On subfields of the cyclotomic field $\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_p)$

Let $p$ be an odd prime. Let $\zeta_p=e^{2\pi{\bf i}/p}$ and let $1\le k\le p-1$ be a divisor of $p-1$. Recently, when I learnt algebraic number theory, I met the following problem. If we let $$U_k=\{...

Is there a non-perfect field in which polynomials of large degree are reducible?

It is well-known that, in a real-closed field $K$, every polynomial of degree $>2$ is reducible in $K$. But in this case the characteristic of $K$ is zero. My question is: there exists a non-...

Extensions of p-adic number fields

Let $p$ be a prime number and $\mathbb{Q}_p$ be the $p-$adic rational field. Let $E/\mathbb{Q}_p$ be a fixed finite extension. On this site, I define a finite extension $F/E$ to be "good" if ...

Can global fields be defined as certain topological fields like local fields?

It's known that local fields can be defined as a non-discrete, Hausdorff (equivalently non-indiscrete), locally compact, topological field, which is the same as non-trivial (i.e. neither discrete nor ...

Field of algebraic functions

We assume $K$ as a field of characteristic zero. By a field of algebraic functions of one variable over $K$ we mean a field $R$ satisfying $R=K(x,y)$ with $x$ being transcendental over $K$, and $R$ is ...

Is there a field with finitely many abelian extensions, that is neither separably closed nor real closed?

If $K$ has only finitely many Galois extensions, then $K$ must be either separably closed or real closed. Are there any other fields whose abelianizations are finite extensions (i.e. whose absolute ...

Fibers of reciprocity maps and higher dimensional analogs

Part I. Say $K$ is a number field, $v$ is a finite place of $K$, $K_v$ the $v$-adic completion of $K$. We have the local Artin map for every finite $v$: $$\rho_v : K_v^{\times}\to\text{Gal}(K_v^{\...

Complete fields with algebraically closed residue field

I am looking for a reference where the following result is proven: Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field. If $K$ is a complete and discretely valued field with residue field $k$. Then $K$ is one ...

Polynomial equations in many variables have solutions (Lang 1952 paper)

I am trying to understand the proof of the following result: Suppose $F$ is a function field in $k$ variables over an algebraically closed field. Let $f_1,...,f_r \in F[x_1,...,x_n]$ be ...

p-adic expansion for elements in algebraic closure of p-adic numbers

In the following I will describe a proposal for the p-adic expansion of the elements of the algebraic closure $\overline{\mathbb{Q}_p}$ of $\mathbb{Q}_p$. My question is if this "conjecture" has been ...

Projective coordinates over a non UFD ring

Is it true that when the integers of a number field are not a UFD then not every point in projective $n$-space over that field can be given by relatively prime algebraic integer coordinates? When a ...

Class groups of orders

In Cox's book "Primes of the form $x^2 + ny^2$", he proves that in a quadratic imaginary field $K$, if $\mathcal O$ is an order of conductor $f \in \mathbb Z$, we have that the class group $\mathrm{Cl}...

Fields whose embeddings into the complex numbers are invariant under complex conjugation

Is there a general notion/description of fields $K$ such that the image of any embedding $K \hookrightarrow \mathbb{C}$ is invariant under complex conjugation, thus inducing an involution on $K$ which ...

Parity of class number of pure cubic fields

A pure cubic field is an algebraic number field of the form $K = \mathbb{Q}(\theta)$ with $\theta^3 = m$, $m \neq \pm 1$. What can be said about the parity (odd or even) of the class number of a pure ...

Analogue of a ring extension splitting in the Kummer case
