Number theory I.a - Algebraic number theory
Summary
Algebraic number theory is the study of the properties of solutions of polynomial equations with integral coefficients; Starting with concrete problems, we then introduce more general notions like algebraic number fields, algebraic integers, units, ideal class groups...
Content
- Basics on rings and modules, lattices in R^n
- Dedekind rings
- The ring of integers of a number field
- Application to Galois theory
- Finiteness of the ideal class group
- Dirichlet's units theorem
- Applications
Keywords
Rings, Fields, integers, ideals, lattices
