On the Euclidean minimum of some real number fields

Eva Bayer-Fluckiger, Gabriele Nebe (2005)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

General methods from [3] are applied to give good upper bounds on the Euclidean minimum of real quadratic fields and totally real cyclotomic fields of prime power discriminant.

On the existence of Minkowski units in totally real cyclic fields

František Marko (2005)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Let K be a totally real cyclic number field of degree n that is the product of two distinct primes and such that the class number of the n -th cyclotomic field equals 1. We derive certain necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a Minkowski unit for K .

On the fundamental units of some cubic orders generated by units

Jun Ho Lee, Stéphane R. Louboutin (2014)

Acta Arithmetica

Let ϵ be a totally real cubic algebraic unit. Assume that the cubic number field ℚ(ϵ) is Galois. Let ϵ, ϵ' and ϵ'' be the three real conjugates of ϵ. We tackle the problem of whether {ϵ,ϵ'} is a system of fundamental units of the cubic order ℤ[ϵ,ϵ',ϵ'']. Given two units of a totally real cubic order, we explain how one can prove that they form a system of fundamental units of this order. Several explicit families of totally real cubic orders defined by parametrized families of cubic polynomials...

On the Galois group of generalized Laguerre polynomials

Farshid Hajir (2005)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Using the theory of Newton Polygons, we formulate a simple criterion for the Galois group of a polynomial to be “large.” For a fixed α - < 0 , Filaseta and Lam have shown that the n th degree Generalized Laguerre Polynomial L n ( α ) ( x ) = j = 0 n n + α n - j ( - x ) j / j ! is irreducible for all large enough n . We use our criterion to show that, under these conditions, the Galois group of L n ( α ) ( x ) is either the alternating or symmetric group on n letters, generalizing results of Schur for α = 0 , 1 , ± 1 2 , - 1 - n .
