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…
We prove a lower bound of $\Omega (d^{3/2} \cdot (2/\sqrt{3})^d)$ on the kissing number in dimension $d$. This improves the classical lower bound of Chabauty, Shannon, and Wyner by a linear factor in the dimension. We obtain a similar…
Given a negative $D>-(\log X)^{\log 2-\delta}$, we give a new upper bound on the number of square free integers $<X$ which are represented by some but not all forms of the genus of a primitive positive definite binary quadratic form $f$ of…
For any integer $d\geq 3$ such that $-d$ is a fundamental discriminant, we show that the Dirichlet $L$-function associated with the real primitive character $\chi(\cdot)=(\frac{-d}{\cdot})$ does not vanish on the positive part of the…
We prove an improvement on Schmidt's upper bound on the number of number fields of degree $n$ and absolute discriminant less than X for $6 \leq n \leq 94$. We carry this out by improving and applying a uniform bound on the number of monic…
The number of lattice points in $d$-dimensional hyperbolic or elliptic shells $\{m : a<Q[m]<b\}$, which are restricted to rescaled and growing domains $r\;\Omega$, is approximated by the volume. An effective error bound of order…
Let $n \geq 6$ be an integer. We prove that the number of number fields with Galois group $A_n$ and absolute discriminant at most $X$ is asymptotically at least $X^{1/8 + O(1/n)}$. For $n \geq 8$ this improves upon the previously best known…
We show that if $K$ is a monogenic, primitive, totally real number field, that contains units of every signature, then there exists a lower bound for the rank of integer universal quadratic forms defined over $K$. In particular, we extend…
It is shown that the class number for negative discriminant $D$ can be expressed in terms of the base $B$ expansions of reduced fractions $\frac{x}{|D|}$, where $B$ is an integer prime to $D$. This result is then formulated to obtain…
We answer a question of Peikert and Rosen by giving for each $\epsilon > 0$ an efficient construction of infinite families of number fields $N$ such that the root discriminant $D_N^{1/[N:\mathbb{Q}]}$ is bounded above by a constant times…
This is a revised version of ANT-0045. If K is a number field of degree n with discriminant D, if K=Q(a) then H(a)>c(n)|D|^(1/(2n-2)) where H(a) is the height of the minimal polynomial of a. We ask if one can always find a generator a of K…
We consider the integers $\alpha$ of the quadratic field $ \mathbb{Q} (\sqrt{d}$ $)$ where $d\in \Z$ is square-free and $d\equiv 1,2,3 \pmod 4$. Let $p$ be an odd prime. Using the embedding into $ \text{GL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$ we obtain bounds…
We prove that if $\alpha$ is a non-zero algebraic number of degree $d \geq 2$ which is not a root of unity, then $dh(\alpha)>(1/4) (\log(\log (d))/\log(d))^3.
Suppose that $ m\equiv 1\mod 4 $ is a prime and that $ n\equiv 3\mod 4 $ is a primitive root modulo $ m $. In this paper we obtain a relation between the class number of the imaginary quadratic field $ \Q(\sqrt{-nm}) $ and the digits of the…
We prove upper bounds for the average size of the $\ell$-torsion $\text{Cl}_K[\ell]$ of the class group of $K$, as $K$ runs through certain natural families of number fields and $\ell$ is a positive integer. We refine a key argument, used…
We investigate Diophantine definability and decidability over some subrings of algebraic numbers contained in quadratic extensions of totally real algebraic extensions of $\mathbb Q$. Among other results we prove the following. The big…
We study the distribution of Hasse's unit index $Q(L)$ for the CM-fields $L = \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d}, \sqrt{-1})$ as $d$ varies among positive squarefree integers. We prove that the number of $d\leq X$ such that $Q(L) = 2$ is proportional to…
It was conjectured by Gauss that any negative discriminant with at least 32 genera has at least two classes of binary quadratic forms in each genus. We prove that such a discriminant cannot have a particularly large prime factor, by an…
The number of non-isomorphic cubic fields L sharing a common discriminant d(L) = d is called the multiplicity m = m(d) of d. For an assigned value of d, these fields are collected in a multiplet M(d) = (L(1) ,..., L(m)). In this paper, the…
Let $K/\mathbb{Q}$ be a finite extension. We prove that the minimal height of polynomials of degree $n$ of which all roots are in $K^\times$ increases exponentially in $n$. We determine the implied constant exactly for totally real $K$ and…
