Dihedral and cyclic extensions with large class numbers

Peter J. Cho, Henry H. Kim (2012)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

This paper is a continuation of [2]. We construct unconditionally several families of number fields with large class numbers. They are number fields whose Galois closures have as the Galois groups, dihedral groups D n , n = 3 , 4 , 5 , and cyclic groups C n , n = 4 , 5 , 6 . We first construct families of number fields with small regulators, and by using the strong Artin conjecture and applying some modification of zero density result of Kowalski-Michel, we choose subfamilies such that the corresponding L -functions are zero free...

Diophantine equations and class number of imaginary quadratic fields

Zhenfu Cao, Xiaolei Dong (2000)

Discussiones Mathematicae - General Algebra and Applications

Let A, D, K, k ∈ ℕ with D square free and 2 ∤ k,B = 1,2 or 4 and μ i - 1 , 1 ( i = 1 , 2 ) , and let h ( - 2 1 - e D ) ( e = 0 o r 1 ) denote the class number of the imaginary quadratic field ( ( - 2 1 - e D ) ) . In this paper, we give the all-positive integer solutions of the Diophantine equation Ax² + μ₁B = K((Ay² + μ₂B)/K)ⁿ, 2 ∤ n, n > 1 and we prove that if D > 1, then h ( - 2 1 - e D ) 0 ( m o d n ) , where D, and n satisfy k - 2 e + 1 = D x ² , x ∈ ℕ, 2 ∤ n, n > 1. The results are valuable for the realization of quadratic field cryptosystem.

Discriminants of Chebyshev radical extensions

T. Alden Gassert (2014)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Let t be any integer and fix an odd prime . Let Φ ( x ) = T n ( x ) - t denote the n -fold composition of the Chebyshev polynomial of degree shifted by t . If this polynomial is irreducible, let K = ( θ ) , where θ is a root of Φ . We use a theorem of Dedekind in conjunction with previous results of the author to give conditions on t that ensure K is monogenic. For other values of t , we apply a result of Guàrdia, Montes, and Nart to obtain a formula for the discriminant of K and compute an integral basis for the ring of integers...
