Discriminants of Chebyshev radical extensions

T. Alden Gassert (2014)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Let t be any integer and fix an odd prime . Let Φ ( x ) = T n ( x ) - t denote the n -fold composition of the Chebyshev polynomial of degree shifted by t . If this polynomial is irreducible, let K = ( θ ) , where θ is a root of Φ . We use a theorem of Dedekind in conjunction with previous results of the author to give conditions on t that ensure K is monogenic. For other values of t , we apply a result of Guàrdia, Montes, and Nart to obtain a formula for the discriminant of K and compute an integral basis for the ring of integers...

Division-ample sets and the Diophantine problem for rings of integers

Gunther Cornelissen, Thanases Pheidas, Karim Zahidi (2005)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

We prove that Hilbert’s Tenth Problem for a ring of integers in a number field K has a negative answer if K satisfies two arithmetical conditions (existence of a so-called division-ample set of integers and of an elliptic curve of rank one over K ). We relate division-ample sets to arithmetic of abelian varieties.
