Let $K$ be a number field with ring of integers $\mathbb{Z}_{K}$. We prove two asymptotic formulas connected with the distribution of irreducible elements in $\mathbb{Z}_{K}$. First, we estimate the maximum number of nonassociated irreducibles dividing a nonzero element of $\mathbb{Z}_{K}$ of norm not exceeding $x$ (in absolute value), as $x\rightarrow \infty$. Second, we count the number of irreducible elements of $\mathbb{Z}_{K}$ of norm not exceeding $x$ lying in a given arithmetic progression (again, as $x\rightarrow \infty$). When $K=\mathbb{Q}$, both results are classical; a new feature in the general case is the influence of combinatorial properties of the class group of $K$.

Let K be an algebraic number field with non-trivial class group G and let [Formula: see text] be its ring of integers. For k ∈ ℕ and some real x ≥ 1, let Fk (x) denote the number of non-zero principal ideals [Formula: see text] with norm bounded by x such that a has at most k distinct factorizations into irreducible elements. It is well known that Fk (x) behaves, for x → ∞, asymptotically like x( log x)-1+1/|G|( log log x) N k(G). We study N k (G) with new methods from Combinatorial Number Theory.

<em>Ring of integers under the addition and multiplication as integral domain can be imbedded to the field of rational numbers. In this paper we make&nbsp; a construction such that any integral domain can be&nbsp; a field of quotient. The construction contains three steps. First, we define element of field F from elements of integral domain D. Secondly, we show that the binary operations in fare well-defined. Finally, we prove that </em><em>&nbsp;</em><em>f</em><em> </em><em>:</em><em> </em><em>D </em><em>&reg;</em><em> </em><em>F is an isomorphisma. In this case, the polynomial ring F[x] as the integral domain can be imbedded to the field of quotient.</em>

AbstractLet R be a finite commutative ring. The set $${{\mathcal{F}}}(R)$$ F ( R ) of polynomial functions on R is a finite commutative ring with pointwise operations. Its group of units $${{\mathcal{F}}}(R)^\times $$ F ( R ) × is just the set of all unit-valued polynomial functions. We investigate polynomial permutations on $$R[x]/(x^2)=R[\alpha ]$$ R [ x ] / ( x 2 ) = R [ α ] , the ring of dual numbers over R, and show that the group $${\mathcal{P}}_{R}(R[\alpha ])$$ P R ( R [ α ] ) , consisting of those polynomial permutations of $$R[\alpha ]$$ R [ α ] represented by polynomials in R[x], is embedded in a semidirect product of $${{\mathcal{F}}}(R)^\times $$ F ( R ) × by the group $${\mathcal{P}}(R)$$ P ( R ) of polynomial permutations on R. In particular, when $$R={\mathbb{F}}_q$$ R = F q , we prove that $${\mathcal{P}}_{{\mathbb{F}}_q}({\mathbb{F}}_q[\alpha ])\cong {\mathcal{P}}({\mathbb{F}}_q) \ltimes _\theta {{\mathcal{F}}}({\mathbb{F}}_q)^\times $$ P F q ( F q [ α ] ) ≅ P ( F q ) ⋉ θ F ( F q ) × . Furthermore, we count unit-valued polynomial functions on the ring of integers modulo $${p^n}$$ p n and obtain canonical representations for these functions.

Let 𝔬 be the ring of integers in a number field. An integral quadratic form over 𝔬 is called regular if it represents all integers in 𝔬 that are represented by its genus. In [13,14] Watson proved that there are only finitely many inequivalent positive definite primitive integral regular ternary quadratic forms over ℤ. In this paper, we generalize Watson's result to totally positive regular ternary quadratic forms over [Formula: see text]. We also show that the same finiteness result holds for totally positive definite spinor regular ternary quadratic forms over [Formula: see text], and thus extends the corresponding finiteness results for spinor regular quadratic forms over ℤ obtained in [1,3].

AbstractIf H is a monoid and a = u1 ··· uk ∈ H with atoms (irreducible elements) u1, … , uk, then k is a length of a, the set of lengths of a is denoted by Ⅼ(a), and ℒ(H) = {Ⅼ(a) | a ∈ H} is the system of sets of lengths of H. Let R be a hereditary Noetherian prime (HNP) ring. Then every element of the monoid of non-zero-divisors R• can be written as a product of atoms. We show that if R is bounded and every stably free right R-ideal is free, then there exists a transfer homomorphism from R• to the monoid B of zero-sum sequences over a subset Gmax(R) of the ideal class group G(R). This implies that the systems of sets of lengths, together with further arithmetical invariants, of the monoids R• and B coincide. It is well known that commutative Dedekind domains allow transfer homomorphisms to monoids of zero-sum sequences, and the arithmetic of the latter has been the object of much research. Our approach is based on the structure theory of finitely generated projective modules over HNP rings, as established in the recent monograph by Levy and Robson. We complement our results by giving an example of a non-bounded HNP ring in which every stably free right R-ideal is free but which does not allow a transfer homomorphism to a monoid of zero-sum sequences over any subset of its ideal class group.

AbstractLet K and L be lattices, and let ϕ be a homomorphism of K into L.Then ϕ induces a natural 0-preserving join-homomorphism of Con K into Con L.Extending a result of Huhn, the authors proved that if D and E are finite distributive lattices and ψ is a 0-preserving join-homomorphism from D into E, then D and E can be represented as the congruence lattices of the finite lattices K and L, respectively, such that ψ is the natural 0-preserving join-homomorphism induced by a suitable homomorphism ϕ: K → L. Let m and n denote the number of join-irreducible elements of D and E, respectively, and let k = max (m, n). The lattice L constructed was of size O(22(n+m)) and of breadth n+m.We prove that K and L can be constructed as ‘small’ lattices of size O(k5) and of breadth three.

Abstract We compute the KMS (equilibrium) states for the canonical time evolution on C*-algebras from actions of congruence monoids on rings of algebraic integers. We show that for each $\beta \in [1,2]$, there is a unique KMS$_\beta $ state, and we prove that it is a factor state of type III$_1$. There are phase transitions at $\beta =2$ and $\beta =\infty $ involving a quotient of a ray class group. Our computation of KMS and ground states generalizes the results of Cuntz, Deninger, and Laca for the full $ax+b$-semigroup over a ring of integers, and our type classification generalizes a result of Laca and Neshveyev in the case of the rational numbers and a result of Neshveyev in the case of arbitrary number fields.
