      • An algebraic number is a number that is a root of a non-zero polynomial in one variable with integer (or, equivalently, rational) coefficients. For example, the golden ratio,, is an algebraic number, because it is a root of the polynomial x2 − x − 1. That is, it is a value for x for which the polynomial evaluates to zero.

  2. Algebraic number theory is the study of roots of polynomials with rational or integral coefficients. These numbers lie in algebraic structures with many similar properties to those of the integers.

    because we can factor any element into a product of primes. When we work over other number fields, we want something analogous: what do the integers look like in a number field? Let K be a finite field extension of of degree n. Take any 2 K. Define a Q homomorphism of -algebras Q [x] K Q x Since [x] is a principal ideal domain (PID), the kernel of ...

    where p, q are (not necessarily principal) prime ideals. In this course, we will study number fields and their rings of integers, and then use these to study the integers and Diophantine equations. Here are some things we want to understand: OK is a ring; the structure of the abelian group (OK, +); the structure of the group of units OK; unique fac...

    On the level of simple tensors, an explicit isomorphism K given by is C ! C = n

    Notice that each i( ) is a root of p (x), since p has rational coefficients and i is a morphism of -algebras. Q

    In particular, we have N( OK) = j NK/ ( ) . Note that the larger an ideal is, Q j the smaller its norm.

    The rings of integers OK are nice, but they don’t have everything we might want. Unique factorization may fail in OK.

Gaussian integers. The ring of Gaussian integers is given by. \bb Z [i]=\ {a+bi\,:\,a,b\in\bb Z\}. Z[i] = {a + bi: a,b ∈ Z}.

  6. An algebraic number is a number that is a root of a non-zero polynomial in one variable with integer (or, equivalently, rational) coefficients. For example, the golden ratio, (+) /, is an algebraic number, because it is a root of the polynomial x 2 − x − 1. That is, it is a value for x for which the polynomial evaluates to zero.

  7. An algebraic extension K/F is separable if pα has distinct roots for all α ∈ K, and inseparable otherwise. A standard example of an inseparable extension is the extension Fp((t1/p))/Fp((t)). Note the minimal polynomial of t1/p is xp − t, and if you view it as a polynomial in Fp((t1/p)), then it factors as.
