On wild ramification in quaternion extensions

G. Griffith Elder, Jeffrey J. Hooper (2007)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

This paper provides a complete catalog of the break numbers that occur in the ramification filtration of fully and thus wildly ramified quaternion extensions of dyadic number fields which contain - 1 (along with some partial results for the more general case). This catalog depends upon the refined ramification filtration, which as defined in [2] is associated with the biquadratic subfield. Moreover we find that quaternion counter-examples to the conclusion of the Hasse-Arf Theorem are extremely rare...

Optimality of the Width- w Non-adjacent Form: General Characterisation and the Case of Imaginary Quadratic Bases

Clemens Heuberger, Daniel Krenn (2013)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

We consider digit expansions j = 0 - 1 Φ j ( d j ) with an endomorphism Φ of an Abelian group. In such a numeral system, the w -NAF condition (each block of w consecutive digits contains at most one nonzero) is shown to minimise the Hamming weight over all expansions with the same digit set if and only if it fulfills the subadditivity condition (the sum of every two expansions of weight 1 admits an optimal w -NAF).This result is then applied to imaginary quadratic bases, which are used for scalar multiplication in elliptic...

Ordinary p -adic Eisenstein series and p -adic L -functions for unitary groups

Ming-Lun Hsieh (2011)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

The purpose of this work is to carry out the first step in our four-step program towards the main conjecture for GL 2 × 𝒦 × by the method of Eisenstein congruence on G U ( 3 , 1 ) , where 𝒦 is an imaginary quadratic field. We construct a p -adic family of ordinary Eisenstein series on the group of unitary similitudes G U ( 3 , 1 ) with the optimal constant term which is basically the product of the Kubota-Leopodlt p -adic L -function and a p -adic L -function for GL 2 × 𝒦 × . This construction also provides a different point of view of p -adic...
