The Iwasawa main conjecture fields has been an important tool to study the arithmetic of special values of $L$-functions of Hecke characters of imaginary quadratic fields. To obtain the finest possible invariants it is important to know the main conjecture for all prime numbers $p$ and also to have an equivariant version at disposal.
In this paper we first prove the main conjecture for imaginary quadratic fields for all prime numbers $p$, improving earlier results by Rubin. From this we deduce the equivariant main conjecture in the case that a certain $μ$-invariant vanishes. For prime numbers $p\nmid 6$ which split in $K$, this is a theorem by a result of Gillard.
We prove the Iwasawa-theoretic version of a Conjecture of Mazur--Rubin and Sano in the case of elliptic units. This allows us to derive the $p$-part of the equivariant Tamagawa number conjecture at $s = 0$ for abelian extensions of imaginary quadratic fields in the semi-simple case and, provided that a standard $μ$-vanishing hypothesis is satisfied, also in the general case.
Inspired by a paper of Salberger we give a new proof of Manin's conjecture for toric varieties over imaginary quadratic number fields by means of universal torsor parameterizations and elementary lattice point counting.
A conjecture of Manin predicts the distribution of rational points on Fano varieties. We provide a framework for proofs of Manin's conjecture for del Pezzo surfaces over imaginary quadratic fields, using universal torsors. Some of our tools are formulated over arbitrary number fields. As an application, we prove Manin's conjecture over imaginary quadratic fields K for the quartic del Pezzo surface S of singularity type A_3 with five lines given in P^4 by the equations vw - xy = vy + wy + xz = 0.
This paper is complementary to the work Rosen-Silverman, which derives a criteria on the number fields for the independence of Heegner points associated to them on non-CM elliptic curves. We show that the same criteria holds for CM elliptic curves. A generalisation of the independence criteria for the Heegner points associated to an order of fixed conductor of quadratic imaginary fields can also be found in this paper.
Let E/Q be an elliptic curve with a fixed modular parametrization F : X_0(N) --> E and let P_1,...,P_r be Heegner points on E attached to the rings of integers of distinct quadratic imaginary field k_1,...,k_r. We prove that if the odd parts of the class numbers of k_1,...,k_r are larger than a constant C=C(E,F) depending only on E and F, then the points P_1,...,P_r are independent in E/(torsion). We also discuss a possible application to the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem.
We construct, for imaginary quadratic number fields with class number 1, an arithmetic site of Connes-Consani type. The main difficulty here is that the constructions of Connes and Consani and part of their results strongly rely on the natural order existing on real numbers which is compatible with basic arithmetic operations. Of course nothing of this sort exists in the case of imaginary quadratic number fields with class number 1. We first define what we call arithmetic site for such number fields, we then calculate the points of those arithmetic sites and we express them in terms of the adè…
We establish large sieve inequalities for power moduli in imaginary quadratic number fields, extending earlier work of Baier and Bansal for the Gaussian field.
We show by adopting Schertz's argument with the Siegel-Ramachandra invariant that singular values of certain quotients of the $Δ$-function generate ring class fields over imaginary quadratic fields.
The families of simplest cubic, simplest quartic and simplest sextic fields and the related Thue equations are well known. The family of simplest cubic Thue equations was already studied in the relative case, over imaginary quadratic fields. In the present paper we give a similar extension of simplest quartic and simplest sextic Thue equations over imaginary quadratic fields. We explicitly give the solutions of these infinite parametric families of Thue equations over arbitrary imaginary quadratic fields.
A formula for the sum of quadratic residues modulus a prime $p=4n-1$ is studied. We relate some terms on this formula with roots of quadratics and provide an exhaustive analysis of new concepts based on these roots. A number of formulas for the sum of the quadratic residues are obtained. We finalize the paper by obtaining several identities involving $h(-p)$ the class number of the imaginary quadratic field $\mathbb Q(\sqrt{-p}).$
A positive definite Hermitian lattice is said to be 2-universal if it represents all positive definite binary Hermitian lattices. We find all 2-universal ternary and quaternary Hermitian lattices over imaginary quadratic number fields.
