Ambiguous Classes in Quadratic Fields
We provide sufficient conditions for the class group of a quadratic field (with positive or negative discriminant) to be generated by ambiguous ideals. This investigation was motivated by a recent result of F. Halter-Koch, which we show is false.
متن کاملRational Divisors in Rational Divisor Classes
We discuss the situation where a curve C, defined over a number field K, has a known K-rational divisor class of degree 1, and consider whether this class contains an actual K-rational divisor. When C has points everywhere locally, the local to global principle of the Brauer group gives the existence of such a divisor. In this situation, we give an alternative, more down to earth, approach, whi...
متن کاملMarkoff numbers and ambiguous classes
The Markoff conjecture states that given a positive integer c, there is at most one triple (a, b, c) of positive integers with a ≤ b ≤ c that satisfies the equation a2 + b2 + c2 = 3abc. The conjecture is known to be true when c is a prime power or two times a prime power. We present an elementary proof of this result. We also show that if in the class group of forms of discriminant d = 9c2 − 4,...
متن کاملEffective Divisor Classes on a Ruled Surface
The Neron-Severi group of divisor classes modulo algebraic equivalence on a smooth algebraic surface is often not difficult to calculate, and has classically been studied as one of the fundamental invariants of the surface. A more difficult problem is the determination of those divisor classes which can be represented by effective divisors; these divisor classes form a monoid contained in the N...
متن کاملComputation of 2-groups of narrow logarithmic divisor classes of number fields
We present an algorithm for computing the 2-group e C` res F of narrow logarithmic divisor classes of degree 0 for number fields F . As an application, we compute in some cases the 2-rank of the wild kernel WK2(F ) and the 2-rank of its subgroup K ∞ 2 (F ) := ∩n≥1K 2 (F ) of infinite height elements in K2(F ).
