Class numbers of imaginary quadratic fields
The classical class number problem of Gauss asks for a classification of all imaginary quadratic fields with a given class number N . The first complete results were for N = 1 by Heegner, Baker, and Stark. After the work of Goldfeld and Gross-Zagier, the task was a finite decision problem for any N . Indeed, after Oesterlé handled N = 3, in 1985 Serre wrote, “No doubt the same method will work ...
متن کاملClass numbers of ray class fields of imaginary quadratic fields
Let K be an imaginary quadratic field with class number one and let p ⊂ OK be a degree one prime ideal of norm p not dividing 6dK . In this paper we generalize an algorithm of Schoof to compute the class numbers of ray class fields Kp heuristically. We achieve this by using elliptic units analytically constructed by Stark and the Galois action on them given by Shimura’s reciprocity law. We have...
متن کاملOn Congruent Primes and Class Numbers of Imaginary Quadratic Fields
We consider the problem of determining whether a given prime p is a congruent number. We present an easily computed criterion that allows us to conclude that certain primes for which congruency was previously undecided, are in fact not congruent. As a result, we get additional information on the possible sizes of Tate-Shafarevich groups of the associated elliptic curves. We also present a relat...
متن کاملDiophantine Equations and Class Numbers of Imaginary Quadratic Fields
Let A,D, K, k ∈ N with D square free and 2 | /k, B = 1, 2 or 4 and μi ∈ {−1, 1}(i = 1, 2), and let h(−21−eD)(e = 0 or 1) denote the class number of the imaginary quadratic field Q( √−21−eD). In this paper, we give the all-positive integer solutions of the Diophantine equation Ax +μ1B = K ( (Ay +μ2B)/K )n , 2 | / n, n > 1 and we prove that if D > 1, then h(−21−eD) ≡ 0(mod n), where D, and n sati...
متن کاملMaihemalik Dedekind Sums and Class Numbers
Formulas for the class number of an imaginary quadratic number field are proved. Some of these formulas were previously established by BEI~NI)T and by GOLDSTEIN and RAzE with the use of analytic methods. The proofs given here use Dirichlet's classical class number formula, but otherwise the proofs are completely elementary. A key ingredient in the proofs is the reciprocity theorem for Dedekind-...
