On 2-extensions of the rationals with restricted ramification

Peter Schmid (2014)

Acta Arithmetica

For a finite group G let 𝒦₂(G) denote the set of normal number fields (within ℂ) with Galois group G which are 2-ramified, that is, unramified outside {2,∞}. We describe the 2-groups G for which 𝒦₂(G) ≠ ∅, and determine the fields in 𝒦₂(G) for certain distinguished 2-groups G appearing (dihedral, semidihedral, modular and semimodular groups). Our approach is based on Fröhlich's theory of central field extensions, and makes use of ring class field constructions (complex multiplication).

On a dynamical Brauer–Manin obstruction

Liang-Chung Hsia, Joseph Silverman (2009)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Let ϕ : X X be a morphism of a variety defined over a number field  K , let  V X be a K -subvariety, and let  𝒪 ϕ ( P ) = { ϕ n ( P ) : n 0 } be the orbit of a point  P X ( K ) . We describe a local-global principle for the intersection  V 𝒪 ϕ ( P ) . This principle may be viewed as a dynamical analog of the Brauer–Manin obstruction. We show that the rational points of  V ( K ) are Brauer–Manin unobstructed for power maps on  2 in two cases: (1)  V is a translate of a torus. (2)  V is a line and  P has a preperiodic coordinate. A key tool in the proofs is the classical...

On Bernoulli identities and applications.

Minking Eie, King F. Lai (1998)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

Bernoulli numbers appear as special values of zeta functions at integers and identities relating the Bernoulli numbers follow as a consequence of properties of the corresponding zeta functions. The most famous example is that of the special values of the Riemann zeta function and the Bernoulli identities due to Euler. In this paper we introduce a general principle for producing Bernoulli identities and apply it to zeta functions considered by Shintani, Zagier and Eie. Our results include some of...
