Distance Problem

Abstract Let K be an algebraic number field. We investigate the K-rational distance problem and prove that there are infinitely many nonisomorphic cubic number fields and a number field of degree n for every $n\geq 2$ in which there is a point in the plane of a unit square at K-rational distances from the four vertices of the square.

Principal Order

Let R be an order in an algebraic number field. If R is a principal order, then many explicit results on its arithmetic are available. Among others, R is half-factorial if and only if the class group of R has at most two elements. Much less is known for non-principal orders. Using a new semigroup theoretical approach, we study half-factoriality and further arithmetical properties for non-principal orders in algebraic number fields.

Abelian Number Field

Let I be an odd prime number and let K be an algebraic number field of degree I. Let M denote the genus field of K, i.e., the maximal extension of K which is a composite of an absolute abelian number field with K and is unramified at all the finite primes of K. In [4] Ishida has explicitly constructed M. Therefore it is of some interest to investigate unramified cyclic extensions of K of degree l, which are not contained in M. In the preceding paper [6] we have obtained some results about this problem in the case that K is a pure cubic field. The purpose of this paper is to extend those results.

Necessary And Sufficient

For an algebraic number field [Formula: see text], let [Formula: see text] denote the discriminant of an algebraic number field [Formula: see text]. It is well known that if [Formula: see text] are algebraic number fields with coprime discriminants, then [Formula: see text] are linearly disjoint over the field [Formula: see text] of rational numbers and [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] being the degree of [Formula: see text] over [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we prove that the converse of this result holds in relative extensions of algebraic number fields. We also give some more necessary and sufficient conditions for the analogue of the above equality to hold for algebraic number fields [Formula: see text] linearly disjoint over [Formula: see text].

Let k be an algebraic number field of finite degree, and K a finite Galois extension of k. A central extension L of K/k is an algebraic number field which contains K and is normal over k, and whose Galois group over K is contained in the center of the Galois group Gal(L/k). We denote the maximal abelian extensions of k and K in the algebraic closure of k by kab and Kab respectively, and the maximal central extension of K/k by MCK/k. Then we have Kab⊃MCK/k⊃kab·K.

AbstractThis note deals with some properties of algebraic number fields generated by numbers having all their conjugates on a circle. In particular, it is shown that an algebraic number field is a CM-field if and only if it is generated over the rationals by an element (not equal to ±1) whose conjugate all lie on the unit circle.Subject classification (Amer. Math. Soc. (MOS) 1970): 12 A 15, 12 A 40, 14 K 22.

Let k be an algebraic number field and K be its normal extension of finite degree. Then the genus field K* of K over k is defined as the maximal unramified extension of K which is obtained from K by composing an abelian extension over k2). We call the degree (K*: K) the genus number of K over k.

Totally Positive

Let K be a finite algebraic number field, of degree R. Then those integers of K which may be expressed as a sum of dth powers generate a subring JK, d of the integers of K (JK, d need not be an ideal of K, as the simplest example K = Q(i), d = 2 shows. JK, d is an order, it in fact contains all integer multiples of d!; it also contains all rational integers). Siegel(12) showed that every sufficiently large totally positive integer of JK, d is the sum of at most (2d−1 + R) Rd totally positive dth powers; and he conjectured that the number of dth powers necessary should be independent of the field K—for instance, he had proved(11) that five squares are enough for every K. In this paper, we will show that, as far as the analytic part of the argument is concerned, Siegel's conjecture is correct. I have not been able to deal properly with the problem of proving that the singular series is positive; but since Siegel wrote, a good deal of extra information about singular series has been obtained, in particular by Stemmler(14) and Gray(4). The most spectacular consequence of all this is that if p is prime, then every large enough totally positive integer of JK, p is a sum of (2p + 1) totally positive pth. powers.

Cubic Forms

In 1935 Tartakowski (7) proved that, in general, a cubic form in sufficiently many variables with coefficients in an algebraic number field K has a non-trivial zero in that field; and in the case when K is the rational field 57 variables suffice. Here, ‘in general’ means that the coefficients of the form do not lie in a proper subvariety of the coefficient space. Hence, Tartakowski's result holds for almost all cubic forms. Later, Lewis (5) proved that if K is any algebraic number field such that [K: Q] = n, then there exists a function ψ(n) such that every cubic form over K in m ≥ ψ(n) variables has a non-trivial zero in K. His bound, ψ(n), is extremely large; e.g. when K is the rational field, ψ(1) > 500.
