    Construction of class fields over cyclotomic fields

    Let ℓ\ell and pp be odd primes. For a positive integer μ\mu let kμk_\mu be the ray class field of k=Q(e2πi/ℓ)k=\mathbb{Q}(e^{2\pi i/\ell}) modulo 2pμ2p^\mu. We present certain class fields KμK_\mu of kk such that kμ≤Kμ≤kμ+1k_\mu\leq K_\mu\leq k_{\mu+1}, and find the degree of Kμ/kμK_\mu/k_\mu explicitly. And we also construct, in the sense of Hilbert, primitive generators of the field KμK_\mu over kμk_\mu by using Shimura's reciprocity law and special values of theta constants

    We first normalize the derivative Weierstrass ℘′\wp'-function appearing in Weierstrass equations which give rise to analytic parametrizations of elliptic curves by the Dedekind η\eta-function. And, by making use of this normalization of ℘′\wp' we associate certain elliptic curve to a given imaginary quadratic field KK and then generate an infinite family of ray class fields over KK by adjoining to KK torsion points of such elliptic curve. We further construct some ray class invariants of imaginary quadratic fields by utilizing singular values of the normalization of ℘′\wp', as the yy-coordinate in the Weierstrass equation of this elliptic curve, which would be a partial result for the Lang-Schertz conjecture of constructing ray class fields over KK by means of the Siegel-Ramachandra invariant

    Gauss' form class groups and Shimura's canonical models

    Full text link
    Let NN be a positive integer and Γ\Gamma be a subgroup of SL2(Z)\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z}) containing Γ1(N)\Gamma_1(N). Let KK be an imaginary quadratic field and O\mathcal{O} be an order of discriminant DOD_\mathcal{O} in KK. Under some assumptions, we show that Γ\Gamma induces a form class group of discriminant DOD_\mathcal{O} (or, of order O\mathcal{O}) and level NN if and only if there is a certain canonical model of the modular curve for Γ\Gamma defined over a suitably small number field. In this way we can find an interesting link between two different subjects.Comment: 18 page
