We shall prove in the present note a theorem on units of algebraic number fields, applying one of the strongest formulations, be Hasse [3], of Grunwald’s existence theorem.

In a recent paper [3] Tannaka gave an interesting ordering theorem for subfields of a p-adic number field, The purpose of the present note is firstly to observe, on modifying Tannaka’s argument a little, that his restriction to those subfields over which the original field is abelian may be removed and in fact the theorem holds for arbitrary fields which are not p-adic number fields, indeed in a much refined form, and secondly to formulate a similar ordering theorem for algebraic number fields in terms of idèle-class groups in place of element groups.

In this paper the problem of constructing space–time from string theory is addressed in the context of D-brane physics. It is suggested that the knowledge of discrete configurations of D-branes is sufficient to reconstruct the motivic building blocks of certain Calabi–Yau varieties. The collections of D-branes involved have algebraic base points, leading to the notion of K-arithmetic D-crystals for algebraic number fields K. This idea can be tested for D0-branes in the framework of toroidal compactifications via the conjectures of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer. For the special class of D0-crystals of Heegner type these conjectures can be interpreted as formulae that relate the canonical Néron–Tate height of the base points of the D-crystals to special values of the motivic L-function at the central point. In simple cases the knowledge of the D-crystals of Heegner type suffices to uniquely determine the geometry.
