The catenary degree of Krull monoids I

Alfred Geroldinger, David J. Grynkiewicz, Wolfgang A. Schmid (2011)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Let H be a Krull monoid with finite class group G such that every class contains a prime divisor (for example, a ring of integers in an algebraic number field or a holomorphy ring in an algebraic function field). The catenary degree c ( H ) of H is the smallest integer N with the following property: for each a H and each two factorizations z , z of a , there exist factorizations z = z 0 , ... , z k = z of a such that, for each i [ 1 , k ] , z i arises from z i - 1 by replacing at most N atoms from z i - 1 by at most N new atoms. Under a very mild condition...

The Iwasawa λ-invariants of ℤₚ-extensions of real quadratic fields

Takashi Fukuda, Hisao Taya (1995)

Acta Arithmetica

1. Introduction. Let k be a totally real number field. Let p be a fixed prime number and ℤₚ the ring of all p-adic integers. We denote by λ=λₚ(k), μ=μₚ(k) and ν=νₚ(k) the Iwasawa invariants of the cyclotomic ℤₚ-extension k of k for p (cf. [10]). Then Greenberg’s conjecture states that both λₚ(k) and μₚ(k) always vanish (cf. [8]). In other words, the order of the p-primary part of the ideal class group of kₙ remains bounded as n tends to infinity, where kₙ is the nth layer of k / k . We know by the Ferrero-Washington...

The set of minimal distances in Krull monoids

Alfred Geroldinger, Qinghai Zhong (2016)

Acta Arithmetica

Let H be a Krull monoid with class group G. Then every nonunit a ∈ H can be written as a finite product of atoms, say a = u 1 · . . . · u k . The set (a) of all possible factorization lengths k is called the set of lengths of a. If G is finite, then there is a constant M ∈ ℕ such that all sets of lengths are almost arithmetical multiprogressions with bound M and with difference d ∈ Δ*(H), where Δ*(H) denotes the set of minimal distances of H. We show that max Δ*(H) ≤ maxexp(G)-2,(G)-1 and that equality holds if every...

The unit group of some fields of the form ( 2 , p , q , - l )

Moha Ben Taleb El Hamam (2024)

Mathematica Bohemica

Let p and q be two different prime integers such that p q 3 ( mod 8 ) with ( p / q ) = 1 , and l a positive odd square-free integer relatively prime to p and q . In this paper we investigate the unit groups of number fields 𝕃 = ( 2 , p , q , - l ) .
