For certain real quadratic fields $K$ with sufficiently small discriminant we produce explicit unit generators for specific ray class fields of $K$ using a numerical method that arose in the study of complete sets of equiangular lines in…
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…
We determine the average size of the 3-torsion in class groups of $G$-extensions of a number field when $G$ is any transitive $2$-group containing a transposition, for example $D_4$. It follows from the Cohen--Lenstra--Martinet heuristics…
The number F(h) of imaginary quadratic fields with a given class number h is of classical interest: Gauss' class number problem asks for a determination of those fields counted by F(h). The unconditional computation of F(h) for h up to 100…
We quantify a recent theorem of Wiles on class numbers of imaginary quadratic fields by proving an estimate for the number of negative fundamental discriminants down to -X whose class numbers are indivisible by a given prime and whose…
It is conjectured that within the class group of any number field, for every integer $\ell \geq 1$, the $\ell$-torsion subgroup is very small (in an appropriate sense, relative to the discriminant of the field). In nearly all settings, the…
For each odd prime $p$, we conjecture the distribution of the $p$-torsion subgroup of $K_{2n}(\mathcal{O}_F)$ as $F$ ranges over real quadratic fields, or over imaginary quadratic fields. We then prove that the average size of the…
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…
We determine the average number of $3$-torsion elements in the ray class groups of fixed (integral) conductor $c$ of quadratic fields ordered by absolute discriminant, generalizing Davenport and Heilbronn's theorem on class groups. A…
This paper contributes to the theory of orders of number fields. This paper defines a notion of "ray class group" associated to an arbitrary order in a number field together with an arbitrary ray class modulus for that order (including…
The study of iterations of functions over a finite field and the corresponding functional graphs is a growing area of research with connections to cryptography. The behaviour of such iterations is frequently approximated by what is know as…
We study the distribution of $2$-torsion in class groups and narrow class groups of cubic fields and cubic orders subject to prescribed shape conditions. The \emph{shape} of a cubic order in a number field is a natural geometric invariant…
Let $H= \mathbb{Q}(\zeta_{n} + {\zeta_{n}}^{-1})$ and $\ell$ be an odd prime such that $q \equiv 1 \pmod \ell$ for some prime factor $q$ of $n$. We get a bound on the $\ell$-rank of the class group of $H$(under some conditions) in terms of…
Using the method of multiple Dirichlet series, we develop L-functions ratios conjecture with one shift in both the numerator and denominator in certain ranges for quadratic families of Dirichlet and Hecke L-functions of primerelated moduli…
We give effective estimates for the $l^1$-distance between the corank distribution of $r \times r$ R\'edei matrices and the measure predicted by the Cohen--Lenstra heuristics. To this end we pinpoint a class of stochastic processes, which…
The P\'{o}lya group $Po(K)$ of an algebraic number field $K$ is the subgroup of the ideal class group $Cl_{K}$ generated by the ideal classes of the products of prime ideals of the same norm. If $Po(K)$ is trivial, then the number field $K$…
Let $\mathbb{K} = \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-d})$ be an imaginary quadratic number field of class number $1$ and $\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{K}}$ its ring of integers. We study a family of Hecke $L$-functions associated to angular characters on the…
We discuss rather systematically the principle, implicit in earlier works, that for a "random" element in an arithmetic subgroup of a (split, say) reductive algebraic group over a number field, the splitting field of the characteristic…
In this paper and its sequel, we develop a technique for finding the distribution of $\ell^{\infty}$-Selmer groups in degree $\ell$ twist families of Galois modules over number fields. Given an elliptic curve E over a number field…
H. W. Lenstra \cite{lenstra} introduced the notion of an Euclidean ideal class, which is a generalization of norm-Euclidean ideals in number fields. Later, families of number fields of small degree were obtained with an Euclidean ideal…
