The Iwasawa λ-invariants of ℤₚ-extensions of real quadratic fields

Takashi Fukuda, Hisao Taya (1995)

Acta Arithmetica

1. Introduction. Let k be a totally real number field. Let p be a fixed prime number and ℤₚ the ring of all p-adic integers. We denote by λ=λₚ(k), μ=μₚ(k) and ν=νₚ(k) the Iwasawa invariants of the cyclotomic ℤₚ-extension k of k for p (cf. [10]). Then Greenberg’s conjecture states that both λₚ(k) and μₚ(k) always vanish (cf. [8]). In other words, the order of the p-primary part of the ideal class group of kₙ remains bounded as n tends to infinity, where kₙ is the nth layer of k / k . We know by the Ferrero-Washington...

The minimal resultant locus

Robert Rumely (2015)

Acta Arithmetica

Let K be a complete, algebraically closed nonarchimedean valued field, and let φ(z) ∈ K(z) have degree d ≥ 2. We study how the resultant of φ varies under changes of coordinates. For γ ∈ GL₂(K), we show that the map γ o r d ( R e s ( φ γ ) ) factors through a function o r d R e s φ ( · ) on the Berkovich projective line, which is piecewise affine and convex up. The minimal resultant is achieved either at a single point in P ¹ K , or on a segment, and the minimal resultant locus is contained in the tree in P ¹ K spanned by the fixed points and poles...

The R₂ measure for totally positive algebraic integers

V. Flammang (2016)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Let α be a totally positive algebraic integer of degree d, i.e., all of its conjugates α = α , . . . , α d are positive real numbers. We study the set ₂ of the quantities ( i = 1 d ( 1 + α ² i ) 1 / 2 ) 1 / d . We first show that √2 is the smallest point of ₂. Then, we prove that there exists a number l such that ₂ is dense in (l,∞). Finally, using the method of auxiliary functions, we find the six smallest points of ₂ in (√2,l). The polynomials involved in the auxiliary function are found by a recursive algorithm.

Topics in computational algebraic number theory

Karim Belabas (2004)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

We describe practical algorithms from computational algebraic number theory, with applications to class field theory. These include basic arithmetic, approximation and uniformizers, discrete logarithms and computation of class fields. All algorithms have been implemented in the Pari/Gp system.

Totally indefinite Euclidean quaternion fields

Jean-Paul Cerri, Jérôme Chaubert, Pierre Lezowski (2014)

Acta Arithmetica

We study the Euclidean property for totally indefinite quaternion fields. In particular, we establish a complete list of norm-Euclidean such fields over imaginary quadratic number fields. This enables us to exhibit an example which gives a negative answer to a question asked by Eichler. The proofs are both theoretical and algorithmic.
