On the S-Euclidean minimum of an ideal class

Kevin J. McGown — 2015

Acta Arithmetica

We show that the S-Euclidean minimum of an ideal class is a rational number, generalizing a result of Cerri. In the proof, we actually obtain a slight refinement of this and give some corollaries which explain the relationship of our results with Lenstra's notion of a norm-Euclidean ideal class and the conjecture of Barnes and Swinnerton-Dyer on quadratic forms. In particular, we resolve a conjecture of Lenstra except when the S-units have rank one. The proof is self-contained but uses ideas from...

Norm-Euclidean Galois fields and the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis

Kevin J. McGown — 2012

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH), we show that the norm-Euclidean Galois cubic fields are exactly those with discriminant Δ = 7 2 , 9 2 , 13 2 , 19 2 , 31 2 , 37 2 , 43 2 , 61 2 , 67 2 , 103 2 , 109 2 , 127 2 , 157 2 . A large part of the proof is in establishing the following more general result: Let K be a Galois number field of odd prime degree and conductor f . Assume the GRH for ζ K ( s ) . If 38 ( - 1 ) 2 ( log f ) 6 log log f < f , then K is not norm-Euclidean.
