Hasse’s problem for monogenic fields

Toru Nakahara (2009)

Annales mathématiques Blaise Pascal

In this article we shall give a survey of Hasse’s problem for integral power bases of algebraic number fields during the last half of century. Specifically, we developed this problem for the abelian number fields and we shall show several substantial examples for our main theorem [7] [9], which will indicate the actual method to generalize for the forthcoming theme on Hasse’s problem [15].

Heights and totally p-adic numbers

Lukas Pottmeyer (2015)

Acta Arithmetica

We study the behavior of canonical height functions h ̂ f , associated to rational maps f, on totally p-adic fields. In particular, we prove that there is a gap between zero and the next smallest value of h ̂ f on the maximal totally p-adic field if the map f has at least one periodic point not contained in this field. As an application we prove that there is no infinite subset X in the compositum of all number fields of degree at most d such that f(X) = X for some non-linear polynomial f. This answers a...

Heights, regulators and Schinzel's determinant inequality

Shabnam Akhtari, Jeffrey D. Vaaler (2016)

Acta Arithmetica

We prove inequalities that compare the size of an S-regulator with a product of heights of multiplicatively independent S-units. Our upper bound for the S-regulator follows from a general upper bound for the determinant of a real matrix proved by Schinzel. The lower bound for the S-regulator follows from Minkowski's theorem on successive minima and a volume formula proved by Meyer and Pajor. We establish similar upper bounds for the relative regulator of an extension l/k of number fields.

Indices of subfields of cyclotomic ℤₚ-extensions and higher degree Fermat quotients

Yoko Inoue, Kaori Ota (2015)

Acta Arithmetica

We consider the indices of subfields of cyclotomic ℤₚ-extensions of number fields. For the nth layer Kₙ of the cyclotomic ℤₚ-extension of ℚ, we find that the prime factors of the index of Kₙ/ℚ are those primes less than the extension degree pⁿ which split completely in Kₙ. Namely, the prime factor q satisfies q p - 1 1 ( m o d p n + 1 ) , and this leads us to consider higher degree Fermat quotients. Indices of subfields of cyclotomic ℤₚ-extensions of a number field which is cyclic over ℚ with extension degree a prime different...

Isomorphisms of algebraic number fields

Mark van Hoeij, Vivek Pal (2012)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Let ( α ) and ( β ) be algebraic number fields. We describe a new method to find (if they exist) all isomorphisms, ( β ) ( α ) . The algorithm is particularly efficient if there is only one isomorphism.
