Construction of Ray class fields by elliptic units

Reinhard Schertz — 1997

Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux

From complex multiplication we know that elliptic units are contained in certain ray class fields over a quadratic imaginary number field K , and Ramachandra [3] has shown that these ray class fields can even be generated by elliptic units. However the generators constructed by Ramachandra involve very complicated products of high powers of singular values of the Klein form defined below and singular values of the discriminant Δ . It is the aim of this paper to show, that in many cases a generator...

Weber's class invariants revisited

Reinhard Schertz — 2002

Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux

Let K be a quadratic imaginary number field of discriminant d . For t let 𝔒 t denote the order of conductor t in K and j ( 𝔒 t ) its modular invariant which is known to generate the ring class field modulo t over K . The coefficients of the minimal equation of j ( 𝔒 t ) being quite large Weber considered in [We] the functions f , f 1 , f 2 , γ 2 , γ 3 defined below and thereby obtained simpler generators of the ring class fields. Later on the singular values of these functions played a crucial role in Heegner’s solution [He] of the class...

On the generalized principal ideal theorem of complex multiplication

Reinhard Schertz — 2006

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

In the p n -th cyclotomic field p n , p a prime number, n , the prime p is totally ramified and the only ideal above p is generated by ω n = ζ p n - 1 , with the primitive p n -th root of unity ζ p n = e 2 π i p n . Moreover these numbers represent a norm coherent set, i.e. N p n + 1 / p n ( ω n + 1 ) = ω n . It is the aim of this article to establish a similar result for the ray class field K 𝔭 n of conductor 𝔭 n over an imaginary quadratic number field K where 𝔭 n is the power of a prime ideal in K . Therefore the exponential function has to be replaced by a suitable elliptic function....

Lower powers of elliptic units

Stefan BettnerReinhard Schertz — 2001

Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux

In the previous paper [Sch2] it has been shown that ray class fields over quadratic imaginary number fields can be generated by simple products of singular values of the Klein form defined below. In the present article the second named author has constructed more general products that are contained in ray class fields thereby correcting Theorem 2 of [Sch2]. An algorithm for the computation of the algebraic equations of the numbers in Theorem 1 of this paper has been implemented in a KASH program...

Constructing elliptic curves over finite fields using double eta-quotients

Andreas EngeReinhard Schertz — 2004

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

We examine a class of modular functions for Γ 0 ( N ) whose values generate ring class fields of imaginary quadratic orders. This fact leads to a new algorithm for constructing elliptic curves with complex multiplication. The difficulties arising when the genus of X 0 ( N ) is not zero are overcome by computing certain modular polynomials. Being a product of four η -functions, the proposed modular functions can be viewed as a natural generalisation of the functions examined by Weber and usually employed...
