We study arithmetic progressions of squares over quadratic extensions of number fields. Using a method inspired by an approach of Mordell, we characterize such progressions as quadratic points on a genus $5$ curve. Specifically, we…
Let $P(X)\in\mathbb{Z}[X]$ be an irreducible, monic, quartic polynomial with cyclic or dihedral Galois group. We prove that there exists a constant $c_P>0$ such that for a positive proportion of integers $n$, $P(n)$ has a prime factor $\ge…
We exhibit, for n at least 5, infinitely many quadratic number fields admitting unramified degree n extensions with prescribed signature whose normal closures have Galois group A_n. This generalizes a result of Uchida and Yamamoto, which…
We introduce the universal unitarily graded A-algebra for a commutative ring A and an arbitrary abelian extension U of the group of units of A, and use this concept to give simplified proofs of the main theorems of co-Galois theory in the…
Let $K$ be a number field, $A/K$ be an absolutely simple abelian variety of CM type, and $\ell$ be a prime number. We give explicit bounds on the degree over $K$ of the division fields $K(A[\ell^n])$, and when $A$ is an elliptic curve we…
We show that semigroup C*-algebras attached to ax+b-semigroups over rings of integers determine number fields up to arithmetic equivalence, under the assumption that the number fields have the same number of roots of unity. For finite…
The conjecture due to Bertrand and Rodriguez Villegas asserts that the 1-norm of the nonzero element in an exterior power of the units of a number field has a certain lower bound. For the exterior square case of totally real quartic…
We study the counting function of cubic function fields. Specifically, we derive an asymptotic formula for this counting function including a secondary term and an error term of order $\mathcal{O}\big(X^{2/3+\epsilon}\big)$, which matches…
We obtain an asymptotic formula for the fourth moment of quadratic Dirichlet $L$--functions over $\mathbb{F}_q[x]$, as the base field $\mathbb{F}_q$ is fixed and the genus of the family goes to infinity. According to conjectures of Andrade…
In an earlier paper it was proved that if a differential field $(K,\delta)$ is algebraically closed and closed under Picard-Vessiot extensions then every differential algebraic principal homogeneous space over K for a linear differential…
Amoroso and Masser proved that for every real $\epsilon > 0$, there exists a constant $c(\epsilon)>0$, such that for every algebraic number $\alpha$ with $\mathbb{Q}(\alpha)/\mathbb{Q}$ being a Galois extension, the height of $\alpha$ is…
For a prime number $\ell$ and an extension of number fields $K/F$, we prove new lower bounds on the $\ell$-rank of the ideal class group of $K$ based on prime ramification in $K/F$. Unlike related results from the literature, our bound is…
A set $\{a, b, c, d\}$ of four non-zero distinct polynomials in $\mathbb{Z}[i][X]$ is said to be a Diophantine $D(4)$-quadruple if the product of any two of its distinct elements increased by 4 is a square of some polynomial in…
The aim of the paper is to introduce B-extensions which are the most symmetrical finite field extensions (a finite field extension $L/K$ is called a {\it B-extension} if the endomorphism algebra ${\rm End}_K(L)$ is generated by the algebra…
We show that for any square-free natural number $n$ and any global field $K$ with $(\text{char}(K), n)=1$ containing the $n$th roots of unity, the pairs $(x,y)\in K^*\times K^*$ such that $x$ is not a norm of $K(\sqrt[n]{y})/K$ form a…
Let $K$ be a number field with ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_K$. Let $\mathcal{N}_K$ be the set of positive integers $n$ such that there exist units $\varepsilon, \delta \in \mathcal{O}_K^\times$ satisfying $\varepsilon + \delta = n$. We…

For any integer $l\geq 1$, let $p_1, p_2, \ldots, p_{l+2}$ be distinct prime numbers $\geq 5.$ For all real numbers $X>1,$ we let $N_{3,l}(X)$ denote the number of real quadratic fields $K$ whose absolute discriminant $d_K\leq X$ and $d_K$…
Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH), we show that the norm-Euclidean Galois cubic fields are exactly those with discriminant $\Delta=7^2,9^2,13^2,19^2,31^2,37^2,43^2,61^2,67^2,103^2,109^2,127^2,157^2$. A large part of the…
We study quadratic forms that can occur as trace forms of Galois field extensions L/K, under the assumption that K contains a primitive 4th root of unity. M. Epkenhans conjectured that any such form is a scaled Pfister form. We prove this…
