This paper studies Galois extensions over real quadratic number fields or cyclotomic number fields ramified only at one prime. In both cases, the ray class groups are computed, and they give restrictions on the finite groups that can occur…
For any prime number p and any positive real number {\alpha}, we construct a finitely generated group {\Gamma} with p-gradient equal to {\alpha}. This construction is used to show that there exist uncountably many pairwise non-commensurable…
In \cite{[NE]} we introduce $\alpha$-expansions a real numbers in $(0,1]$, given by \[ \sum_{i=1}^{\infty}(\alpha-1)^{i-1}\alpha^{-(d_{1}+\dots+d_{i})}\] with $\alpha>1$ and $d_{i}\in\mathbb{N}$ and discuss ergodic theoretical and dimension…
Let F/k be a finite abelian extension of global function fields, totally split at a distinguished place \infty. We prove that a complex Gras conjecture holds for a suitable group of Stark units, and we derive a refined analytic class number…
Let p be a prime and suppose that K/F is a cyclic extension of degree p^n with group G. Let J be the F_pG-module K^*/K^{*p} of pth-power classes. In our previous paper we established precise conditions for J to contain an indecomposable…
We construct an infinite family of real cyclotomic fields with non-trivial class group. This result generalizes the result in [1] in the sense that our family includes theirs.
Studying expressions of the form $(f(x)D)^p$, where $D={\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}}$ is the derivative operator, goes back to Scherk's Ph.D. thesis in 1823. We show that this can be extended as ${\displaystyle\sum \gamma_{p;a}…
We improve a result of H. L. Montgomery and J. P. Weinberger by establishing the existence of infinitely many fundamental discriminants $d>0$ for which the class number of the real quadratic field $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d})$ exeeds…
We study the capitulation of $2$-ideal classes of an infinite family of imaginary bicyclic biquadratic number fields consisting of fields $\mathbf{k} =\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{p_1p_2q}, i)$, where $i=\sqrt{-1}$ and $p_1\equiv p_2\equiv-q\equiv1…
In this article, the standard correspondence between the ideal class group of a quadratic number field and the equivalence classes of binary quadratic forms of given discriminant is generalized to any base number field of narrow class…
Let $q$ be a power of a prime number $p$, $k=\mathbb{F}_{q}(t)$ be the rational function field over finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ and $K/k$ be a multi-cyclic extension of prime degree. In this paper we will give an exact formula for the…
Let $p$ be a prime $\equiv 3$ mod 4, $p>3$, and suppose that 10 has the order $(p-1)/2$ mod p. Then $1/p$ has a decimal period of length $(p-1)/2$. We express the frequency of each digit $0,\ldots,9$ in this period in terms of the class…
Let $k$ be any number field and $k_{\infty}/k$ any $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extension. We construct a natural $\Lambda= \mathbb{Z}_p[[ T-1 ]]$-morphism from $\varprojlim k_n^{\times} \otimes_{\mathbb{Z}} \mathbb{Z}_p$ into a special subset of…
This paper provides two characterizations of the primitive roots of unity in quadratic cyclotomic extensions over arbitrary fields. Firstly, we introduce a mapping from $\mathbb{N}$ to $\mathbb{N}$ crucial for describing these roots,…
We prove that for any given positive integer $\ell$ there are infinitely many imaginary quadratic fields with 2-class group of type $(2,2^\ell)$, and provide a lower bound for the number of such groups with bounded discriminant for…
Fix two distinct odd primes $p$ and $q$. We study "$p\ne q$" Iwasawa theory in two different settings. Let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field of class number 1 such that both $p$ and $q$ split in $K$. We show that under appropriate…
In his work about Galois representations, Greenberg conjectured the existence, for any odd prime p and any positive integer t, of a multiquadratic p-rational number field of degree 2 t. In this article, we prove that there exists infinitely…
We investigate bicomplex analogues of fundamental notions from classical algebraic number theory. In particular, we show that the primitive element theorem admits a natural generalization to bicomplex extensions, giving rise to two distinct…
In this paper, we determine the 2-rank of the class group of certain classes of real cyclic quartic number fields. Precisely, we consider the case in which the quadratic subfield is Q(\sqrt{l}) with l=2 or a prime congruent to 1 mod 8.
For certain types of quadratic forms lying in the n-th power of the fundamental ideal, we compute upper bounds and where possible exact values for the minimal number of general n-fold Pfister forms, that are needed to write the Witt class…
