Polynomials of Pellian Type and Continued Fractions

Mollin, R. (2001)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

We investigate infinite families of integral quadratic polynomials {fk (X)} k∈N and show that, for a fixed k ∈ N and arbitrary X ∈ N, the period length of the simple continued fraction expansion of √fk (X) is constant. Furthermore, we show that the period lengths of √fk (X) go to infinity with k. For each member of the families involved, we show how to determine, in an easy fashion, the fundamental unit of the underlying quadratic field. We also demonstrate how the simple continued fraction ex-...

Prime factors of values of polynomials

J. Browkin, A. Schinzel (2011)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We prove that for every quadratic binomial f(x) = rx² + s ∈ ℤ[x] there are pairs ⟨a,b⟩ ∈ ℕ² such that a ≠ b, f(a) and f(b) have the same prime factors and min{a,b} is arbitrarily large. We prove the same result for every monic quadratic trinomial over ℤ.

Principalization algorithm via class group structure

Daniel C. Mayer (2014)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

For an algebraic number field K with 3 -class group Cl 3 ( K ) of type ( 3 , 3 ) , the structure of the 3 -class groups Cl 3 ( N i ) of the four unramified cyclic cubic extension fields N i , 1 i 4 , of K is calculated with the aid of presentations for the metabelian Galois group G 3 2 ( K ) = Gal ( F 3 2 ( K ) | K ) of the second Hilbert 3 -class field F 3 2 ( K ) of K . In the case of a quadratic base field K = ( D ) it is shown that the structure of the 3 -class groups of the four S 3 -fields N 1 , ... , N 4 frequently determines the type of principalization of the 3 -class group of K in N 1 , ... , N 4 . This provides...

Propagation de la 2-birationalité

Claire Bourbon, Jean-François Jaulent (2013)

Acta Arithmetica

Let L/K be a 2-birational CM-extension of a totally real 2-rational number field. We characterize in terms of tame ramification totally real 2-extensions K’/K such that the compositum L’=LK’ is still 2-birational. In case the 2-extension K’/K is linearly disjoint from the cyclotomic ℤ₂-extension K c / K , we prove that K’/K is at most quadratic. Furthermore, we construct infinite towers of such 2-extensions.
