For a finite group $G$, let $K(G)$ denote the field generated over $\mathbb{Q}$ by its character values. For $n>24$, G. R. Robinson and J. G. Thompson proved that $$K(A_n)=\mathbb{Q}\left (\{ \sqrt{p^*} \ : \ p\leq n \ {\text{ an odd prime…

Let $p\equiv -q \equiv 5\pmod 8$ be two prime integers. In this paper, we investigate the unit groups of the fields $ L_1 =\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt 2, \sqrt{p}, \sqrt{q}, \sqrt{-1} )$ and $ L_1^+=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt 2, \sqrt{p}, \sqrt{q} )$.…

In this article, we study necessary conditions for certain square-free integers to be congruent numbers. Our method uses divisibility properties of class numbers of related imaginary quadratic fields. We first consider positive square-free…

Algebraic cycles on complex projective space P(V) are known to have beautiful and surprising properties. Therefore, when V carries a real or quaternionic structure, it is natural to ask for the properties of the groups of real or…

Let $k = \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{\alpha})$ be a real quadratic number field, where $\alpha$ is a positive square-free integer. Let $\mathcal{O}_k$ be the ring of integers of $k$. In this paper, we prove that a certain set of $2 \times 2$ singular…

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…

We realize the Pauli group $P$ as Galois group of polynomials over the rational numbers. It is shown by construction that each pure polynomial in the infinite family of the form $X^8+k^2$ for $k\neq \lambda^2, 2\lambda^2; k,\lambda \in…

Let $p$ be an odd prime, and $m,r \in \mathbb{Z}^+$ with $m$ coprime to $p$. In this paper we investigate the real quadratic fields $K = \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{m^2p^{2r} + 1})$. We first show that for $m < C$, where constant $C$ depends on $p$,…

There are well known algorithms to compute the class group of the maximal order $\mathcal{O}_K$ of a number field $K$ and the group of invertible ideal classes of a non-maximal order $R$. In this paper we explain how to compute also the…

We show that for a very general principally polarized complex abelian 3-fold, the Chow group of algebraic cycles is infinite modulo every prime number. In particular, this gives the first examples of complex varieties with infinite Chow…

We employ methods from homotopy theory to define new obstructions to solutions of embedding problems. By using these novel obstructions we study embedding problems with non-solvable kernel. We apply these obstructions to study the…

Let $K$ be a number field, and let $d\geq 2$. A conjecture of Odoni (stated more generally for characteristic zero Hilbertian fields $K$) posits that there is a monic polynomial $f\in K[x]$ of degree $d$, and a point $x_0\in K$, such that…

Using the action of the Galois group of a normal extension of number fields, we generalize and symmetrize various fundamental statements in algebra and algebraic number theory concerning splitting types of prime ideals, factorization types…

This paper introduces an archimedean, locally Cantor multi-field $\mathcal{O}_{\theta}$ which gives an analog of the $p$-adic number field at a place at infinity of a real quadratic extension $K$ of $\mathbb{Q}$. This analog is defined…

For a quadratic field K, we investigate continuous mod p representations of the absolute Galois groups of K that are unramified away from p and infinity. We prove that for certain pairs (K,p), there are no such irreducible representations.…

We prove that there are at most 13 real quadratic fields that admit a ternary universal quadratic lattice, thus establishing a strong version of Kitaoka's Conjecture for quadratic fields. More generally, we obtain explicit upper bounds on…