The classical quadratic Gauss sum can be thought of as an exponential sum attached to a quadratic form on a cyclic group. We introduce an equivariant version of Gauss sum for arbitrary finite quadratic forms, which is an exponential sum twisted by the action of the orthogonal group. We prove that simple arithmetic formulae hold for some basic classes of quadratic forms. In application, such invariant appears in the dimension formula for certain vector-valued modular forms.
The goal is to obtain an asymptotic formula for the number of quadratic extensions with bounded discriminant of a some quadratic number field with odd class number. This extends an already known result for Q.
In this paper, we associate canonically to every imaginary quadratic field $K=\Bbb Q(\sqrt{-D})$ one or two isogenous classes of CM abelian varieties over $K$, depending on whether $D$ is odd or even ($D \ne 4$). These abelian varieties are characterized as of smallest dimension and smallest conductor, and such that the abelian varieties themselves descend to $\Bbb Q$. When $D$ is odd or divisible by 8, they are the `canonical' ones first studied by Gross and Rohrlich. We prove that these abelian varieties have the striking property that the vanishing order of their $L$-function at the center …
We extend formulae of Mertens and Mirsky on the asymptotic behaviour of the standard Euler function to the Euler functions of principal rings of integers of imaginary quadratic number fields, giving versions in angular sector and with congruences.
In this paper we extend methods of Rubin to prove the Gras conjecture for abelian extensions of a given imaginary quadratic field k and prime numbers p which divide the number of roots of unity in k.
We describe an efficient algorithm to calculate generators of power integral bases in composites of totally real fields with imaginary quadratic fields. We show that the calculation can be reduced to solving index form equations in the original totally real fields. We illustrate our method by investigating monogenity in the infinite parametric family of imaginary quadratic extensions of the simplest quartic fields.
We classify all quadratic imaginary number fields that have a Euclidean ideal class. There are seven of them, they are of class number at most two, and in each case the unique class that generates the class-group is moreover norm-Euclidean.
A formula for the class number $h$ of the imaginary quadratic field $Q(\sqrt{-p}$ is obtained by counting on a specific way the quadratic residues of a prime number of the form $p=4n-1.$ Formulas for the sum of the quadratic residues are also found.
We construct an Euler system attached to a weight 2 modular form twisted by a Groessencharacter of an imaginary quadratic field, and apply this to bounding Selmer groups.
We study an analog of Serre's conjecture over imaginary quadratic fields. In particular, we ask whether the weight recipe of Buzzard, Diamond and Jarvis will hold in this setting. Using a program written by the author, we provide computational evidence that this is in fact the case. In order to justify the method used in the program, we prove that a modular symbols method will work for arbitrary weights over imaginary quadratic fields.
In this paper, we study the moments of central values of Hecke $L$-functions associated with quadratic characters in $\mathbb{Q}(i)$ and $\mathbb{Q}(ω)$ with $ω= exp(2πi/3)$ and establish some quantitative non-vanishing result for these $L$-values.
Let p be an odd prime number. In this paper, we show existence of certain infinite families of imaginary quadratic fields in which p splits and whose Iwasawa λ-invariant of the cyclotomic Zp-extension is equal to 1.
We quantify a recent theorem of Wiles on class numbers of imaginary quadratic fields by proving an estimate for the number of negative fundamental discriminants down to -X whose class numbers are indivisible by a given prime and whose imaginary quadratic fields satisfy any given set of local conditions. This estimate matches the best results in the direction of the Cohen-Lenstra heuristics for the number of imaginary quadratic fields with class number indivisible by a given prime. This general result is applied to study rank 0 twists of certain elliptic curves.
