Let $L(\theta ,\lambda )$ be the set of limit points of the fractional parts $\left\{\lambda {\theta }^n\right\}$, $n=0,1,2,\cdots$, where $\theta$ is a Pisot number and $\lambda \in \mathbb{Q}\left(\theta \right)$. Using a description of $L(\theta ,\lambda )$, due to Dubickas, we show that there is a sequence ${\left({\lambda }_n\right)}_{n\ge 0}$ of elements of $\mathbb{Q}\left(\theta \right)$ such that $Card\left(L(\theta ,{\lambda }_n)\right)<Card\left(L(\theta ,{\lambda }_{n+1})\right)$, $\forall$$n\ge 0$. Also, we prove that the...

A complex number α is said to satisfy the height reducing property if there is a finite subset, say F, of the ring ℤ of the rational integers such that ℤ[α] = F[α]. This property has been considered by several authors, especially in contexts related to self affine tilings and expansions of real numbers in non-integer bases. We prove that a number satisfying the height reducing property, is an algebraic number whose conjugates, over the field of the rationals, are all of modulus one, or all of modulus...

Using both class field and Kummer theories, we propose calculations of orders of two Selmer groups, and compare them: the quotient of the orders only depends on local criteria.

We prove that the global geometric theta-lifting functor for the dual pair $(H,G)$ is compatible with the Whittaker functors, where $(H,G)$ is one of the pairs $({\mathrm{S}𝕆}_{2n},{𝕊p}_{2n})$, $({𝕊p}_{2n},{\mathrm{S}𝕆}_{2n+2})$ or $({𝔾\mathrm{L}}_n,{𝔾\mathrm{L}}_{n+1})$. That is, the composition of the theta-lifting functor from $H$ to $G$ with the Whittaker functor for $G$ is isomorphic to the Whittaker functor for $H$.

We present some completely normal elements in the maximal real subfields of cyclotomic fields over the field of rational numbers, relying on the criterion for normal element developed in [Jung H.Y., Koo J.K., Shin D.H., Normal bases of ray class fields over imaginary quadratic fields, Math. Z., 2012, 271(1–2), 109–116]. And, we further find completely normal elements in certain abelian extensions of modular function fields in terms of Siegel functions.

We consider a rational function $f$ which is ‘lacunary’ in the sense that it can be expressed as the ratio of two polynomials (not necessarily coprime) having each at most a given number $\ell$ of terms. Then we look at the possible decompositions $f\left(x\right)=g\left(h\right(x\left)\right)$, where $g,h$ are rational functions of degree larger than 1. We prove that, apart from certain exceptional cases which we completely describe, the degree of $g$ is bounded only in terms of $\ell$ (and we provide explicit bounds). This supports and quantifies the intuitive...

Le but de cet article est d’expliquer comment calculer exactement le nombre de classes d’isomorphismes d’extensions abéliennes de $\mathbb{Q}$ en degré inférieur ou égal à $4$ et de discriminant majoré par une borne donnée. On parvient par exemple à calculer le nombre de corps cubiques cycliques de discriminant inférieur ou égal à ${10}^{37}$.

We present an algorithm for computing the 2-group ${𝒞\ell }_F^{pos}$ of the positive divisor classes in case the number field $F$ has exceptional dyadic places. As an application, we compute the 2-rank of the wild kernel $W{K}_2\left(F\right)$ in $K_2\left(F\right)$.
