On Galois structure of the integers in cyclic extensions of local number fields

G. Griffith Elder (2002)

Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux

Let p be a rational prime, K be a finite extension of the field of p -adic numbers, and let L / K be a totally ramified cyclic extension of degree p n . Restrict the first ramification number of L / K to about half of its possible values, b 1 > 1 / 2 · p e 0 / ( p - 1 ) where e 0 denotes the absolute ramification index of K . Under this loose condition, we explicitly determine the p [ G ] -module structure of the ring of integers of L , where p denotes the p -adic integers and G denotes the Galois group Gal ( L / K ) . In the process of determining this structure,...

On gaps in Rényi β -expansions of unity for β > 1 an algebraic number

Jean-Louis Verger-Gaugry (2006)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Let β > 1 be an algebraic number. We study the strings of zeros (“gaps”) in the Rényi β -expansion   d β ( 1 ) of unity which controls the set β of β -integers. Using a version of Liouville’s inequality which extends Mahler’s and Güting’s approximation theorems, the strings of zeros in d β ( 1 ) are shown to exhibit a “gappiness” asymptotically bounded above by   log ( M ( β ) ) / log ( β ) , where   M ( β )   is the Mahler measure of   β . The proof of this result provides in a natural way a new classification of algebraic numbers > 1 with classes called Q...
