Explicit Kummer theory for quadratic fields

in JP Journal of Algebra, Number Theory and Applications (2021)

Let K be a quadratic number field and let \alpha \in K*. We present an explicit finite procedure to compute at once all Kummer degrees [K(\zeta_m,\sqrt[n]{\alpha}):K(\zeta_m)] for n,m \geq 1 with n|m ... [more ▼]

Let K be a quadratic number field and let \alpha \in K*. We present an explicit finite procedure to compute at once all Kummer degrees [K(\zeta_m,\sqrt[n]{\alpha}):K(\zeta_m)] for n,m \geq 1 with n|m, where \zeta_m denotes a primitive m-th root of unity. We can also replace \alpha by any finitely generated subgroup of K*. [less ▲]

Explicit Kummer theory for the rational numbers

Let G be a finitely generated multiplicative subgroup of Q* having rank r. The ratio between n^r and the Kummer degree [Q(\zeta_m,\sqrt[n]{G}) : Q(\zeta_m)], where n divides m, is bounded independently of ... [more ▼]

Let G be a finitely generated multiplicative subgroup of Q* having rank r. The ratio between n^r and the Kummer degree [Q(\zeta_m,\sqrt[n]{G}) : Q(\zeta_m)], where n divides m, is bounded independently of n and m. We prove that there exist integers m_0, n_0 such that the above ratio depends only on G, \gcd(m,m_0), and \gcd(n,n_0). Our results are very explicit and they yield an algorithm that provides formulas for all the above Kummer degrees (the formulas involve a finite case distinction). [less ▲]

Kummer theory for number fields and the reductions of algebraic numbers II

Let K be a number field, and let G be a finitely generated and torsion-free subgroup of K*. For almost all primes p of K, we consider the order of the cyclic group (G mod p), and ask whether this number ... [more ▼]

Let K be a number field, and let G be a finitely generated and torsion-free subgroup of K*. For almost all primes p of K, we consider the order of the cyclic group (G mod p), and ask whether this number lies in a given arithmetic progression. We prove that the density of primes for which the condition holds is, under some general assumptions, a computable rational number which is strictly positive. We have also discovered the following equidistribution property: if \ell^e is a prime power and a is a multiple of \ell (and a is a multiple of 4 if \ell=2), then the density of primes p of K such that the order of (G mod p) is congruent to a modulo \ell^e only depends on a through its \ell-adic valuation.
