In this note, we denote by Q the rational number field, by EΩ the whole unit group of an arbitrary number field Ω of finite degree, and by rΩ the rank of where generally G* for an arbitrary abelian group G means a maximal torsion-free subgroup of G. (NK/ΩEK)* is shortly denoted by and (G1 : G2) is, as usual, the index of a subgroup G2 in G1.

AbstractLet K be a number field, and let G be a finitely generated and torsion-free subgroup of K×. For almost all primes p of K, we consider the order of the cyclic group (G mod 𝔭), and ask whether this number lies in a given arithmetic progression. We prove that the density of primes for which the condition holds is, under some general assumptions, a computable rational number which is strictly positive. We have also discovered the following equidistribution property: if ℓe is a prime power and a is a multiple of ℓ (and a is a multiple of 4 if ℓ =2), then the density of primes 𝔭 of K such that the order of (G mod 𝔭) is congruent to a modulo ℓe only depends on a through its ℓ-adic valuation.

Let k be an algebraic number field of finite degree, and p be a fixed rational prime. We denote the set of all the non-Archimedian prime divisors of k by S0(k) and the set of all the real Archimedian ones by (k). Put and S = S0 ∪ S∞, and define a subgroup of the unit group (k) of k by

For all number fields the failure of maximality for the Kummer extensions is bounded in a very strong sense. We give a direct proof (without relying on the Bashmakov–Ribet method) of the fact that if [Formula: see text] is a finitely generated and torsion-free multiplicative subgroup of a number field [Formula: see text] having rank [Formula: see text], then the ratio between [Formula: see text] and the Kummer degree [Formula: see text] is bounded independently of [Formula: see text]. We then apply this result to generalize to higher rank a theorem of Ziegler from 2006 about the multiplicative order of the reductions of algebraic integers (the multiplicative order must be in a given arithmetic progression, and an additional Frobenius condition may be considered).

Let Ω be an algebraic number field of finite degree, which we fix once for all, and let K be a cyclic extension over Ω such that the degree of K/Ω is a powerof a prime number l. It is obvious that the norm group NK/ΩeK of the unit group ek of K, being a subgroup of the unit group e of Ω contains the groupconsisting of all-th powersof ε∈e.

This chapter discusses the basic properties and applications of a symplectic representation, denoted by Ψ‎, and its kernel, called the Torelli group. After describing the algebraic intersection number as a symplectic form, the chapter presents three different proofs of the surjectivity of Ψ‎, each illustrating a different theme. It also illustrates the usefulness of the symplectic representation by two applications to understanding the algebraic structure of Mod(S). First, the chapter explains how this representation is used by Serre to prove the theorem that Mod(Sɡ) has a torsion-free subgroup of finite index. It thens uses the symplectic representation to prove, following Ivanov, the following theorem of Grossman: Mod(Sɡ) is residually finite. It also considers some of the pioneering work of Dennis Johnson on the Torelli group. In particular, a Johnson homomorphism is constructed and some of its applications are given.

Let G be a torsion-free abelian group of finite rank n and let F be a full free subgroup of G. Then G/F is isomorphic to T1 ⊕ … ⊕ Tn, where T1 ⊆ T2 ⊆ … ⊆ Tn ⊆ ℚ/ℤ. It is well known that type T1 = inner type G and type Tn = outer type G. In this note we give two characterisations of type Ti for 1 < i < n.

Abstract Let ${\cal N}\left( G \right)$ be the maximal normal definable torsion-free subgroup of a group G definable in an o-minimal structure M. We prove that the quotient $G/{\cal N}\left( G \right)$ has a maximal definably compact subgroup K, which is definably connected and unique up to conjugation. Moreover, we show that K has a definable torsion-free complement, i.e., there is a definable torsion-free subgroup H such that $G/{\cal N}\left( G \right) = K \cdot H$ and $K\mathop \cap \nolimits^ \,H = \left\{ e \right\}$ . It follows that G is definably homeomorphic to $K \times {M^s}$ (with $s = {\rm{dim}}\,G - {\rm{dim}}\,K$ ), and homotopy equivalent to K. This gives a (definably) topological reduction to the compact case, in analogy with Lie groups.

AbstractWe describe how to compute the ideal class group and the unit group of an order in a number field in subexponential time. Our method relies on the generalized Riemann hypothesis and other usual heuristics concerning the smoothness of ideals. It applies to arbitrary classes of number fields, including those for which the degree goes to infinity.
