Abstract

Let m>1m>1 and d0\mathfrak{d} \neq 0 be integers such that vp(d)mv_{p}(\mathfrak{d}) \neq m for any prime pp. We construct a matrix A(d)A(\mathfrak{d}) of size (m1)×(m1)(m-1) \times (m-1) depending on only of d\mathfrak{d} with the following property: For any tame Z/mZ\mathbb{Z}/m\mathbb{Z}-number field KK of discriminant d\mathfrak{d} the matrix A(d)A(\mathfrak{d}) represents the Gram matrix of the integral trace zero form of KK. In particular, we have that the integral trace zero form of tame cyclic number fields is determined by the degree and discriminant of the field. Furthermore, if in addition to the above hypotheses, we consider real number fields, then the shape is also determined by the degree and the discriminant
