Arithmetic fake projective spaces and arithmetic fake grassmannians
We show that if n>5, PU(n-1,1) does not contain a cocompact arithmetic
subgroup with the same Euler-Poincare characteristic (in the sense of C.T.C.
Wall) as the complex projective space of dimension n-1, and show that if n=5,
there are at least four such subgroups, which are in fact torsion-free. This,
in particular, leads to examples of a fake projective space of dimension 4.
Analogous results for arithmetic fake grassmannians Gr(m,n) with n>3 odd are
also obtained.Comment: 20 pages, the exposition has been improve
A CM construction for curves of genus 2 with p-rank 1
We construct Weil numbers corresponding to genus-2 curves with -rank 1
over the finite field \F_{p^2} of elements. The corresponding curves
can be constructed using explicit CM constructions. In one of our algorithms,
the group of \F_{p^2}-valued points of the Jacobian has prime order, while
another allows for a prescribed embedding degree with respect to a subgroup of
prescribed order. The curves are defined over \F_{p^2} out of necessity: we
show that curves of -rank 1 over \F_p for large cannot be efficiently
constructed using explicit CM constructions.Comment: 19 page
On rings of integers generated by their units
We give an affirmative answer to the following question by Jarden and
Narkiewicz: Is it true that every number field has a finite extension L such
that the ring of integers of L is generated by its units (as a ring)? As a part
of the proof, we generalize a theorem by Hinz on power-free values of
polynomials in number fields.Comment: 15 page
Ideal class groups of cyclotomic number fields II
We first study some families of maximal real subfields of cyclotomic fields
with even class number, and then explore the implications of large plus class
numbers of cyclotomic fields. We also discuss capitulation of the minus part
and the behaviour of p-class groups in cyclic ramified p-extensions
