*}…

In this note, we obtain an exact formula for the $q$-adic valuation of $\sigma_k(n)$ where $q$ is an odd prime, allowing us to derive an explicit upper bound which is asymptotically better than the previous bound obtained by Zhao when $n$…

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…

The author has previously extended the theory of regular and irregular primes to the setting of arbitrary totally real number fields. It has been conjectured that the Bernoulli numbers, or alternatively the values of the Riemann zeta…

Let $q = p^s$ be a power of a prime number $p$ and let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field with $q$ elements. In this paper we obtain the explicit factorization of the cyclotomic polynomial $\Phi_{2^nr}$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$ where both $r…

A unitary cyclotomic polynomial of order three is a polynomial of the form \[ \Phi^*_{PQR}(x)=\frac{(x^{PQR}-1)(x^P-1)(x^Q-1)(x^R-1)}{(x^{PQ}-1)(x^{QR}-1)(x^{RP}-1)(x-1)}, \] where $P$, $Q$ and $R$ are powers of three distinct primes $p$,…

A ternary inclusion-exclusion polynomial is a polynomial of the form \[ Q_{{p,q,r}}=\frac{(z^{pqr}-1)(z^p-1)(z^q-1)(z^r-1)} {(z^{pq}-1)(z^{qr}-1)(z^{rp}-1)(z-1)}, \] where $p$, $q$, and $r$ are integers $\ge3$ and relatively prime in pairs.…

Unit group computations are a cryptographic primitive for which one has a fast quantum algorithm, but the required number of qubits is $\tilde O(m^5)$. In this work we propose a modification of the algorithm for which the number of qubits…

We present computational results on the divisor class number and the regulator of a cubic function field over a large base field. The underlying method is based on approximations of the Euler product representation of the zeta function of…

Let $q=p^{e}$ be a prime power, $\ell$ be a prime number different from $p$, and $n$ be a positive integer divisible by neither $p$ nor $\ell$. In this paper we define the $\ell$-adic $q$-cyclotomic system $\mathcal{PC}(\ell,q,n)$ with base…

In [4] and [5], Folsom presents a family of modular units as higher-level analogues of the Rogers-Ramanujan $q$-continued fraction. These units are constructed from analytic solutions to the higher-order $q$-recurrence equations of Selberg.…

We establish a new asymptotic formula for the number of polynomials of degree $n$ with $k$ prime factors over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. The error term tends to $0$ uniformly in $n$ and in $q$, and $k$ can grow beyond $\log n$.…

The $q$-calculus for generic $q$ is developed and related to the deformed oscillator of parameter $q^{1/2}$. By passing with care to the limit in which $q$ is a root of unity, one uncovers the full algebraic structure of ${{\cal…

In this essay, we see how prime cyclotomic fields (cyclotomic fields obtained by adjoining a primitive p-th root of unity to Q, where p is an odd prime) can lead to elegant proofs of number theoretical concepts. We namely develop the notion…

Let $p$ be an odd prime, and let $\omega$ be a primitive $p$th root of unity. In this paper, we introduce a metric on the cyclotomic field $K=\mathbb{Q}(\omega)$. We prove that this metric has several remarkable properties, such as…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field of $q$ elements. In this paper we obtain bounds on the following counting problem: given a polynomial $f(x)\in \mathbb{F}_q[x]$ of degree $k+m$ and a non-negative integer $r$, count the number of…

We study generalizations of some results of Jean-Louis Nicolas regarding the relation between small values of Euler's function $\varphi(n)$ and the Riemann Hypothesis. Among other things, we prove that for $1\leq q\leq 10$ and for $q=12,…
