Let $Q(\alpha)$ be the simplest cubic field, it is known that $Q(\alpha)$ can be generated by adjoining a root of the irreducible equation $x^{3}-kx^{2}+(k-3)x+1=0$, where $k$ belongs to $Q$. In this paper we have established a relationship…

We consider Shanks' simplest cubic fields $K$ for which the index $[\mathcal{O}_K:\mathbb{Z}[\rho]]$ of a root $\rho$ of the defining parametric polynomial is $3$. For them, we study the additive indecomposables of $K$ and provide a…

Let $a\in \mathbb{Z}$ and $\rho$ be a root of $f_a(x)=x^3-ax^2-(a+3)x-1$, then the number field $K_a=\mathbb{Q}(\rho)$ is called a simplest cubic field. In this paper we consider the family of unit equations $u_1+u_2=n$ where $u_1,u_2\in…

We prove that the ring of integers in the totally real cubic subfield $K^{(49)}$ of the cyclotomic field $\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_7)$ has Pythagoras number equal to $4$. This is the smallest possible value for a totally real number field of odd…

Let $K$ be a quartic number field containing $\sqrt{2}$ and let $\mathcal{O}\subseteq K$ be an order such that $\sqrt{2}\in \mathcal{O}$. We prove that the Pythagoras number of $\mathcal{O}$ is at most 5. This confirms a conjecture of…

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…

We prove that the Pythagoras number of the ring of integers of the compositum of all real quadratic fields is infinite. The same holds for certain infinite totally real cyclotomic fields. In contrast, we construct infinite degree totally…

We show that for all real biquadratic fields not containing $\sqrt{2}$, $\sqrt{3}$, $\sqrt{5}$, $\sqrt{6}$, $\sqrt{7},$ and $\sqrt{13}$, the Pythagoras number of the ring of algebraic integers is at least $6$. We will also provide an upper…

Let $m\in\mathbb{Z}$ be an integer and $L_m=\mathbb{Q}(\alpha)$ be the simplest cubic field with class number $h_m$ and conductor $\mathfrak{f}_m$ where $\alpha$ is a root of $f_m(X)=X^3-mX^2-(m+3)X-1$. Let $\mathcal{O}_{L_m}$ be the ring…

The Pythagoras number of a sum of squares is the shortest length among its sums of squares representations. In many algebras, for example real polynomial algebras in two or more variables, there exists no upper bound on the Pythagoras…

We introduce a $q$-deformation of the Pythagoras equation $a^2 + b^2 = c^2$, which is a polynomial version of it different from the standard one. We construct a polynomial analogue, or ``$q$-analogue'', of every primitive Pythagorean…

An integral basis of the simplest number fields of degree 3,4 and 6 over $\mathbb{Q}$ are well-known, and widely investigated. We generalize the simplest number fields to any degree, and show that an integral basis of these fields is…

We study totally real number fields that admit a universal quadratic form whose coefficients are rational integers. We show that $\mathbb Q(\sqrt 5)$ is the only such real quadratic field, and that among fields of degrees 3, 4, 5, and 7…

Let $K$ be a field of char $K\neq 2$. For $a\in K$, we give an explicit answer to the field isomorphism problem of the simplest quartic polynomial $X^4-aX^3-6X^2+aX+1$ over $K$ as the special case of the field intersection problem via…

We provide an equivalent condition for the monogenity of the ring of integers of any cyclic cubic field. We show that if a cyclic cubic field is monogenic then it is a simplest cubic field $K_t$ which is the splitting field of a Shanks…

For an infinite family of monogenic trinomials $P(X) = X^3\pm 3rbX-b$ in $\mathbb{Z}\lbrack X\rbrack$, arithmetical invariants of the cubic number field $L = \mathbb{Q}(\theta)$, generated by a zero $\theta$ of $P(X)$, and of its Galois…

A formula for the class number $h$ of the imaginary quadratic field $Q(\sqrt{-p}$ is obtained by counting on a specific way the quadratic residues of a prime number of the form $p=4n-1.$ Formulas for the sum of the quadratic residues are…

We show that any sum of squares in a field of transcendence degree $1$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ is a sum of $5$ squares, answering a question of Pop and Pfister. We deduce this result from a representation theorem, in $k(C)$, for quadratic forms…

Let K = Q(\omega) with \omega^3 = m be a pure cubic number field. We show that the elements\alpha \in K^\times whose squares have the form a - \omega form a group isomorphic to the group of rational points on the elliptic curve E_m: y^2=…

Let $L_n$ be a simplest cubic field with Galois group $G=\rm{Gal} (L_n/\mathbb Q)$. The associated order is denoted as ${\cal A}_{L_n/\mathbb Q}:= \{ x\in {\mathbb Q} [G] \, |\, x \cdot \cal{O}_{L_n} \subset {\cal O}_{L_n } \}$, where…
