Groupes d'unités elliptiques
In this article we shall give a survey of Hasse’s problem for integral power bases of algebraic number fields during the last half of century. Specifically, we developed this problem for the abelian number fields and we shall show several substantial examples for our main theorem [7] [9], which will indicate the actual method to generalize for the forthcoming theme on Hasse’s problem [15].
A result on the orders of the reductions of an element of the group of S-units of a number field is obtained by investigating three height functions for groups of S-units of number fields which are analogous to local, global and canonical height functions for elliptic curves.
We prove inequalities that compare the size of an S-regulator with a product of heights of multiplicatively independent S-units. Our upper bound for the S-regulator follows from a general upper bound for the determinant of a real matrix proved by Schinzel. The lower bound for the S-regulator follows from Minkowski's theorem on successive minima and a volume formula proved by Meyer and Pajor. We establish similar upper bounds for the relative regulator of an extension l/k of number fields.
This article provides necessary and sufficient conditions for both of the Diophantine equations X^2 − DY^2 = m1 and x^2 − Dy^2 = m2 to have primitive solutions when m1 , m2 ∈ Z, and D ∈ N is not a perfect square. This is given in terms of the ideal theory of the underlying real quadratic order Z[√D].
We define a sequence of rational integers for each finite index subgroup E of the group of units in some finite Galois number fields K in which prime p ramifies. For two subgroups E’ ⊂ E of finite index in the group of units of K we prove the formula . This is a generalization of results of P. Dénes [3], [4] and F. Kurihara [5].
For each global field of positive characteristic we exhibit many examples of two-variable algebraic functions possessing properties consistent with a conjectural refinement of the Stark conjecture in the function field case recently proposed by the author. All the examples are Coleman units. We obtain our results by studying rank one shtukas in which both zero and pole are generic, i. e., shtukas not associated to any Drinfeld module.
Let be a prime number, and let be an imaginary quadratic number field in which decomposes into two primes and . Let be the unique -extension of which is unramified outside of , and let be a finite extension of , abelian over . Let be the projective limit of principal semi-local units modulo elliptic units. We prove that the various modules of invariants and coinvariants of are finite. Our approach uses distributions and the -adic -function, as defined in [5].
We study the minimal number of elements of maximal order occurring in a zero-sumfree sequence over a finite Abelian p-group. For this purpose, and in the general context of finite Abelian groups, we introduce a new number, for which lower and upper bounds are proved in the case of finite Abelian p-groups. Among other consequences, our method implies that, if we denote by exp(G) the exponent of the finite Abelian p-group G considered, every zero-sumfree sequence S with maximal possible length over...
