A. Mukhopadhyay, M. R. Murty and K. Srinivas (http://arxiv.org/abs/0808.0418) have recently studied various arithmetic properties of the discriminant $\Delta_n(a,b)$ of the trinomial $f_{n,a,b}(t) = t^n + at + b$, where $n \ge 5$ is a fixed…
This paper grew out of an attempt to find a suitable finite sheeted covering of an aspherical 3-manifold so that the cover either has infinite or trivial first homology group. With this motivation we define a new class of groups. These…
In \emph{Endomorphism Algebras of Jacobians}, Ellenberg gives group theory tools to construct jacobians of curves with real multiplication. He shows the existence of curves and family of curves with real multiplication by subfields of…
We prove the rank of the group of signatures of the circular units (hence also the full group of units) of ${\mathbb Q}( \zeta_m)^+$ tends to infinity with $m$. We also show the signature rank of the units differs from its maximum possible…
For $n=3$, 4, and 5, we prove that, when $S_n$-number fields of degree $n$ are ordered by their absolute discriminants, the lattice shapes of the rings of integers in these fields become equidistributed in the space of lattices.
We introduce a family of Dirichlet series associated to real quadratic number fields that generalize the ordinary Fibonacci zeta function $\sum F(n)^{-s}$, where $F(n)$ denotes the $n$th Fibonacci number. We then give three different…
Using class field theory, we prove a restriction on the intersection of the maximal abelian extensions associated with different number fields. This restriction is then used to improve a result of Rosen and Silverman about the linear…
Following the previous work of Nikulin and Agol, Belolipetsky, Storm, and Whyte it is known that there exist only finitely many (totally real) number fields that can serve as fields of definition of arithmetic hyperbolic reflection groups.…
Noether, Fleischmann and Fogarty proved that if the characteristic of the underlying field does not divide the order $|G|$ of a finite group $G$, then the polynomial invariants of $G$ are generated by polynomials of degrees at most $|G|$.…
We develop Kummer theory for algebraic function fields in finitely many transcendental variables. We consider any finitely generated Kummer extension (possibly, over a cyclotomic extension) of an algebraic function field, and describe the…
Class field theory furnishes an intrinsic description of the abelian extensions of a number field that is in many cases not of an immediate algorithmic nature. We outline the algorithms available for the explicit computation of such…
The class numbers $h^{+}$ of the real cyclotomic fields are very hard to compute. Methods based on discriminant bounds become useless as the conductor of the field grows and methods employing Leopoldt's decomposition of the class number…
Surprisingly, the class numbers of cyclotomic fields have only been determined for fields of small conductor, e.g. for prime conductors up to 67, due to the problem of finding the "plus part," i.e. the class number of the maximal real…
For an algebraic number field $K$ with ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_{K}$, an important subgroup of the ideal class group $Cl_{K}$ is the {\it P\'{o}lya group}, denoted by $Po(K)$, which measures the failure of the $\mathcal{O}_{K}$-module…
We investigate the number ${\Cal F}(h)$ of imaginary quadratic fields with class number $h$. We establish an asymptotic formula for the average value of ${\Cal F}(h)$. We also establish a modest non-trivial upper bound for ${\Cal F}(h)$ and…
In this paper we develop general techniques for classes of computable real numbers generated by subsets of total computable (recursive functions) with special restrictions on basic operations in order to investigate the following problems:…
We examine the polynomial analogues of McMullen's and Zaremba's conjectures on continued fractions with bounded partial quotients. It has already been proved by Blackburn that if the base field is infinite, then the polynomial analogue of…
We mainly study a polynomial $f_{1,n}(x)=x^{n-1} + 2x^{n-2} + 3x^{n-3} + \cdots + kx^{n-k} + \cdots + (n-1)x + n$ over $\mathbb{Z}$ and the Galois group of the minimal splitting field. First, we show that an arbitrary root $\alpha_{n}$ of…
We study the orbit of $\mathbb{R}$ under the Bianchi group $\operatorname{PSL}_2(\mathcal{O}_K)$, where $K$ is an imaginary quadratic field. The orbit, called a Schmidt arrangement $\mathcal{S}_K$, is a geometric realisation, as an…
We prove a conjecture that classifies exceptional numbers. This conjecture arises in two different ways, from cryptography and from coding theory. An odd integer $t\geq 3$ is said to be exceptional if $f(x)=x^t$ is APN (Almost Perfect…
