Pentagonal Extensions of the Rationals Ramified at a Single PrimeRodriguez, Pablo Miguel 17 December 2021 (has links)
In this thesis, we define a certain group of order 160, which we call a hyperpentagonal group, and we prove that every totally real D5-extension of the rationals ramified at only one prime is contained in a hyperpentagonal extension of the rationals. This generalizes a result of Doud and Childers (originally conjectured by Wong) that every totally real S3 extension of the rationals ramified at only one prime is contained in an S4 extension.

Three-Dimensional Galois Representations and a Conjecture of Ash, Doud, and PollackDang, Vinh Xuan 20 June 2011 (has links) (PDF)
In the 1970s and 1980s, Jean-Pierre Serre formulated a conjecture connecting two-dimensional Galois representations and modular forms. The conjecture came to be known as Serre's modularity conjecture. It was recently proved by Khare and Wintenberger in 2008. Serre's conjecture has various important consequences in number theory. Most notably, it played a key role in the proof of Fermat's last theorem. A natural question is, what is the analogue of Serre's conjecture for higher dimensional Galois representations? In 2002, Ash, Doud and Pollack formulated a precise statement for a higher dimensional analogue of Serre's conjecture. They also provided numerous computational examples as evidence for this generalized conjecture. We consider the three-dimensional version of the Ash-Doud-Pollack conjecture. We find specific examples of three-dimensional Galois representations and computationally verify the generalized conjecture in all these examples.

An Introduction to the General Number Field SieveBriggs, Matthew Edward 23 April 1998 (has links)
With the proliferation of computers into homes and businesses and the explosive growth rate of the Internet, the ability to conduct secure electronic communications and transactions has become an issue of vital concern. One of the most prominent systems for securing electronic information, known as RSA, relies upon the fact that it is computationally difficult to factor a "large" integer into its component prime integers. If an efficient algorithm is developed that can factor any arbitrarily large integer in a "reasonable" amount of time, the security value of the RSA system would be nullified. The General Number Field Sieve algorithm is the fastest known method for factoring large integers. Research and development of this algorithm within the past five years has facilitated factorizations of integers that were once speculated to require thousands of years of supercomputer time to accomplish. While this method has many unexplored features that merit further research, the complexity of the algorithm prevents almost anyone but an expert from investigating its behavior. We address this concern by first pulling together much of the background information necessary to understand the concepts that are central in the General Number Field Sieve. These concepts are woven together into a cohesive presentation that details each theory while clearly describing how a particular theory fits into the algorithm. Formal proofs from existing literature are recast and illuminated to clarify their inner-workings and the role they play in the whole process. We also present a complete, detailed example of a factorization achieved with the General Number Field Sieve in order to concretize the concepts that are outlined. / Master of Science

Special Cases of Density Theorems in Algebraic Number TheoryGaertner, Nathaniel Allen 24 August 2006 (has links)
This paper discusses the concepts in algebraic and analytic number theory used in the proofs of Dirichlet's and Cheboterev's density theorems. It presents special cases of results due to the latter theorem for which greatly simplified proofs exist. / Master of Science

Hopf-Galois module structure of some tamely ramified extensionsTruman, Paul James January 2009 (has links)
We study the Hopf-Galois module structure of algebraic integers in some finite extensions of $ p $-adic fields and number fields which are at most tamely ramified. We show that if $ L/K $ is a finite unramified extension of $ p $-adic fields which is Hopf-Galois for some Hopf algebra $ H $ then the ring of algebraic integers $ \OL $ is a free module of rank one over the associated order $ \AH $. If $ H $ is a commutative Hopf algebra, we show that this conclusion remains valid in finite ramified extensions of $ p $-adic fields if $ p $ does not divide the degree of the extension. We prove analogous results for finite abelian Galois extensions of number fields, in particular showing that if $ L/K $ is a finite abelian domestic extension which is Hopf-Galois for some commutative Hopf algebra $ H $ then $ \OL $ is locally free over $ \AH $. We study in greater detail tamely ramified Galois extensions of number fields with Galois group isomorphic to $ C_{p} \times C_{p} $, where $ p $ is a prime number. Byott has enumerated and described all the Hopf-Galois structures admitted by such an extension. We apply the results above to show that $ \OL $ is locally free over $ \AH $ in all of the Hopf-Galois structures, and derive necessary and sufficient conditions for $ \OL $ to be globally free over $ \AH $ in each of the Hopf-Galois structures. In the case $ p = 2 $ we consider the implications of taking $ K = \Q $. In the case that $ p $ is an odd prime we compare the structure of $ \OL $ as a module over $ \AH $ in the various Hopf-Galois structures.

Minimal zero-dimensional extensionsUnknown Date (has links)
The structure of minimal zero-dimensional extension of rings with Noetherian spectrum in which zero is a primary ideal and with at most one prime ideal of height greater than one is determined. These rings include K[[X,T]] where K is a field and Dedenkind domains, but need not be Noetherian nor integrally closed. We show that for such a ring R there is a one-to-one correspondence between isomorphism classes of minimal zero-dimensional extensions of R and sets M, where the elements of M are ideals of R primary for distinct prime ideals of height greater than zero. A subsidiary result is the classification of minimal zero-dimensional extensions of general ZPI-rings. / by Marcela Chiorescu. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2009. / Includes bibliography. / Electronic reproduction.

A study of divisors and algebras on a double cover of the affine planeUnknown Date (has links)
An algebraic surface defined by an equation of the form z2 = (x+a1y) ... (x + any) (x - 1) is studied, from both an algebraic and geometric point of view. It is shown that the surface is rational and contains a singular point which is nonrational. The class group of Weil divisors is computed and the Brauer group of Azumaya algebras is studied. Viewing the surface as a cyclic cover of the affine plane, all of the terms in the cohomology sequence of Chase, Harrison and Roseberg are computed. / by Djordje Bulj. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2012. / Includes bibliography. / Mode of access: World Wide Web. / System requirements: Adobe Reader.

Unique decomposition of direct sums of idealsUnknown Date (has links)
We say that a commutative ring R has the unique decomposition into ideals (UDI) property if, for any R-module which decomposes into a finite direct sum of indecomposable ideals, this decomposition is unique up to the order and isomorphism class of the ideals. In a 2001 paper, Goeters and Olberding characterize the UDI property for Noetherian integral domains. In Chapters 1-3 the UDI property for reduced Noetherian rings is characterized. In Chapter 4 it is shown that overrings of one-dimensional reduced commutative Noetherian rings with the UDI property have the UDI property, also. In Chapter 5 we show that the UDI property implies the Krull-Schmidt property for direct sums of torsion-free rank one modules for a reduced local commutative Noetherian one-dimensional ring R. / by Basak Ay. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2010. / Includes bibliography. / Electronic reproduction.
