Abstract

Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH), we show that the norm-Euclidean Galois cubic fields are exactly those with discriminant Δ=72,92,132,192,312,372,432,612,672,1032,1092,1272,1572\Delta=7^2,9^2,13^2,19^2,31^2,37^2,43^2,61^2,67^2,103^2,109^2,127^2,157^2. A large part of the proof is in establishing the following more general result: Let KK be a Galois number field of odd prime degree \ell and conductor ff. Assume the GRH for ζK(s)\zeta_K(s). If 38(1)2(logf)6loglogf<f38(\ell-1)^2(\log f)^6\log\log f<f, then KK is not norm-Euclidean.
