H. Lenstra has pointed out that a cubic polynomial of the form (x-a)(x-b)(x-c) + r(x-d)(x-e), where {a,b,c,d,e} is some permutation of {0,1,2,3,4}, is irreducible modulo 5 because every possible linear factor divides one summand but not the…
Let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field with discriminant $d_K\leq-7$. We deal with problems of constructing normal bases between abelian extensions of $K$ by making use of singular values of Siegel functions. First, we show that a…
For any field k of characteristic at most 5 we exhibit an explicit smooth quartic surface in projective threespace over k with trivial automorphism group over the algebraic closure of k. We also show how this can be extended to higher…
Let (k1,k2,k3,k4) be a quartet of cyclic cubic number fields sharing a common conductor c=pqr divisible by exactly three prime(power)s p,q,r. For those components k of the quartet whose 3-class group Cl(3,k) = Z/3Z x Z/3Z is elementary…
We establish an upper bound on the number of real multiquadratic fields that admit a universal quadratic lattice of a given rank, or contain a given amount of indecomposable elements modulo totally positive units, obtaining density zero…
We extend non-emtpyness and irreducibility of Hassett divisors to the moduli spaces of $M$-polarizable cubic fourfolds for higher rank lattices $M$, which in turn provides a systematic approach for describing the irreducible components of…
Let X be a K3 surface over a number field K. We prove that there exists a finite algebraic field extension L/K such that X has ordinary reduction at every non-archimedean place of L outside a density zero set of places.
Let $K $ be a septic number field generated by a complex root $\th$ of a monic irreducible trinomial $ F(x)= x^7+ax^5+b \in \Z[x]$. Let $i(K)$ be the index of $K$. In this paper, we show that $i(K) \in \{1, 2, 4\}$. In a such way, we answer…
For each real quadratic field we constructively show the existence of infinitely many exceptional quartic number fields containing that quadratic field. On the other hand, another infinite collection of quartic exceptional fields without…
Let $K$ be a number field with ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_K$ and $G$ a finite group of odd order. If $K_h$ is a weakly ramified $G$-Galois $K$-algebra, then its square root $A_h$ of the inverse different is a locally free…
The decomposition of the polynomials on the quaternionic unit sphere in $\Hd$ into irreducible modules under the action of the quaternionic unitary (symplectic) group and quaternionic scalar multiplication has been studied by several…
Let $\mathcal{\scriptstyle{O}}_K$ be the ring of integers of an imaginary quadratic number field $K$. In this paper we give a new description of the maximal discrete extension of the group $SL_2(\mathcal{\scriptstyle{O}}_K)$ inside…
This paper is purely expository. We present short elementary proofs of * the Gauss Theorem on constructibility of regular polygons; * the existence of a cubic equation unsolvable in real radicals; * the existence of a quintic equation…
The P\'olya group ${\rm Po}(K)$ of a number field $K$ is the subgroup of the ideal class group ${\rm Cl}(K)$ of $K$ generated by the classes of all the products of the prime ideals of $K$ with the same norm. Motivated by the classical "one…
Let $m$ be a square-free integer ($m\neq 0,\pm 1$). We show that the structure of the integral bases of the fields $K=Q(\sqrt[n]{m})$ are periodic in $m$. For $3\leq n\leq 9$ we show that the period length is $n^2$. We explicitly describe…
Let $A$ be a Dedekind domain, $K$ the fraction field, $\p$ a non-zero prime ideal of $A$, and $K_\pp$ the completion of $K$ with respect to the $\p$-adic topology. At the input of a monic irreducible separable polynomial, $f(x)\in A[x]$,…
We consider parabolic subgroups of a general algebraic group over an algebraically closed field $k$ whose Levi part has exactly $t$ factors. By a classical theorem of Richardson, the nilradical of a parabolic subgroup $P$ has an open dense…
We present a more general proof that cyclotomic polynomials are irreducible over Q and other number fields that meet certain conditions. The proof provides a new perspective that ties together well-known results, as well as some new…
A well known conjecture asserts that a cubic fourfold $X$ whose transcendental cohomology $T_X$ can not be realized as the transcendental cohomology of a $K3$ surface is irrational. Since the geometry of cubic fourfolds is intricately…
Let $H=H_q(n)$ be the Hecke algebra of the symmetric group of degree n, over a field of arbitrary characteristic, and where q is a primitive l-th root of unity in $K$. Let $H_{\rho}$ be an l-parabolic subalgebra of $H$. We give an…
