When is the order generated by a cubic, quartic or quintic algebraic unit Galois invariant: three conjectures

Stéphane R. Louboutin (2020)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Let ε be an algebraic unit of the degree n 3 . Assume that the extension ( ε ) / is Galois. We would like to determine when the order [ ε ] of ( ε ) is Gal ( ( ε ) / ) -invariant, i.e. when the n complex conjugates ε 1 , , ε n of ε are in [ ε ] , which amounts to asking that [ ε 1 , , ε n ] = [ ε ] , i.e., that these two orders of ( ε ) have the same discriminant. This problem has been solved only for n = 3 by using an explicit formula for the discriminant of the order [ ε 1 , ε 2 , ε 3 ] . However, there is no known similar formula for n > 3 . In the present paper, we put forward and motivate three...
