Rational approximations to a square root $\sqrt{k}$ can be produced by iterating the transformation $f(x) = (dx+k)/(x+d)$ starting from $\infty$ for any positive integer $d$. We show that these approximations coincide infinitely often with…

Let $D>3$, $D\equiv3\;(4)$ be a prime, and let $\mathcal{C}$ be an ideal class in the field $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-D})$. In this article, we give a new proof that $p(D,\mathcal{C})$, the smallest norm of a split prime…

We reduce the classification of finite extensions of function fields (of curves over finite fields) with the same class number to a finite computation; complete this computation in all cases except when both curves have base field…

Unit-generated orders of a quadratic field are orders of the form $\mathcal{O} = \mathbb{Z}[\varepsilon]$, where $\varepsilon$ is a unit in the quadratic field. If the order $\mathcal{O}$ is a maximal order of a real quadratic field, then…

Let $d$ be a positive fundamental discriminant, and let $\mathcal{C}_{d}$ be the set of isomorphism classes of cubic number fields of discriminant $d$. For each $K \in \mathcal{C}_{d}$, we construct a weight 1 modular form $f_{K}$ with…

We study totally real number fields that admit a universal quadratic form whose coefficients are rational integers. We show that $\mathbb Q(\sqrt 5)$ is the only such real quadratic field, and that among fields of degrees 3, 4, 5, and 7…

Let $p$ be a prime. The $2$-primary part of the class group of the pure quartic field $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[4]{p})$ has been determined by Parry and Lemmermeyer when $p \not\equiv \pm 1\bmod 16$. In this paper, we improve the known results in…

We compute the average size of $\mathrm{Cl}_F[2]$ in the family of cubic fields $F = \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[3]{n})$. Specifically, as $F$ varies over the subfamily of wildly (resp. tamely) ramified fields $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[3]{n})$, the average…

Murty proved that for all sufficiently large $X$ there exist at least ${c(\ell,\eps) X^{1/{4\ell}-\eps}}$ real quadratic fields with class number divisible by $\ell$ and discriminant not exceeding $X$ in absolute value. We extend this this…

Let $X \subset \mathbb{P}^{n+1}$ be a smooth Fano hypersurface of dimension $n$ and degree $d$. The derived category of coherent sheaves on $X$ contains an interesting subcategory called the Kuznetsov component $\mathcal{A}_X$. We show that…

An observation by J-P. Serre implies that cubic polynomials are unique among generic monic polynomials of degree 2 or higher in that they have a root that is a power series in the discriminant of the polynomial. We provide formulas for this…

Let $d$ be an odd square-free integer, $m\geq 3$ any integer and $L_{m, d}:=\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_{2^m},\sqrt{d})$. In this paper, we shall determine all the fields $L_{m, d}$ having an odd class number. Furthermore, using the cyclotomic…

We prove that there are >>X^{1/30}/(log X) imaginary quadratic number fields with an ideal class group of 3-rank at least 5 and discriminant bounded in absolute value by X. This improves on an earlier result of Craig, who proved the…

The present paper is in a sense a continuation of \cite{PLS}, it relies on the notation and some results. The problem tackled in both papers is the nature of the continued fraction expansion of $\sqrt[3]{2}$: are the partial quotients…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field of order $q$ and $\mathcal{E}$ be a set in $\mathbb{F}_q^d$. The distance set of $\mathcal{E}$, denoted by $\Delta(\mathcal{E})$, is the set of distinct distances determined by the pairs of points in…

Let $R$ be a positively graded algebra over a field. We say that $R$ is Hilbert-cyclotomic if the numerator of its reduced Hilbert series has all of its roots on the unit circle. Such rings arise naturally in commutative algebra, numerical…

We develop a criterion for a normal basis, and prove that the singular values of certain Siegel functions form normal bases of ray class fields over imaginary quadratic fields other than $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-1})$ and $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-3})$.…

The real roots of the cubic and quartic polynomials are studied geometrically with the help of their respective Siebeck--Marden--Northshield equilateral triangle and regular tetrahedron. The Vi\`ete trigonometric formulae for the roots of…

Through this paper, we study the rings in which every unit's square is an element of the set $1+\sqrt{J(R)}$, and call them $2-\sqrt{J}U$ rings. Here, $\sqrt{J(R)}=\{x \in R: x^m \in J(R)$ for some $m \geq 1 \}$. We show that every…

Let $\Gamma \,=\, \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[5]{n})$ be a pure quintic field, where $n$ is a natural number $5^{th}$ power-free. Let $k = \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[5]{n}, \zeta_5)$, with $\zeta_5$ is a primitive $5^{th}$ root of unit, be the normal closure of…
