Mod P

It is shown that the splitting modulo a prime p of a given monic, integral, irreducible cubic with non-square discriminant is equivalent to p being represented by forms in a certain subgroup of index 3 in the form class group of discriminant equal to the discriminant of the field defined by the cubic.

Exceptional Character

Let [Formula: see text] be a number field, [Formula: see text] be an integral ideal, and [Formula: see text] be the associated narrow ray class group. Suppose [Formula: see text] possesses a real exceptional character [Formula: see text], possibly principal, with a Siegel zero [Formula: see text]. For [Formula: see text] satisfying [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text], we establish an effective [Formula: see text]-uniform Linnik-type bound with explicit exponents for the least norm of a prime ideal [Formula: see text]. A special case of this result is a bound for the least rational prime represented by certain binary quadratic forms.

AbstractIn this article we show that the Czech mathematician Václav Šimerka discovered the factorization of $\frac{1}{9} (1{0}^{17} - 1)$ using a method based on the class group of binary quadratic forms more than 120 years before Shanks and Schnorr developed similar algorithms. Šimerka also gave the first examples of what later became known as Carmichael numbers.

Mod P

Let $\Delta$ be a negative integer which is congruent to 0 or 1 (mod 4). Let $H(\Delta)$ denote the form class group of classes of positive-definite, primitive integral binary quadratic forms $ax^2 +bxy +cy^2$ of discriminant $\Delta$. If $H(\Delta)$ is a cyclic group of order 4, an explicit quartic polynomial $\rho \Delta(x)$ of the form $x^4-bx^2 +d$ with integral coefficients is determined such that for an odd prime $p$ not dividing $\Delta$, $p$ is represented by the principal form of discriminant $\Delta$ if and only if the congruence $\rho \Delta(x) \equiv 0$ (mod $p$) has four solutions.

The Relationship

We investigate the relationship between the numbers of representations of certain integers by a primitive integral binary quadratic form [Formula: see text] of discriminant [Formula: see text] and the order of the class of [Formula: see text] in the form class group of discriminant [Formula: see text], in the case when this order is even. The explicit form of the solutions obtained is used to give a partial answer to a question regarding which multiples of [Formula: see text] can be parameterized in a particular way.

As an interpretation and a generalization of Gauss’ genus theory on binary quadratic forms in the language of arithmetic of algebraic tori, Ono [02] established an equality between a kind of “Euler number E(K/k)” for a finite Galois extension K/k of algebraic number fields and other arithmetical invariants associated to K/k. His proof depended on his Tamagawa number formula [01] and Shyr’s formula [Sh] which follows from the analytic class number formula of a torus. Later, two direct proofs were given by Katayama [K] and Sasaki [Sa].
