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.
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 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.
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 $K.$
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 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.
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.
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.
For any odd prime $p,$ we construct an infinite family of pairs of imaginary quadratic fields $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d}),\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d+1})$ whose class numbers are both divisible by $p.$ One of our theorems settles Iizuka's conjecture for the case $n=1$ and $p >2.$
In this paper, we investigate the properties of well-rounded twists of a given ideal lattice of an imaginary quadratic field $K$. We show that every ideal lattice $I$ of $K$ has at least one well-rounded twist lattice. Moreover, we provide an explicit algorithm to compute all well-rounded twists of $I$.
Let $\mathcal{\scriptstyle{O}}_K$ be the ring of integers of an imaginary quadratic number field $K$. In this paper we give a new description of the maximal discrete extension of the group $SL_2(\mathcal{\scriptstyle{O}}_K)$ inside $SL_2(\mathbb{C})$, which uses generalized Atkin-Lehner involutions. Moreover we find a natural characterization of this group in $SO(1,3)$.
Let $R=\mathcal{O}_{\Q(\sqrt{d})}$ for $d<0$, squarefree, $d\neq -1,-3$. We prove Lehmer's conjecture for associated reciprocal polynomials of $R$-matrices; that is, any noncyclotomic $R$-matrix has Mahler measure at least $λ_0=1.176...$.
Let $\mathcal{F}(h)$ be the number of imaginary quadratic fields with class number $h$. In this note, we improve the error term in Soundararajan's asymptotic formula for the average of $\mathcal{F}(h)$. Our argument leads to a similar refinement of the asymptotic for the average of $\mathcal{F}(h)$ over odd $h$, which was recently obtained by Holmin, Jones, Kurlberg, McLeman and Petersen.
The aim of this paper is to study the group of elliptic units of a cyclic extension $L$ of an imaginary quadratic field $K$ such that the degree $[L:K]$ is a power of an odd prime $p$. We construct an explicit root of the usual top generator of this group and we use it to obtain an annihilation result of the $p$-Sylow subgroup of the ideal class group of $L$.
Let $ p $ and $ q $ be odd prime numbers with $ q - p = 2, $ the $φ-$Selmer groups, Shafarevich-Tate groups ($ φ- $ and $ 2-$part) and their dual ones as well the Mordell-Weil groups of elliptic curves $ y^{2} = x (x \pm p) (x \pm q) $ over imaginary quadratic number fields of class number one are determined explicitly in many cases.
We investigate the number ${\Cal F}(h)$ of imaginary quadratic fields with class number $h$. We establish an asymptotic formula for the average value of ${\Cal F}(h)$. We also establish a modest non-trivial upper bound for ${\Cal F}(h)$ and give an application to a question of Rosen and Silverman on the odd part of the class number. Finally, we speculate on the asymptotic nature of ${\Cal F}(h)$.
We generalize the lemmas of Thomas Kretschmer to arbitrary number fields, and apply them with a 2-descent argument to obtain bounds for families of elliptic curves over certain imaginary quadratic number fields with class number 1. One such family occurs in the congruent number problem. We consider the congruent number problem over these quadratic number fields, and subject to the finiteness of Sha, we show that there are infinitely many numbers that are not congruent over Q but become congruent over $Q(ζ_3)$.
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.
We study the gaps between products of two primes in imaginary quadratic number fields using a combination of the methods of Goldston-Graham-Pintz-Yildirim \cite{GGPY}, and Maynard \cite{MAY}. An important consequence of our main theorem is existence of infinitely many pairs $α_1, α_2$ which are product of two primes in the imaginary quadratic field $K$ such that $|σ(α_1-α_2)|\leq 2$ for all embedding $σ$ of $K$ if the class number of $K$ is one and $|σ(α_1-α_2)|\leq 8$ for all embedding $σ$ of $K$ if the class number of $K$ is two.
Let $k$ be an imaginary quadratic field and $p$ an odd prime number such that the $p$-rank of the class group of $k$ is one. Let $S$ be a finite set of places of $k$ distinct from $p$-adic places. We give sufficient conditions for the Galois group $G_S$, of the maximal pro-$p$-extension of $k$ which is unramified outside $S$, to be \textit{mild}, hence of cohomological dimension $2$.
In this paper, over imaginary quadratic fields, we consider the family of $L$-functions $L (s, f)$ for an orthonormal basis of spherical Hecke--Maass forms $f$ with Archimedean parameter $t_f$. We establish asymptotic formulae for the twisted first and second moments of the central values $L\big(\frac 1 2, f\big)$, which can be applied to prove that at least $33 \%$ of $L\big(\frac 1 2, f\big)$ with $t_f \leqslant T$ are non-vanishing as $T \rightarrow \infty$. Our main tools are the spherical Kuznetsov trace formula and the Voronoï summation formula over imaginary quadratic fields.