Let $K$ be a non-cylotomic imaginary quadratic field of class number 1 and $E/K$ is an elliptic curve with $E(K)[2]\simeq \mathbb{Z}_1.$ We determine the odd-order torsion groups that can arise as $E(L)_{\text{tor}}$ where $L$ is a quadratic extension of $K.$
Let $G$ be a finite group and $K$ a finite field of characteristic $2$. Denote by $t$ the $2$-rank of the commutator factor group $G/G'$ and by $s$ the number of self-dual simple $KG$-modules. Then the Witt group of equivariant quadratic forms $\WQ (K,G)$ is isomorphic to an elementary abelian $2$-group of rank $s+t$.
In this paper, we prove a one level density result for the low-lying zeros of quadratic Hecke $L$-functions of imaginary quadratic number fields of class number one. As a corollary, we deduce, essentially, that at least $(19-\cot (1/4))/16 = 94.27... \%$ of the $L$-functions under consideration do not vanish at $1/2$.
Let $k$ be an imaginary quadratic number field, and $F/k$ a finite abelian extension of Galois group $G$. We show that a Gross conjecture concerning the leading terms of Artin $L$-series holds for $F/k$ and all rational primes which are split in $k$ and which do not divide $6$.
We present an adaptation of Voronoi theory for imaginary quadratic number fields of class number greater than 1. This includes a characterisation of extreme Hermitian forms which is analogous to the classic characterisation of extreme quadratic forms as well as a version of Voronoi's famous algorithm which may be used to enumerate all perfect Hermitian forms for a given imaginary quadratic number field in dimensions 2 and 3. We also present an application of the algorithm which allows to determine generators of the general linear group of an $Ø_K$-lattice.
In this paper, we will talk about the titled elliptic curve defined over imaginary quadratic fields such as $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-q})$, where $q$ is congruent to 3 modulo 8 and $(p,q)=1$.
The purpose of this article is to give an overview of the series of papers [BK1], [BK2] concerning the $p$-adic Beilinson conjecture of motives associated to Hecke characters of an imaginary quadratic field $K$, for a prime $p$ which splits in $K$.
We prove a non-minimal modularity lifting theorem for ordinary Galois representations over imaginary quadratic fields, conditional on a local-global compatibility conjecture for ordinary torsion classes.
In this work, we compute the perfect forms for all imaginary quadratic fields of absolute discriminant up to $5000$ and study the number and types of the polytopes that arise. We prove a bound on the combinatorial types of polytopes that can arise regardless of discriminant and give a volumetric argument for a lower bound on the number of perfect forms as well as a heuristic for a better lower bound for imaginary quadratic fields of sufficiently large absolute discriminant.
We extend the Cohen-Lenstra heuristics to the setting of ray class groups of imaginary quadratic number fields, viewed as exact sequences of Galois modules. By asymptotically estimating the mixed moments governing the distribution of a cohomology map, we prove these conjectures in the case of $4$-ranks.
For a given odd integer $n>1$, we provide some families of imaginary quadratic number fields of the form $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{x^2-t^n})$ whose ideal class group has a subgroup isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$.
In this paper we continue the study of codes over imaginary quadratic fields and their weight enumerators and theta functions. We present new examples of non-equivalent codes over rings of characteristic $p=2$ and $p=5$ which have the same theta functions. We also look at a generalization of codes over imaginary quadratic fields, providing examples of non-equivalent pairs with the same theta function for $p=3$ and $p=5$.
We extend to $p=2$ and $p=3$ the result of Gillard and Schneps which says that the $μ$-invariant of Katz $p$-adic $L$ functions attached to imaginary quadratic fields is zero for $p>3$. The arithmetic interpretation of this fact is given in the introduction.
We prove the local equivariant Tamagawa number conjecture for the motive of an abelian extension of an imaginary quadratic field with the action of the Galois group ring for all split primes p not equal to 2 or 3 at all negative integer values s.
