Quintic Polynomials and Real Cyclotomic Fields with Large Class Numbers
نویسنده
چکیده
We study a family of quintic polynomials discoverd by Emma Lehmer. We show that the roots are fundamental units for the corresponding quintic fields. These fields have large class numbers and several examples are calculated. As a consequence, we show that for the prime p = 641491 the class number of the maximal real subfield of the pth cyclotomic field is divisible by the prime 1566401. In an appendix we give a characterization of the "simplest" quadratic, cubic and quartic fields.

Efficient computation of root numbers and class numbers of parametrized families of real abelian number fields
Let {Km} be a parametrized family of simplest real cyclic cubic, quartic, quintic or sextic number fields of known regulators, e.g., the so-called simplest cubic and quartic fields associated with the polynomials Pm(x) = x3 − mx2 − (m + 3)x + 1 and Pm(x) = x4 − mx3 − 6x2 + mx + 1. We give explicit formulas for powers of the Gaussian sums attached to the characters associated with these simplest...
متن کاملEfficient Computation of Class Numbers of Real Abelian Number Fields
Let {Km} be a parametrized family of real abelian number fields of known regulators, e.g. the simplest cubic fields associated with the Q-irreducible cubic polynomials Pm(x) = x −mx2 − (m+ 3)x− 1. We develop two methods for computing the class numbers of these Km’s. As a byproduct of our computation, we found 32 cyclotomic fields Q(ζp) of prime conductors p < 10 for which some prime q ≥ p divid...
متن کاملOn Principal Ideal Testing in Totally Complex Quartic Fields and the Determination of Certain Cyclotomic Constants
Let if be any totally complex quartic field. Two algorithms are described for determining whether or not any given ideal in if is principal. One of these algorithms is very efficient in practice, but its complexity is difficult to analyze; the other algorithm is computationally more elaborate but, in this case, a complexity analysis can be provided. These ideas are applied to the problem of det...
متن کاملOn D5-polynomials with integer coefficients
We give a family of D5-polynomials with integer coefficients whose splitting fields over Q are unramified cyclic quintic extensions of quadratic fields. Our polynomials are constructed by using Fibonacci, Lucas numbers and units of certain cyclic quartic fields.
متن کاملCyclotomic Numbers of Order 5 Over F_p^n
In this paper, we derive the cyclotomic numbers of order 5 over an extension field Fpn using the well-known results of quintic Jacobi sums over Fp [1]. For p ≡ 1 mod 5, we have obtained the simple closed-form expression of the cyclotomic numbers of order 5 over Fpn . For p ≡ 1 mod 5, we express the cyclotomic number of order 5 over Fpn in terms of the solution of the diophantine system which is...
