Abstract We estimate, in a number field, the number of elements and the maximal number of linearly independent elements, with prescribed bounds on their valuations. As a by-product, we obtain new bounds for the successive minima of ideal lattices. Our arguments combine group theory, ramification theory, and the geometry of numbers.

Let K be an open convex domain in n-dimensional Euclidean space, symmetric about the origin O, and of finite Jordan content (volume) V. With K are associated n positive constants λ1, λ2,…,λn, the ‘successive minima of K’ and n linearly independent lattice points (points with integer coordinates) P1, P2, …, Pn (not necessarily unique) such that all lattice points in the body λ,K are linearly dependent on P1, P2, …, Pj-1. The points P1,…, Pj lie in λK provided that λ > λj. For j = 1 this means that λ1K contains no lattice point other than the origin. Obviously

Let K be a bounded, open convex set in euclidean n-space Rn, symmetric in the origin 0. Further let L be a lattice in Rn containing 0 and put extended over all positive real numbers ui for which uiK contains i linearly independent points of L. Denote the Jordan content of K by V(K) and the determinant of L by d(L). Minkowski's second inequality in the geometry of numbers states that Minkowski's original proof has been simplified by Weyl [6] and Cassels [7] and a different proof hasbeen given by Davenport [1].

The paper describes a “dyadic” type of political structure which, it is argued, is a necessary supplement to class and interest group models for the analysis of informal political structure in contemporary Southeast Asia, and probably in other developing areas.Various types of simple and complex dyadic structures are described. The paper then examines four Southeast Asian polities, of different degrees of political development, with attention to the manner in which they combine group and dyadic structures. The examples are the Kalinga, a pagan ethnolinguistic group of Northern Luzon; the Tausug, a Muslim group of the Sulu archipelago; the traditional Thai monarchy; and the present Republic of the Philippines. In each case the effects of structure upon the operation of the system are explored. The paper concludes with a set of paired propositions concerning the characteristics of “trait associations” and “personal followings.”

Given a finitely generated multiplicative subgroup Us in a number field, we employ a simple argument from the geometry of numbers and an inequality on multiplicative dependence in number fields to obtain a minimal set of generators consisting of elements of relatively small height.

Let K be a bounded open convex set in euclidean n-space Rn symmetric in the origin 0. Further let L be a discrete point set in Rn containing 0 and at least n linearly independent points of Rn. Put mi = inf ui extended over all positive real numbers ui for which uiK contains i linearly independent points of L, i = 1, 2, …, n.

For fixed complex with , the -logarithm is the meromorphic continuation of the series , into the whole complex plane. If is an algebraic number field, one may ask if are linearly independent over for satisfying . In 2004, Tachiya showed that this is true in the Subcase , , , and the present authors extended this result to arbitrary integer from an imaginary quadratic number field , and provided a quantitative version. In this paper, the earlier method, in particular its arithmetical part, is further developed to answer the above question in the affirmative if is the Eisenstein number field , an integer from , and a primitive third root of unity. Under these conditions, the linear independence holds also for , and both results are quantitative.

Let G be a locally compact and (σ-compact topological group and let H be a discrete subgroup of G. We shall use G/H to denote the space of right cosets Hx of H with the usual topology (cf. (8, pp. 26-28)). Let μ be the left Haar measure in G. μ induces a measure in the space G/H3; this measure will, without ambiguity in this paper, also be denoted by μ. If μ(G/H) is finite, the group H is called a lattice. If the space G/H is compact, then H is certainly a lattice and is called a bounded lattice. These terms are an extension of the usage of the Geometry of Numbers, where G is the real n-dimensional vector space Rn. In this case any lattice is generated by n linearly independent vectors, all lattices are bounded, and the whole family of lattices is permuted transitively by the automorphisms of G (which are the non-singular linear transformations).

AbstractOne family of candidates to build a post-quantum cryptosystem upon relies on euclidean lattices. In order to make such cryptosystems more efficient, one can consider special lattices with an additional algebraic structure such as ideal lattices. Ideal lattices can be seen as ideals in a number field. However recent progress in both quantum and classical computing showed that such cryptosystems can be cryptanalysed efficiently over some number fields. It is therefore important to study the security of such cryptosystems for other number fields in order to have a better understanding of the complexity of the underlying mathematical problems. We study in this paper the case of multicubic fields.
