Class invariants for quartic CM fields
One can define class invariants for a quartic primitive CM field K as special
values of certain Siegel (or Hilbert) modular functions at CM points
corresponding to K. We provide explicit bounds on the primes appearing in the
denominators of these algebraic numbers. This allows us, in particular, to
construct S-units in certain abelian extensions of K, where S is effectively
determined by K. It also yields class polynomials for primitive quartic CM
fields whose coefficients are S-integers.Comment: 14 page

In a more polarized era more and more citizens are structuringtheir beliefs along ideological lines, just as politicians do
While politics in the US has long been split along the left-right, liberal-conservative spectrum, most academics have assumed that these divisions had historically not percolated through to how most Americans see themselves. In new research which draws on election data, Caitlin E. Jewitt and Paul N. Goren find that people are now more able to structure their beliefs along the left-right dimension than they were in 1980. As debates between political elites have become more polarized, many more Americans who are ideologically engaged are now thinking about issues and organizing their policy positions just as politicians do

A Gross-Zagier formula for quaternion algebras over totally real fields
We prove a higher dimensional generalization of Gross and Zagier's theorem on
the factorization of differences of singular moduli. Their result is proved by
giving a counting formula for the number of isomorphisms between elliptic
curves with complex multiplication by two different imaginary quadratic fields
and , when the curves are reduced modulo a supersingular prime
and its powers. Equivalently, the Gross-Zagier formula counts optimal
embeddings of the ring of integers of an imaginary quadratic field into
particular maximal orders in , the definite quaternion algebra
over \QQ ramified only at and infinity. Our work gives an analogous
counting formula for the number of simultaneous embeddings of the rings of
integers of primitive CM fields into superspecial orders in definite quaternion
algebras over totally real fields of strict class number 1. Our results can
also be viewed as a counting formula for the number of isomorphisms modulo
between abelian varieties with CM by different fields. Our
counting formula can also be used to determine which superspecial primes appear
in the factorizations of differences of values of Siegel modular functions at
CM points associated to two different CM fields, and to give a bound on those
supersingular primes which can appear. In the special case of Jacobians of
genus 2 curves, this provides information about the factorizations of
numerators of Igusa invariants, and so is also relevant to the problem of
constructing genus 2 curves for use in cryptography.Comment: 32 page
