Graded rings of Hermitian modular forms with singularities

We study graded rings of meromorphic Hermitian modular forms of degree two whose poles are supported on an arrangement of Heegner divisors. For the group $$\mathrm {SU}_{2,2}({\mathcal {O}}_K)$$ SU 2 , 2 ( O K ) where K is the imaginary-quadratic number field of discriminant $$-d$$ - d , $$d \in \{4, 7,8,11,15,19,20,24\}$$ d ∈ { 4 , 7 , 8 , 11 , 15 , 19 , 20 , 24 } we obtain a polynomial algebra without relations. In particular the Looijenga compactifications of the arrangement complements are weighted projective spaces.

A note on Dedekind zeta values at 1/2

For a number field [Formula: see text], let [Formula: see text] be the Dedekind zeta function associated to [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we study non-vanishing and transcendence of [Formula: see text] as well as its derivative [Formula: see text] at [Formula: see text]. En route, we strengthen a result proved by Ram Murty and Tanabe [On the nature of [Formula: see text] and non-vanishing of [Formula: see text]-series at [Formula: see text], J. Number Theory 161 (2016) 444–456].

Composition of binary quadratic forms over number fields

In this article, the standard correspondence between the ideal class group of a quadratic number field and the equivalence classes of binary quadratic forms of given discriminant is generalized to any base number field of narrow class number one. The article contains an explicit description of the correspondence. In the case of totally negative discriminants, equivalent conditions are given for a binary quadratic form to be totally positive definite.

Higher-dimensional Calabi–Yau varieties with dense sets of rational points

We construct higher-dimensional Calabi–Yau varieties defined over a given number field with Zariski dense sets of rational points. We give two elementary constructions in arbitrary dimensions as well as another construction in dimension three which involves certain Calabi–Yau threefolds containing an Enriques surface. The constructions also show that potential density holds for (sufficiently) general members of the families.

A Density of Ramified Primes

Let K be a cyclic number field of odd degree over $${\mathbb {Q}}$$ Q with odd narrow class number, such that 2 is inert in $$K/{\mathbb {Q}}$$ K / Q . We define a family of number fields $$\{K(p)\}_p$$ { K ( p ) } p , depending on K and indexed by the rational primes p that split completely in $$K/{\mathbb {Q}}$$ K / Q , in which p is always ramified of degree 2. Conditional on a standard conjecture on short character sums, the density of such rational primes p that exhibit one of two possible ramified factorizations in $$K(p)/{\mathbb {Q}}$$ K ( p ) / Q is strictly between 0 and 1 and is given explicitly as a formula in terms of the degree of the extension $$K/{\mathbb {Q}}$$ K / Q . Our results are unconditional in the cubic case. Our proof relies on a detailed study of the joint distribution of spins of prime ideals.

On Gauss sums over dedekind domains

It is a difficult question to generalize Gauss sums to a ring of algebraic integers of an arbitrary algebraic number field. In this paper, we define and discuss Gauss sums over a Dedekind domain of finite norm. In particular, we give a Davenport–Hasse type formula for some special Gauss sums. As an application, we give some more precise formulas for Gauss sums over the algebraic integer ring of an algebraic number field (see Theorems 4.1 and 4.2).

The Hecke Group H λ 4 Acting on Imaginary Quadratic Number Fields

Let H λ 4 be the Hecke group x , y : x 2 = y 4 = 1 and, for a square-free positive integer n , consider the subset ℚ ∗ − n = a + − n / c | a , b = a 2 + n / c ∈ ℤ , c ∈ 2 ℤ of the quadratic imaginary number field ℚ − n . Following a line of research in the relevant literature, we study the properties of the action of H λ 4 on ℚ ∗ − n . In particular, we calculate the number of orbits arising from this action for every such n . Some illustrative examples are also given.

On Power Integral Bases for Certain Pure Number Fields Defined by x 36 − m

Let K = ℚ(α) be a number field generated by a complex root a of a monic irreducible polynomial ƒ (x) = x36 − m, with m ≠ ±1 a square free rational integer. In this paper, we prove that if m ≡ 2 or 3 (mod 4) and m ≠ ±1 (mod 9) then the number field K is monogenic. If m ≡ 1 (mod 4) or m ≡±1 (mod 9), then the number field K is not monogenic.
