Fröhlich's and Chinburg's conjectures in the factorisability defect class group.
This paper contains an application of Langlands’ functoriality principle to the following classical problem: which finite groups, in particular which simple groups appear as Galois groups over ? Let be a prime and a positive integer. We show that that the finite simple groups of Lie type if and appear as Galois groups over , for some divisible by . In particular, for each of the two Lie types and fixed we construct infinitely many Galois groups but we do not have a precise control...
Let ε be an algebraic unit for which the rank of the group of units of the order ℤ[ε] is equal to 1. Assume that ε is not a complex root of unity. It is natural to wonder whether ε is a fundamental unit of this order. It turns out that the answer is in general yes, and that a fundamental unit of this order can be explicitly given (as an explicit polynomial in ε) in the rare cases when the answer is no. This paper is a self-contained exposition of the solution to this problem, solution which was...
Let be the maximal order of the cubic field generated by a zero of for , . We prove that is a fundamental pair of units for , if
In this article we compute fundamental units for a family of number fields generated by a parametric polynomial of degree 5 with signature and Galois group .
