We show that, for every linear ordering of $[2]^n$, there is a large subcube on which the ordering is lexicographic. We use this to deduce that every long sequence contains a long monotone subsequence supported on an affine cube. More…

We consider the problem of determining whether a given prime p is a congruent number. We present an easily computed criterion that allows us to conclude that certain primes for which congruency was previously undecided, are in fact not…

For a binary quadratic form $Q$, we consider the action of $\mathrm{SO}_Q$ on a two-dimensional vector space. This representation yields perhaps the simplest nontrivial example of a prehomogeneous vector space that is not irreducible, and…

We give an upper bound on the number of extensions of a fixed number field of prescribed degree and discriminant less than X; these bounds improve on work of Schmidt. We also prove various related results, such as lower bounds for the…

This paper focuses on greedy expansions, one possible representation of numbers, and on arithmetical operations with them. Performing addition or multiplication some additional digits can appear. We study bounds on the number of such digits…

Let X be a projective curve over Q and t a non-constant Q-rational function on X of degree n>1. For every integer a pick a points P(a) on X such that t(P(a))=a. Dvornicich and Zannier (1994) proved that for large N the field Q(P(1), ...,…

We classify all cubic extensions of any field of arbitrary characteristic, up to isomorphism, via an explicit construction involving three fundamental types of cubic forms. We deduce a classification of any Galois cubic extension of a…

This paper contains an account of arbitrary cubic function fields of characteristic three. We define a standard form for an arbitrary cubic curve and consider its function field. By considering an integral basis for the maximal order of…

In this article we will describe a surprising observation that occurred in the construction of quadratic unramified extensions of a family of pure cubic number fields. Attempting to find an explanation will lead us on a magical mystery tour…

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…

In this article, we introduce a class of invariants of cubic fields termed generalized discriminants. We then obtain asymptotics for the families of cubic fields ordered by these invariants. In addition, we determine which of these families…

We introduce the notion of differential largeness for fields equipped with several commuting derivations (as an analogue to largeness of fields). We lay out the foundations of this new class of "tame" differential fields. We state several…

Cohn asks if for every real quadratic field Q(m) with discriminant d there exists a non-maximal order corresponding to f > 1 such that the relative class number Hd(f) = h(f2d)/h(d) is one. We prove that when m = 46 (and in seven other…

We show that an order in a quartic field has fewer than $3000$ essentially different generators as a $\mathbb Z$-algebra (and fewer than $200$ if the discriminant of the order is sufficiently large). This significantly improves the…

We prove the existence of secondary terms of order $X^{5/6}$ in the asymptotic formulas for the average size of the genus number of cubic fields and for the number of cubic fields with a given genus number, establishing improved error…

We give lower bounds on the number of effective divisors of degree $\leq g-1$ with respect to the number of places of certain degrees of an algebraic function field of genus $g$ defined over a finite field. We deduce lower bounds and…

This article is the first in a series devoted to computing the class groups of real quadratic fields. We present a new relation between the class number and the index of unit groups. This relation generalizes Hilbert class field theory for…

A number field $k$ admits a binary integral quadratic form which represents all integers locally but not globally if and only if the class number of $k$ is bigger than one. In this case, there are only finitely many classes of such binary…

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…

We compute the spinor class field for a genus of orders, in a central simple algebra of higher dimension, that are intersections of two maximal orders. In particular, we compute the number of spinor genera in a genus of such orders, as the…
