Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, a better than Thue-Siegel-Roth-Schmidt theorem bounding the approximation of rational functions over valued differential fields was established, based on using an auxiliary polynomial to construct an auxiliary function.

Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors generalize some results of Bloch [3] concerning class field theory for curves over local fields, and develop a theory including the bad reduction case.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, practical computational techniques are described to determine the Galois group of a polynomial over the rationals, and each transitive permutation group of degree 3 to 7 is realized as a Galois groups over rationals.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, a conjecture on l-adic independence of algebraic numbers is presented, which generalizes the classical ones of Leopoldt and Gross, and asserts that the ladic rank of a G submodule of Kx depends only on the character of its Galois representation.

TL;DR: In this paper it was shown that if l ≢= 2 mod 4 and n is the product of 4 distinct primes congruent to 1 mod l, then l2 (l, if l is odd) divides the class number hn+ of the nth cyclotomic field.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: A formula expressing the Drinfeld discriminant as a product of cyclotomic polynomials was proved in this paper, where the authors also proved that the discriminant can be expressed as a function of the cyclotome.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that if f is a path corresponding to a limit point and if T n(f) denotes the subtree of T which branches off from f at height n, roughly speaking, T n (f) converges to a tree T ′(f), which is called the derived tree of T at f at f. When this derived tree is essentially finite for all f associated with a limit points of S, then all elements of S are effectively determined in a small neighbourhood of this limit point.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In particular, if A is an asymptotic basis of order h, and if F⊆A, card(F) = k, and A\F is a finite subset of A, then the exact order of A/F is O(hk+1) as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, Masser and Wustholz showed that the product of log A1, log An in the lower bound is of exactly the same form as in the upper bound for linear forms in logarithms of algebraic numbers.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that if ν is replaced by an arbitrary, integer-valued function f with certain properties assumed about its average order, then the equation n+ f(n) = m + f(m) has infinitely many solutions with n ≠ m.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate some unusual infinite products, of which the following is a typical example: 3 − 1 3 = 1 2 · 6 4 · 8 9 · 12 10 · 14 15 · 16 17 · 20 21 · 22 23 · 27 25.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the arithmetics of crossed products are studied and the definition of a crossed product order is tightened and it is shown that such orders are one-headed, i.e., that the idealizer of radical embedding always leads to the same hereditary order.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, Mobius inversion over the lattice of subgroups can be used to obtain congruences relating the number of elements of S stabilized by each subgroup.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the binomial coefficient was used as the greatest common divisor for the first time, and was modified on 2016-08-08 to 2.1.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that as x approaches ∞, #{n ≤ x: d(n) divides n} = ( x √ log x)( log log x) −1 + 0(1).

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, it was proved that the ladder structure is invariant with order when the order is decreased from its permissible maximum value for the corresponding ladder. But this invariance property does not necessarily persist in reverse, as increasing the order need not produce a valid ladder with rational coefficients.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the Berry-Esseen theorem was used to prove that Ψ(x, y) is a weighted lower approximation to the number defined by the title of this paper, using a reinterpretation of this sum in probability terminology.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the spectrum of nonzero minima of an indefinite quadratic form with real coefficients in n variables with nonzero determinant d is discrete.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the conjugacy problem of the modular group was discussed, and its solution was used to compute the class number of certain real quadratic number fields with respect to a theorem of Olga Taussky.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The explicit lower bound due to Furtwangler of Cn, the n-dimensional Diophantine approximation constant is C n ≥ 1 Δ n+1 1 2, where Δn+1 is the minimum absolute discriminant of a real number field of degree n + 1, where [x] is the integer part of the real number x as mentioned in this paper.
