Tame kernels of pure cubic fields

In this paper, we study the p-rank of the tame kernels of pure cubic fields. In particular, we prove that for a fixed positive integer m, there exist infinitely many pure cubic fields whose 3-rank of the tame kernel equal to m. As an application, we determine the 3-rank of their tame kernels for some special pure cubic fields.     

Tame kernels of cubic cyclic fields

There are many results describing the structure of the tame kernels of algebraic number fields and relating them to the class numbers of appropriate fields. In the present paper we give some explicit results on tame kernels of cubic cyclic fields. Table 1 collects the results of computations of the structure of the tame kernel for all cubic fields with only one ramified prime

In particular, we investigate the structure of the 7-primary and 13-primary parts of the tame kernels. The theoretical tools we develop, based on reflection theorems and singular primary units, enable the determination of the structure even of 7-primary and 13-primary parts of the tame kernels for all fields as above. The results are given in Tables 2 and 3.

     

Ideal counting function in cubic fields

For a cubic algebraic extension K of ?, the behavior of the ideal counting function is considered in this paper. More precisely, let a _K (n) be the number of integral ideals of the field K with norm n, we prove an asymptotic formula for the sum \(\sum\nolimits_{n_1^2 + n_2^2 \leqslant x} {a_K \left( {n_1^2 + n_2^2 } \right)} \).     

Minimal indices of pure cubic fields

The minimal index of a pure cubic field was shown to assume arbitrarily large values by M. Hall. In this paper we extend this result by showing that every cubefree integer occurs as the minimal index of infinitely many pure cubic fields.     

Abelian integrals for cubic vector fields

It is proved in this paper that the lowest upper bound of the number of the isolated zeros of the Abelian integral

Stark's conjecture over complex cubic number fields

Systematic computation of Stark units over nontotally real base fields is carried out for the first time. Since the information provided by Stark's conjecture is significantly less in this situation than the information provided over totally real base fields, new techniques are required. Precomputing Stark units in relative quadratic extensions (where the conjecture is already known to hold) and coupling this information with the Fincke-Pohst algorithm applied to certain quadratic forms leads to a significant reduction in search time for finding Stark units in larger extensions (where the conjecture is still unproven). Stark's conjecture is verified in each case for these Stark units in larger extensions and explicit generating polynomials for abelian extensions over complex cubic base fields, including Hilbert class fields, are obtained from the minimal polynomials of these new Stark units.

     

Diophantine equations arising from cubic number fields

The solutions to a certain system of Diophantine equations and congruences determine, and are determined by, units in galois cubic number fields. These solutions fall into two classes: certain ones determine infinite families of solutions, while others do not. We construct an infinite number of examples of each type of solution. We obtain these results by relating certain pairs of units in arbitrary cubic number fields to solutions of a larger system of Diophantine equations.     

A mean value theorem for cubic fields

Let r(n) denote the number of integral ideals of norm n in a cubic extension K of the rationals, and define and Δ(x)=S(x)−αx where α is the residue of the Dedekind zeta function ζ(s,K) at 1. It is shown that the abscissa of convergence of

The arithmetic of certain cubic function fields

In this paper, we discuss the properties of curves of the form over a given field K of characteristic different from 3. If satisfies certain properties, then the Jacobian of such a curve is isomorphic to the ideal class group of the maximal order in the corresponding function field. We seek to make this connection concrete and then use it to develop an explicit arithmetic for the Jacobian of such curves. From a purely mathematical perspective, this provides explicit and efficient techniques for performing arithmetic in certain ideal class groups which are of fundamental interest in algebraic number theory. At the same time, it provides another source of groups which are suitable for Diffie-Hellman type protocols in cryptographic applications.

     

Nonsingular plane cubic curves over finite fields

We determine the number of projectively inequivalent nonsingular plane cubic curves over a finite field F_q with a fixed number of points defined over F_q. We count these curves by counting elliptic curves over F_q together with a rational point which is annihilated by 3, up to a certain equivalence relation.     

Computing Stark units for totally real cubic fields

A method for computing provably accurate values of partial zeta functions is used to numerically confirm the rank one abelian Stark Conjecture for some totally real cubic fields of discriminant less than 50000. The results of these computations are used to provide explicit Hilbert class fields and some ray class fields for the cubic extensions.

     

The regulator spectrum for totally real cubic fields

Subject to a mild hypothesis, it is proved that there exists a set of totally real cubic fields, with regulatorsR and discriminantsD, such that the corresponding numbersR/log² D are dense in the interval [1/16, 1/12].
