Explicit Kummer theory for quadratic fields

E-print/Working paper (n.d.)

Let K be a quadratic number field. If \alpha \in K*, we describe an explicit procedure to compute all Kummer degrees [K(\zeta_m,\sqrt[n]{\alpha}):K(\zeta_m)] for n,m \geq 1, where \zeta_m denotes a ... [more ▼]

Let K be a quadratic number field. If \alpha \in K*, we describe an explicit procedure to compute all Kummer degrees [K(\zeta_m,\sqrt[n]{\alpha}):K(\zeta_m)] for n,m \geq 1, where \zeta_m denotes a primitive m-th root of unity and n divides m. We can also replace \alpha by any finitely generated subgroup of K*. [less ▲]

Kummer theory for number fields via entanglement groups

E-print/Working paper (n.d.)

Let $K$ be a number field, and let $G$ be a finitely generated and torsion-free subgroup of $K^\times$. We are interested in computing the degree of the cyclotomic-Kummer extension $K(\sqrt[n]{G})$ over ... [more ▼]

Let $K$ be a number field, and let $G$ be a finitely generated and torsion-free subgroup of $K^\times$. We are interested in computing the degree of the cyclotomic-Kummer extension $K(\sqrt[n]{G})$ over $K$, where $\sqrt[n]{G}$ consists of all $n$-th roots of the elements of $G$. We develop the theory of entanglements introduced by Lenstra, and apply it to compute the above degrees. [less ▲]
