On the ring of p -integers of a cyclic p -extension over a number field

Humio Ichimura (2005)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Let p be a prime number. A finite Galois extension N / F of a number field F with group G has a normal p -integral basis ( p -NIB for short) when 𝒪 N is free of rank one over the group ring 𝒪 F [ G ] . Here, 𝒪 F = 𝒪 F [ 1 / p ] is the ring of p -integers of F . Let m = p e be a power of p and N / F a cyclic extension of degree m . When ζ m F × , we give a necessary and sufficient condition for N / F to have a p -NIB (Theorem 3). When ζ m F × and p [ F ( ζ m ) : F ] , we show that N / F has a p -NIB if and only if N ( ζ m ) / F ( ζ m ) has a p -NIB (Theorem 1). When p divides [ F ( ζ m ) : F ] , we show that this descent property...

On the S-Euclidean minimum of an ideal class

Kevin J. McGown (2015)

Acta Arithmetica

We show that the S-Euclidean minimum of an ideal class is a rational number, generalizing a result of Cerri. In the proof, we actually obtain a slight refinement of this and give some corollaries which explain the relationship of our results with Lenstra's notion of a norm-Euclidean ideal class and the conjecture of Barnes and Swinnerton-Dyer on quadratic forms. In particular, we resolve a conjecture of Lenstra except when the S-units have rank one. The proof is self-contained but uses ideas from...
