In the mid 80's Conner and Perlis showed that for cyclic number fields of prime degree $p$ the isometry class of integral trace is completely determined by the discriminant. Here we generalize their result to tame cyclic number fields of…

It follows from generalities of quadratic forms that the spinor class of the integral trace of a number field determines the signature and the discriminant of the field. In this paper we define a family of number fields, that contains among…

In 2012 the first named author conjectured that totally real quartic fields of fundamental discriminant are determined by the isometry class of the integral trace zero form; such conjecture was based on computational evidence and the analog…

Let $K$ be a number field. The \textit{integral trace form} is the integral quadratic form given by $\text{tr}_{K/\mathbb{Q}}(x^2)|_{O_{K}}.$ In this article we study the existence of non-conjugated number fields with equivalent integral…

The shape of a number field $K$ of degree $n$ is defined as the equivalence class of the lattice of integers with respect to linear operations that are composites of rotations, reflections, and positive scalar dilations. The shape is a…

Let $K$ be a number field, which is tame and non totally real. In this article we give a numerical criterion, depending only on the ramification behavior of ramified primes in $K$, to decide whether or not the integral trace of $K$ is…

In the past the first named author has studied to what extent the integral trace can characterize a number field beyond what the discriminant does. The cases of cyclic number fields and non-totally real fields are more or less settled,…

A number field $k$ admits a binary integral quadratic form which represents all integers locally but not globally if and only if the class number of $k$ is bigger than one. In this case, there are only finitely many classes of such binary…

We determine the shapes of pure cubic fields and show that they fall into two families based on whether the field is wildly or tamely ramified (of Type I or Type II in the sense of Dedekind). We show that the shapes of Type I fields are…

This paper concerns the \textbf{abstract geometry of numbers}: namely the pursuit of certain aspects of geometry of numbers over a suitable class of normed domains. (The standard geometry of numbers is then viewed as geometry of numbers…

We define the cyclic matching sequencibility of a graph to be the largest integer $d$ such that there exists a cyclic ordering of its edges so that every $d$ consecutive edges in the cyclic ordering form a matching. We show that the cyclic…

We consider indecomposable representations of the Klein four group over a field of characteristic $2$ and of a cyclic group of order $pm$ with $p,m$ coprime over a field of characteristic $p$. For each representation we explicitly describe…

For any separated algebraic space $X/S$ we construct a separated algebraic space $\Gamma^d(X/S)$ -- the space of divided powers -- which parameterizes zero cycles of degree $d$ on $X$. The space of divided powers for an affine scheme is…

For $p$ prime and $\ell = \frac{p-1}{2}$, we show that the shapes of pure prime degree number fields lie on one of two $\ell$-dimensional subspaces of the space of shapes, and which of the two subspaces is dictated by whether or not $p$…

For cyclic totally real number fields $K$ with odd prime degree $n$, odd class number, $2$ inert, and the property that every totally positive unit is a square, the density of rational primes $p$ that satisfy the spin relation…

The shape of a number field $K$ of degree $n$ is defined as the equivalence class of the lattice of integers under linear operations generated by rotations, reflections, and positive scalar dilations. It may be viewed as a point in the…

Let $F$ be a totally real number field of class number one, and let $K$ be a CM-field with $F$ as its maximal real subfield. For each positive integer $N$, we construct a class group of certain binary quadratic forms over $F$ which is…

A rational positive-definite quadratic form is perfect if it can be reconstructed from the knowledge of its minimal nonzero value m and the finite set of integral vectors v such that f(v) = m. This concept was introduced by Voronoi and…

Every quadratic form represents 0; therefore, if we take any number of quadratic forms and ask which integers are simultaneously represented by all members of the collection, we are guaranteed a nonempty set. But when is that set more than…

We study cliques in graphs arising from quadratic forms where the vertices are the elements of the module of the quadratic form and two vertices are adjacent if their difference represents some fixed scalar. We determine structural…
