Locally unbounded topological fields with topological nilpotents

J. E. Marcos (2002)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We construct some locally unbounded topological fields having topologically nilpotent elements; this answers a question of Heine. The underlying fields are subfields of fields of formal power series. In particular, we get a locally unbounded topological field for which the set of topologically nilpotent elements is an open additive subgroup. We also exhibit a complete locally unbounded topological field which is a topological extension of the field of p-adic numbers; this topological...

Extending automorphisms to the rational fractions field.

Fernando Fernández Rodríguez, Agustín Llerena Achutegui (1991)

Extracta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We say that a field K has the Extension Property if every automorphism of K(X) extends to an automorphism of K. J.M. Gamboa and T. Recio [2] have introduced this concept, naive in appearance, because of its crucial role in the study of homogeneity conditions in spaces of orderings of functions fields. Gamboa [1] has studied several classes of fields with this property: Algebraic extensions of the field Q of rational numbers; euclidean, algebraically closed and pythagorean fields; fields...

Class numbers of totally real fields and applications to the Weber class number problem

John C. Miller (2014)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

The determination of the class number of totally real fields of large discriminant is known to be a difficult problem. The Minkowski bound is too large to be useful, and the root discriminant of the field can be too large to be treated by Odlyzko's discriminant bounds. We describe a new technique for determining the class number of such fields, allowing us to attack the class number problem for a large class of number fields not treatable by previously known methods. We give an application...