We give an explicit construct of a harmonic weak Maass form $F_Θ$ that is a "lift" of $Θ^3$, where $Θ$ is the classical Jacobi theta function. Just as the Fourier coefficients of $Θ^3$ are related to class numbers of imaginary quadratic fields, the Fourier coefficients of the "holomorphic part" of $F_Θ$ are associated to class numbers of real quadratic fields.
We give criteria of the solvability of the diophantine equation $p=x^2+ny^2$ over some imaginary quadratic fields where $p$ is a prime element. The criteria becomes quite simple in special cases.
In this article we classify the complex quadratic number fields k with 2-class group of type (2,2,2) whose Hilbert 2-class fields have a 2-class group of rank 2, and then determine the length of their 2-class field towers.
Let $n>1$ be an odd integer. We prove that there are infinitely many imaginary quadratic fields of the form $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{x^2-2y^n})$ whose ideal class group has an element of order $n$. This family gives a counter example to a conjecture by H. Wada \cite{WA70} on the structure of ideal class groups.
Let $\ell>0$ be a square-free integer congruent to 3 mod 4 and $Ø_K$ the ring of integers of the imaginary quadratic field $K=Q(\sqrt{-\ell})$. Codes $C$ over rings $Ø_K / p Ø_K$ determine lattices $Λ_\ell (C) $ over $K$. If $ p \nmid \ell$ then the ring $\R:=Ø_K / p Ø_K$ is isomorphic to $\F_{p^2}$ or $\F_p \times \F_p$. Given a code $C$ over $\R$, theta functions on the corresponding lattices are defined. These theta series $θ_{Λ_{\ell}(C)}$ can be written in terms of the complete weight enumerator of $C$. We show that for any two $\ell < \ell^\prime$ the first $\frac {\ell + 1} 4$ terms of …
We relate non-critical special values $p$-adic $L$-functions associated to algebraic Hecke characters of an imaginary quadratic number field with class number one to $p$-adic Coleman function called the $p$-adic Eisenstein-Kronecker series, when the conductors of the algebraic Hecke characters are divisible by $p$.
The main purpose of this paper is to extend results on isomorphism types of the abelianized absolute Galois group $\mathcal G_K^{ab}$, where $K$ denotes imaginary quadratic field. In particular, we will show that if the class number $h_K$ of an imaginary quadratic field $K$ different from $\mathbb Q(i)$, $\mathbb Q(\sqrt{-2})$ is a fixed prime number $p$ then there are only two isomorphism types of $\mathcal G_K^{ab}$ which could occur. For instance, this result implies that imaginary quadratic fields of the discriminant $D_K$ belonging to the set $\{-35, -51, -91, -115, -123, -187, -235,$ $ -…
In this paper, we obtain an asymptotic formula for the number of imaginary quadratic fields with prime discriminant and class number up to $H$, as $H\to \infty$. Previously, such an asymptotic was only known under the assumption of the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, by the recent work of Holmin, Jones, Kurlberg, McLeman and Petersen.
We develop a criterion for a normal basis, and prove that the singular values of certain Siegel functions form normal bases of ray class fields over imaginary quadratic fields other than $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-1})$ and $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-3})$. This result would be an answer for the Lang-Schertz conjecture on a ray class field with modulus generated by an integer ($\geq2$).
By using a new formula of cubing ideals in imaginary quadratic number and function fields combined with Shank's NUCOMP algorithm, Imbert et al. presented a fast algorithms that compute a reduced output of cubing ideals and keep the sizes of the intermediate operands small. The authors asked whether there are specialized formulas to compute higher powers of ideals. In this note, we will derive such formulas.
We generalize Sczech's Eisenstein cocycle for $\mathrm{GL}(n)$ over totally real extensions of $\mathbb{Q}$ to finite extensions of imaginary quadratic fields. By evaluating the cocycle on certain cycles, we parametrize complex values of Hecke L-functions previously considered by Colmez, giving a cohomological interpretation of his algebraicity result on special values of the L-functions.
