We show that a character sum attached to a family of 3-isogenies defined on the fibers of a certain elliptic surface over $\mathbb{F}_p$ relates to the class number of the quadratic imaginary number field $\Q(\sqrt{-p})$. In this sense,…

This paper introduces an archimedean, locally Cantor multi-field $\mathcal{O}_{\theta}$ which gives an analog of the $p$-adic number field at a place at infinity of a real quadratic extension $K$ of $\mathbb{Q}$. This analog is defined…

The product formula of Artin symbols (norm residue symbols) is an important equality that connects local and global class field theory. Usually, the product formula of Artin symbols is considered in abelian extensions of global fields. In…

For an algebraic number field K with 3-class group \(Cl_3(K)\) of type (3,3), the structure of the 3-class groups \(Cl_3(N_i)\) of the four unramified cyclic cubic extension fields \(N_i\), \(1\le i\le 4\), of K is calculated with the aid…

We deduce a formula enumerating the isomorphism classes of extensions of a $\kp$-adic field $K$ with given ramification $e$ and inertia $f$. The formula follows from a simple group-theoretic lemma, plus the Krasner formula and an elementary…

Let $n\geq 3$ be an integer and $d$ an odd square-free integer. We shall compute the rank of the $2$-class group of $L_{n,d}:=\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_{2^n},\sqrt{d})$, when all the prime divisors of $d$ are congruent to $\pm 3\pmod 8$ or…

We study when the period and the index of a class in the Brauer group of the function field of a real algebraic surface coincide. We prove that it is always the case if the surface has no real points (more generally, if the class vanishes…

Iteration of the quadratic map produces sequences of polynomials whose degrees {\sl explode} as the orbital period grows more and more. The polynomial mixing all 335 period-12 orbits has degree $4020$, while for the $52,377$ period-20…

We give an explicit algebraic description, based on prismatic cohomology, of the algebraic K-groups of rings of the form $O_K/I$ where $K$ is a p-adic field and $I$ is a non-trivial ideal in the ring of integers $O_K$; this class includes…

Let $G$ be a subgroup of ${\rm PGL}_2({\mathbb F}_q)$, where $q$ is any prime power, and let $Q \in {\mathbb F}_q[x]$ such that ${\mathbb F}_q(x)/{\mathbb F}_q(Q(x))$ is a Galois extension with group $G$. By explicitly computing the Artin…

Let $R$ be a Dedekind domain with field of fractions $K$ and $\operatorname{char}(R)\neq3$. In this paper, we generalize Bhargava's parametrization of $3$-torsion ideal classes by binary cubic forms to work over $R$. Specifically, we…

We present an improved algorithm for tabulating class groups of imaginary quadratic fields of bounded discriminant. Our method uses classical class number formulas involving theta-series to compute the group orders unconditionally for all…

We prove a prime number theorem first for the classical Rankin-Selberg L-function $L(s,\pi\times\pi')$ over any Galois extension with $\pi$ and $\pi'$ unitary automorphic cuspidal representations of $GL_n$ and $GL_m$ respectively with at…

We establish a smoothed asymptotic formula for the third moment of quadratic {D}irichlet $L$-functions at the central value. In addition to the main term, which is known, we prove the existence of a secondary term of size $x^{\frac{3}{4}}$.…

Let $R$ be an order in an algebraic number field. If $R$ is a principal order, then many explicit results on its arithmetic are available. Among others, $R$ is half-factorial if and only if the class group of $R$ has at most two elements.…

In various contexts, the zeta function of an object splits into a product of $L$-functions. We categorify this product formula for quadratic covers of objects in the following contexts: quadratic extensions of number fields, ramified double…

The standard period-index conjecture for the Brauer group of a field of transcendence degree 2 over a $p$-adic field predicts that the index divides the cube of the period. Using Gabber's theory of prime-to-$\ell$ alterations and the…

We count algebraic points of bounded height and degree on the graphs of certain functions analytic on the unit disk, obtaining a bound which is polynomial in the degree and in the logarithm of the multiplicative height. We combine this work…

Let $\ell>0$ be a square-free integer congruent to 3 mod 4 and $\O_K$ the ring of integers of the imaginary quadratic field $K=Q(\sqrt{-\ell})$. Codes $C$ over rings $\O_K / p \O_K$ determine lattices $\Lambda_\ell (C) $ over $K$. If $ p…
