The size function h 0 for quadratic number fields

Paolo Francini (2001)

Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux

Similarity:

We study the quadratic case of a conjecture made by Van der Geer and Schoof about the behaviour of certain functions which are defined over the group of Arakelov divisors of a number field. These functions correspond to the standard function h 0 for divisors of algebraic curves and we prove that they reach their maximum value for principal Arakelov divisors and nowhere else. Moreover, we consider a function k 0 ˜ , which is an analogue of exp h 0 defined on the class group, and we show it also...

Unramified quaternion extensions of quadratic number fields

Franz Lemmermeyer (1997)

Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux

Similarity:

Classical results of Rédei, Reichardt and Scholz show that unramified cyclic quartic extensions of quadratic number fields k correspond to certain factorizations of its discriminant disc k . In this paper we extend their results to unramified quaternion extensions of k which are normal over ℚ , and show how to construct them explicitly.

Maximal unramified extensions of imaginary quadratic number fields of small conductors, II

Ken Yamamura (2001)

Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux

Similarity:

In the previous paper [15], we determined the structure of the Galois groups Gal ( K u r / K ) of the maximal unramified extensions K u r of imaginary quadratic number fields K of conductors ≦ 1000 under the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH) except for 23 fields (these are of conductors ≧ 723 ) and give a table of Gal ( K u r / K ) . We update the table (under GRH). For 19 exceptional fields K of them, we determine Gal ( K u r / K ) . In particular, for K = 𝐐 ( - 856 ) , we obtain Gal ( K u r / K ) ≅ S 4 ˜ × C 5 and K u r = K 4 , the fourth Hilbert class field of K . This is the first example of a number...

On integral representations by totally positive ternary quadratic forms

Elise Björkholdt (2000)

Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux

Similarity:

Let K be a totally real algebraic number field whose ring of integers R is a principal ideal domain. Let f ( x 1 , x 2 , x 3 ) be a totally definite ternary quadratic form with coefficients in R . We shall study representations of totally positive elements N ∈ R by f . We prove a quantitative formula relating the number of representations of N by different classes in the genus of f to the class number of R [ - c f N ] , where c f ∈ R is a constant depending only on f . We give an algebraic proof of a classical result of H. Maass...
