A generalization of Davenport's constant and its arithmetical applications
We generalize Dirichlet's S-unit theorem from the usual group of S-units of a number field K to the infinite rank group of all algebraic numbers having nontrivial valuations only on places lying over S. Specifically, we demonstrate that the group of algebraic S-units modulo torsion is a ℚ-vector space which, when normed by the Weil height, spans a hyperplane determined by the product formula, and that the elements of this vector space which are linearly independent over ℚ retain their linear independence...
Eichler's trace formula for traces of the Brandt-Eichler matrices is proved for arbitrary totally definite orders in central simple algebras of prime index over global fields. A formula for type numbers of such orders is proved as an application.
We provide a generalization of Scholz’s reciprocity law using the subfields and of , of degrees and over , respectively. The proof requires a particular choice of primitive element for over and is based upon the splitting of the cyclotomic polynomial over the subfields.
Let be an algebraic number field and the ring of integers of . In this paper, we prove an analogue of Voronoï’s theorem for -lattices and the finiteness of the number of similar isometry classes of perfect -lattices.
