Number fields with large class groups
نویسنده
چکیده
After a review of the quadratic case, a general problem about the existence of number fields of a fixed degree with extremely large class numbers is formulated. This problem is solved for abelian cubic fields. Then some conditional results proven elsewhere are discussed about totally real number fields of a fixed degree, each of whose normal closure has the symmetric group as Galois group.

Dihedral and cyclic extensions with large class numbers
This paper is a continuation of [2]. We construct unconditionally several families of number fields with large class numbers. They are number fields whose Galois closures have as the Galois groups, dihedral groups Dn, n = 3, 4, 5, and cyclic groups Cn, n = 4, 5, 6. We first construct families of number fields with small regulators, and by using the strong Artin conjecture and applying some modi...
متن کاملOn the real quadratic fields with certain continued fraction expansions and fundamental units
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the real quadratic number fields $Q(sqrt{d})$ which contain the specific form of the continued fractions expansions of integral basis element where $dequiv 2,3( mod 4)$ is a square free positive integer. Besides, the present paper deals with determining the fundamental unit$$epsilon _{d}=left(t_d+u_dsqrt{d}right) 2left.right > 1$$and $n_d$ and $m_d...
متن کاملCryptography Based on Number Fields with Large Regulator
We explain a variant of the Fiat-Shamir identification and signature protocol which is based on the intractability of computing generators of principal ideals in algebraic number fields. We also show how to use the Cohen-Lenstra-Martinet heuristics for class groups to construct number fields in which computing generators of principal ideals is intractable.

متن کاملThe field descent and class groups of CM -fields
We consider the following “field descent problem” for principal ideals I of number fields K. Assume that I is invariant under a Galois automorphism σ of K; decide wether there is a generator g of I with gσ = g, i.e., wether I can be generated by an element of Fix σ. We solve this problem for certain ideals by elementary methods. As a consequence, we are able to exhibit large explicit subgroups ...
