For any odd prime $p,$ we construct an infinite family of pairs of imaginary quadratic fields $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d}),\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d+1})$ whose class numbers are both divisible by $p.$ One of our theorems settles Iizuka's conjecture for…

Let $E\in\{-1, \pm 2\}$. We improve on the upper and lower densities of primes $p$ such that the equation $x^2-2py^2=E$ is solvable for $x, y\in \mathbb{Z}$. We prove that the natural density of primes $p$ such that the narrow class group…

In this paper we examine Grosswald's conjecture on $g(p)$, the least primitive root modulo $p$. Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH), and building on previous work by Cohen, Oliveira e Silva and Trudgian, we resolve Grosswald's…

We use Vinogradov's method to prove equidistribution of a spin symbol governing the $16$-rank of class groups of quadratic number fields $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-2p})$, where $p \equiv 1 \bmod 4$ is a prime.

Let $\ell>3$ be a prime such that $\ell \equiv 3 \pmod{4}$ and $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{\ell})$ has class number 1. Then Hirzebruch and Zagier noticed that the class number of $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-\ell})$ can be expressed as $h(-\ell) =…

Let $p$ be an odd prime. Define the Gaussian power sum \[ G_n(p)=\sum_{a=1}^{p-1}\sum_{b=1}^{p-1}(a+bi)^n\in\mathbb Z[i]. \] We determine $G_p(p)$ modulo high powers of $p$: if $p\equiv 1\pmod 4$ then $$G_p(p)\equiv p^2(1+i)\pmod{p^3},$$…

Recently, a density result for the $16$-rank of $\text{Cl}(\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-p}))$ was established when $p$ varies among the prime numbers, assuming a short character sum conjecture. In this paper we prove the same density result…

We construct a new infinite family of pairs of imaginary cyclic fields of degree $(p-1)/2$ explicitly with both class numbers divisible by a given prime number $p$. For the proof, we use the fundamental unit of $\mathbb Q(\sqrt{p})$,…

Kummer's conjecture states that the relative class number of the $p$-th cyclotomic field follows a strict asymptotic law. Granville has shown it unlikely to be true -- it cannot be true if we assume the truth of two other widely believed…

Let p denote an odd prime. For all p-admissible conductors c over a quadratic number field \(K=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d})\), p-ring spaces \(V_p(c)\) modulo c are introduced by defining a morphism \(\psi:\,f\mapsto V_p(f)\) from the divisor…

Let H(N) denote the Hurwitz class number. It is known that if $p$ is a prime, then {equation*} \sum_{|r|<2\sqrt p}H(4p-r^2) = 2p. {equation*} In this paper, we investigate the behavior of this sum with the additional condition $r\equiv…

We consider the class numbers of imaginary quadratic extensions $F(\sqrt{-p})$, for certain primes $p$, of totally real quadratic fields $F$ which have class number one. Using seminal work of Shintani, we obtain two elementary class number…

Although squaring integers is deterministic, squares modulo a prime, $p$, appear to be random. First, because they are all generated by the multiplicative linear congruential equation, $x_{i+1} = g^2 x_i \mod p$, where $x_0 = 1$ and $g$ is…

In this paper we study products of quadratic residues modulo odd primes and prove some identities involving quadratic residues. For instance, let $p$ be an odd prime. We prove that if $p\equiv5\pmod8$, then…

In this article, we prove a modulo $p$ congruence which connects the class number of the quadratic field $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{(-1)^{(p-1)/2}p})$ and the trace of a certain monomial in a root $\theta$ of the Artin-Schreier polynomial…

Grosswald's conjecture is that $g(p)$, the least primitive root modulo $p$, satisfies $g(p) \leq \sqrt{p} - 2$ for all $p>409$. We make progress towards this conjecture by proving that $g(p) \leq \sqrt{p} -2$ for all $409<p< 2.5\times…

Let N and p be two prime numbers > 3 such that p divides N-1. We estimate the p-rank of the class group of Q(N^(1/p)) in terms of the discrete logarithm, with values un F_p, of certain units. Using the Gross--Koblitz formula and identities…

Let p be an odd prime. Let K_p = \Q(zeta_p) be the p-cyclotomic field. We apply a Kummer and Stickelberger relation of K_p to some singular not primary numbers A of K_p connected to p-class group of K_p and prove they verify the congruence…

Let $q$ be a prime. We classify the odd primes $p\neq q$ such that the equation $x^2\equiv q\pmod{p}$ has a solution, concretely, we find a subgroup $\mathbb{L}_{4q}$ of the multiplicative group $\mathbb{U}_{4q}$ of integers relatively…

Let $p$ be an odd prime, and define $$G_p(x)=\prod_{k=1}^{(p-1)/2}\left(x-e^{2\pi i k^2/p}\right).$$ In this paper we study values of $G_p(x)$ at roots of unity via Galois theory, and confirm some previous conjectures. For example, for any…
