Bateman-Horn, continued even further

See the following two papers of Nobushige Kurokawa, both appearing in Proc. Japan Acad. Ser. A: "On Some Euler Products II" (volume 60, 1984, 365-368, esp. Proposition 1) "Special Values of Euler Pr …

Class number of non-maximal order in imaginary quadratic function field?

There is a formula that works in all degrees, not just imaginary quadratic. In a global field $K$, let $O$ be integral over ${\mathbf Z}$ or ${\mathbf F}[t]$ (${\mathbf F}$ a finite field) and be "bi …

Reference needed for Lucas' Theorem for multinomial coefficients modulo a prime

You can prove this by induction on the maximum number of base $p$ digits, and to make the argument simpler it's better to formulate a mildly stronger theorem where the leading base $p$ "digit" is allo …

The norm of a non-Galois extension of local fields

Hi Erick. Yes, this is true. Maybe it's in Iwasawa's Local Class Field Theory? For the global analogue, see the last exercise in Cassels & Frohlich.

Independence over Q and Kroneckers result

This is on wikipedia. See Kronecker's theorem. It was proved by Kronecker in 1884. The necessary and sufficient condition for integral multiples of a point $(r_1,\dots,r_n)$ in the $n$-torus $(\mat …

D K Faddeev's construction of quaternionic fields

I don't have the paper you refer to, but on the page http://www.math.spbu.ru/vestnik/2008/vestnik0801/dfaddeev.pdf, which is dedicated to the 100th birthday of Faddeev, his early work is described in …

A question about non-archimedean binomial expansion

What do you mean in the comment to your post that you “get confirmation of $s=1$ from other people”? In any case, it is “simple" to show $s=1$ if you are familiar enough with binomial expansions in $p …

Techniques for computing fundamental units in cubic extensions

Use Artin's inequality: if $K$ is a cubic field with one real embedding and $v > 1$ is a unit in $O_K$ then $|\text{disc}(K)| < 4v^3 + 24$. (I use inequalities on elements of $K$ via the one real embe …

Quotients of a ring of integers

The answer to your main question is no. Let $I = (p)$ where $p$ splits completely in $L$ and $r := [L:\mathbf Q] > p$. (Example: cubic field in which $p = 2$ splits completely.) Then $\mathcal O_L/(p) …

Cases where the number field case and the function field (with positive characteristic) are ...

I answered this question once already, but another example where $\mathbf Z$ and $k[x]$ behave differently when $k$ is a finite field was brought to my attention recently by Jeff Lagarias and it deser …

Primes P such that ((P-1)/2)!=1 mod P

There is some history to this question. Dirichlet observed (see p. 275 of ``History of the Theory of Numbers,'' Vol. 1) that since we already know $(\frac{p-1}{2})! \equiv \pm 1 \bmod p$, computing …

Connection between Möbius and 𝜔 function

Yes, that deduction is possible, but somewhat indirectly. The estimate $\sum_{n \leq x} \mu(n) = o(x)$ is equivalent to the nonvanishing of $\zeta(s)$ on ${\rm Re}(s) = 1$ since both conditions are kn …

Squares in a triquadratic field

Set $K = \mathbf Q(\sqrt{-3},\sqrt{5},\sqrt{-7})$ and $\alpha = 1170\sqrt{-3}\sqrt{5}\sqrt{-7}-19110$. I think the "best" way to show $\alpha$ is not a square in $K$ is not to show something else is n …

Field complete with respect to inequivalent absolute values

For each prime $p$, the field $\mathbf C_p$ is isomorphic to the field $\mathbf C$ as abstract fields (i.e., they are isomorphic purely algebraically, ignoring absolute values on them) since all algeb …

Is there a ring of integers except for Z, such that every extension of it is ramified?

Yes, there are examples and Minkowski's proof for ${\mathbf Q}$ can be adapted to find a few of them. Some examples of this kind among quadratic fields $F$, listed in increasing size of discriminant …
