An explicit class field theory for the real quadratic number fields is developed. The construction is based on the theory of the Hecke eigenforms (of weight two) and the notion of a pseudo-lattice with the real multiplication introduced by Yu. I. Manin. In particular, it is shown how to extend the domain of definition of the j-invariant to the quadratic irrational points at the boundary of the ...

In this paper, we explain the relations between combinatorial optimization and real algebraic geometry with a special focus to the quadratic assignment problem. We demonstrate how to write a quadratic optimization problem over discrete feasible set as a linear optimization problem over the cone of completely positive matrices. The latter formulation enables a hierarchy of approximations which r...

Let F be a real quadratic field with ring of integers Ø and with class number 1. Let Γ be a congruence subgroup of GL2(Ø). We describe a technique to compute the action of the Hecke operators on the cohomology H(Γ ;C). For F real quadratic this cohomology group contains the cuspidal cohomology corresponding to cuspidal Hilbert modular forms of parallel weight 2. Hence this technique gives a way...

Starting from the analytic class number formula involving its Lfunction, we first give an expression for the class number of an imaginary quadratic field which, in the case of large discriminants, provides us with a much more powerful numerical technique than that of counting the number of reduced definite positive binary quadratic forms, as has been used by Buell in order to compute his class ...

Let F/Q be a number field. The space of positive definite binary Hermitian forms over F form an open cone in a real vector space. There is a natural decomposition of this cone into subcones. In the case of an imaginary quadratic field these subcones descend to hyperbolic space to give rise to tessellations of 3-dimensional hyperbolic space by ideal polytopes. We compute the structure of these p...
