Third Cyclotomic Field #
We gather various results about the third cyclotomic field. The following notations are used in this
file: K is a number field such that IsCyclotomicExtension {3} ℚ K, ζ is any primitive 3-rd
root of unity in K, η is the element in the units of the ring of integers corresponding to ζ
and λ = η - 1.
Main results #
IsCyclotomicExtension.Rat.Three.Units.mem: Given a unitu : (𝓞 K)ˣ, we have thatu ∈ {1, -1, η, -η, η^2, -η^2}.IsCyclotomicExtension.Rat.Three.eq_one_or_neg_one_of_unit_of_congruent: Given a unitu : (𝓞 K)ˣ, ifuis congruent to an integer modulo3, thenu = 1oru = -1.
This is a special case of the so-called Kummer's lemma (see for example [washington_cyclotomic], Theorem 5.36
Let u be a unit in (𝓞 K)ˣ, then u ∈ [1, -1, η, -η, η^2, -η^2].
If a unit u is congruent to an integer modulo λ ^ 2, then u = 1 or u = -1.
This is a special case of the so-called Kummer's lemma.
Let (x : 𝓞 K). Then we have that λ divides one amongst x, x - 1 and x + 1.
We have that λ divides x * (x - 1) * (x - (η + 1)).
If λ divides x - 1, then λ ^ 4 divides x ^ 3 - 1.
If λ divides x + 1, then λ ^ 4 divides x ^ 3 + 1.
If λ does not divide x, then λ ^ 4 divides x ^ 3 - 1 or x ^ 3 + 1.
