  1. Number Theory Alexander Paulin August 31, 2009 Lecture 2 Number Fields Throughout this section all rings will be commutative with unit. Dedekind Domains A number field is a finite field extension E/Q. The simplest example is Q. By construction we have the inclusion Z ⊂ Q. Q is the field of fractions of Z. It is elementary to show that

  2. MATH 154. ALGEBRAIC NUMBER THEORY 7 and 4 = (1 + p 3)(1 p 3). We claim: Lemma 1.16. The element 2 is irreducible in Z[p 3]. Proof. Say 2 = ab, so by conjugating both sides we have 2 = ab. Multiply-ing both relations gives 4 = (aa)(bb). with aa and bb each a non-negative integer since for a = u + v p 3 with u,v 2Z we have aa = u2 +3v2. But u2 ...

  5. Algebraic number theory involves using techniques from (mostly commutative) algebra and finite group theory to gain a deeper understanding of number fields. The main objects that we study in algebraic number theory are number fields, rings of integers of number fields, unit groups, ideal class groups,norms, traces,

  6. Algebraic number theory is a subject that came into being through the attempts of mathe-maticians to try to prove Fermat’s last theorem and that now has a wealth of applications to Diophantine equations, cryptography, factoring, primality testing, and public-key cryp-tosystems. This book provides an introduction to the subject suitable for ...

  7. The main objects of algebraic number theory are number fields. Definition 1.1. A number field is an extension field of Q of finite degree, i.e. K Qwith [K: Q] = dim Q K<1. Example 1.2. Q, Q(p 2), Q(p-3), Q(3 p 5). Theorem 1.3 (Primitive Element). For any number field K, K= Q( ) for some . In number theory, we study the integers Z Q. The ...
