We establish new upper bounds about symmetric bilinear complexity in any extension of finite fields. Note that these bounds are not asymptotical but uniform. Moreover we give examples of Shimura curves that do not descend over their field…

We obtain divisibility conditions on the multiplicative orders of elements of the form $\zeta + \zeta^{-1}$ in a finite field by exploiting a link to the arithmetic of real quadratic fields.

We give an algebraic proof of a class number formula for dihedral extensions of number fields of degree $2q$, where $q$ is any odd integer. Our formula expresses the ratio of class numbers as a ratio of orders of cohomology groups of units…

We prove an explicit upper bound on the number of real quadratic fields that admit a universal quadratic form of a given rank, thus establishing a density zero statement. More generally, we obtain such a result for totally positive definite…

The determination of the class number of totally real fields of large discriminant is known to be a difficult problem. The Minkowski bound is too large to be useful, and the root discriminant of the field can be too large to be treated by…

In this paper, we establish the explicit lower bound estimates for the rank of universal quadratic forms in some certain families of real cubic fields under the condition of density one. The more general results that represent all multiples…

In this expository article, the real numbers are defined as infinite decimals. After defining an ordering relation and the arithmetic operations, it is shown that the set of real numbers is a complete ordered field. It is further shown that…

In this article, we study necessary conditions for certain square-free integers to be congruent numbers. Our method uses divisibility properties of class numbers of related imaginary quadratic fields. We first consider positive square-free…

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…

For $p$ prime and $\ell = \frac{p-1}{2}$, we show that the shapes of pure prime degree number fields lie on one of two $\ell$-dimensional subspaces of the space of shapes, and which of the two subspaces is dictated by whether or not $p$…

Let $n>1$ be an odd integer. We prove that there are infinitely many imaginary quadratic fields of the form $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{x^2-2y^n})$ whose ideal class group has an element of order $n$. This family gives a counter example to a…

We examine the Pythagoras number $\mathcal{P}(\mathcal{O}_K)$ of the ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_K$ in a totally real biquadratic number field $K$. We show that the known upper bound $7$ is attained in a large and natural infinite family…

Suppose that $n$ is $0$ or $4$ modulo $6$. We show that there are infinitely many primes of the form $p^2 + nq^2$ with both $p$ and $q$ prime, and obtain an asymptotic for their number. In particular, when $n = 4$ we verify the `Gaussian…

We introduce a new class of generalised quadratic forms over totally real number fields, which is rich enough to capture the arithmetic of arbitrary systems of quadrics over the rational numbers. We explore this connection through a version…

The subset of quadratic primes {p = an^2 + bn + c : n => 1} generated by an irreducible polynomial f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c over the integers is widely believed to be an unbounded subset of prime numbers. This note provides the details of a…

In this paper, we find criteria for when cyclic cubic and cyclic quartic fields have well-rounded ideal lattices. We show that every cyclic cubic field has at least one well-rounded ideal. We also prove that there exist families of cyclic…

We obtain new uniform upper bounds for the (non necessarily symmetric) tensor rank of the multiplication in the extensions of the finite fields $\F_q$ for any prime or prime power $q\geq2$; moreover these uniform bounds lead to new…

We prove the result in the title. We infer, that unlike cylindric algebras, there is a first order axiomatization of the class of completely representable polyadic algebras of infinite dimension, though the one we obtain is infinite; in…

For a given odd integer $n>1$, we provide some families of imaginary quadratic number fields of the form $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{x^2-t^n})$ whose ideal class group has a subgroup isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$.

Let $F$ be a number field, and $D$ be a quaternion $F$-algebra. We show that the class number of any residually unramified $O_F$-order (e.g. an Eichler order) in $D$ is divisible by the class number of $F$.
