We give sufficient conditions to determine the existence of nontrivial solutions to the Fermat equation $x^3+y^3=kz^3$ over $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d})$ by constructing a relationship with the points on the elliptic curve $y^2=x^3-432d^3k^2$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ for certain $k\in\mathbb{N}$.
In this paper we deal with a finite abelian group $G$ and the abstract Fourier transform ${\mathcal F}:{\mathbb C}^G\to {\mathbb C}^\hat{G}$. Then, we consider $\tilde{j}\circ {\mathcal F}:{\mathbb C}^G\to {\mathbb C}^\hat{G}$ where $\tilde j:{\mathbb C}^\hat{G}\to {\mathbb C}^G$ is defined by the composition with a bijection $j:G\to \hat{G}$. ($\tilde j$ is a pullback of $j$.) In particular, we show that $(\tilde{j}\circ {\mathcal F})^2$ is a permutation if and only if $j$ is a group isomorphism. Then, we study how the spectra of $\tilde{j}\circ{\mathcal F}$ depends on the isomorphism $j$.
In this short note, we give a proof of the Riemann hypothesis for Goss $v$-adic zeta function $ζ_{v}(s)$, when $v$ is a prime of $\mathbb{F}_{q}[t]$ of degree one.
Orders of vanishing of zeros of zeta functions have much arithmetic information encoded in them. For the absolute zeta function, Dinesh Thakur gave sufficient conditions for the order of vanishing of its zeros when the finite field has two elements. Such conditions consider only principal ideals. This result was generalized by Thakur and Diaz-Vargas. Now the conditions involve not only the principal ideals but all the classes of ideals, still in the field of two elements. In this work, we generalize these results to arbitrary finite fields, using similar proofs of Thakur and Diaz-Vargas.
It has been shown by Madden that there are only finitely many quadratic extensions of k(x), k a finite field, in which the ideal class group has exponent two and the infinity place of k(x) ramifies. We give a characterization of such fields that allow us to find a full list of all such field extensions for future reference. In doing so we correct some errors in earlier published literature.
