Computing class fields via the Artin map
نویسنده
چکیده
Based on an explicit representation of the Artin map for Kummer extensions, we present a method to compute arbitrary class fields. As in the proofs of the existence theorem, the problem is first reduced to the case where the field contains sufficiently many roots of unity. Using Kummer theory and an explicit version of the Artin reciprocity law we show how to compute class fields in this case. We conclude with several examples.

Class field theory : ray class groups and ray class fields
In the previous lecture we proved the Kronecker-Weber theorem: every abelian extension L of Q lies in a cyclotomic extension Q(ζm)/Q. The isomorphism Gal(Q(ζm)/Q) ' (Z/mZ)× allows us to view Gal(L/Q) as a quotient of (Z/mZ)×. Conversely, for each quotient H of (Z/mZ)×, there is a subfield L of Q(ζm) for which H ' Gal(L/Q). We now want make the correspondence between H and L explicit, and then g...
متن کاملA Note on the Schmid-witt Symbol and Higher Local Fields
For a local field of characteristic p > 0, K, the combination of local class field theory and Artin-Schreier-Witt theory yield what is known as the Schmid-Witt symbol. The symbol encodes interesting data about the ramification theory of p-extensions of K and we can, for example, use it to compute the higher ramification groups of such extensions. In 1936, Schmid discovered an explicit formula f...
متن کاملExplicit Class Field Theory for Global Function Fields
Let F be a global function field and let F ab be its maximal abelian extension. Following an approach of D. Hayes, we shall construct a continuous homomorphism ρ : Gal(F /F ) → CF , where CF is the idele class group of F . Using class field theory, we shall show that our ρ is an isomorphism of topological groups whose inverse is the Artin map of F . As a consequence of the construction of ρ, we...
متن کاملIrreducible representations and Artin L-functions of quasi-cyclotomic fields
We determine all irreducible representations of primary quasi-cyclotomic fields in this paper. The methods can be applied to determine the irreducible representations of any quasi-cyclotomic field. We also compute the Artin L-functions for a class of quasi-cyclotomic fields.
متن کاملExtreme values of Artin L-functions and class numbers
Assuming the GRH and Artin conjecture for Artin L-functions, we prove that there exists a totally real number field of any fixed degree (> 1) with an arbitrarily large discriminant whose normal closure has the full symmetric group as Galois group and whose class number is essentially as large as possible. One ingredient is an unconditional construction of totally real fields with small regulato...
