Proposition 12.2.3. For any ideal \( A, D/A \) is finite.

Corollary 1. D is a Noetherian ring, i.e., every ascending chain of ideals \( {A}_{1} \subset {A}_{2} \subset {A}_{3} \subset \cdots \) terminates. In other words, there is an \( N > 0 \) such that \( {A}_{m} = {A}_{m + 1} \) for all \( m \geq N \) .

No
Corollary 2. Every prime ideal of \( D \) is maximal.
Proof. If \( P \) is a prime ideal then \( D/P \) is a finite integral domain. Such a ring is necessarily a field (see Exercise 19). Thus \( D/P \) is a field and so \( P \) is maximal.

Lemma 3. Let \( A \subset D \) be an ideal. If \( \beta \in F \) is such that \( {\beta A} \subset A \) then \( \beta \in D \) .

Proof. If \( \beta \in B \) we see \( \left( {\beta /\omega }\right) A \subset A \) so by Lemma \( 3,\beta /\omega \in D \) . It follows that \( B \subset \left( \omega \right) \) and so \( {\omega }^{-1}B \subset D \) is an ideal. Since \( A = {\omega }^{-1}{BA} \), Lemma 4 shows \( {\omega }^{-1}B = D \) and so \( B ...

Proposition 12.2.7. If \( A \) and \( B \) are ideals, such that \( B \supset A \), then there is an ideal \( C \) such that \( A = {BC} \) .
Proof. As above there is a \( k > 0 \) such that \( {B}^{k} = \left( \beta \right) \). Now, since \( A \subset B \) we have \( {B}^{k - 1}A \subset {B}^{k} = \left( \beta \right) \) so \( C = \left( {1/\beta }\right) {B}^{k - 1}A \subset D \) is an ideal.

Proposition 14.1.2. Suppose \( K/\mathbb{Q} \) is a Galois extension with group \( G \) . Then\n\n\[ \mathop{\prod }\limits_{{\sigma \in G}}\sigma \left( A\right) = \left( {N\left( A\right) }\right) \]
Proof. Since both sides are multiplicative in \( A \) it suffices to prove the result when \( A \) is a prime ideal \( P \) .\n\nLet \( {P}_{1},{P}_{2},\ldots ,{P}_{g} \) be the distinct prime ideals in the set \( \{ \sigma \left( P\right) \mid \sigma \in G\} \) .

Proposition 14.1.3. Let \( K/\mathbb{Q} \) be Galois with group \( G \) . Let \( \alpha \in D \) and let \( A = \left( \alpha \right) \) be the principal ideal generated by \( \alpha \) . Let \( {N\alpha } \) be the norm of \( \alpha \) . Then \( N\left( A\right) = \) \( \left| {N\left( \alpha \right) }\right| \).
Proof. \( \left( {N\left( A\right) }\right) = \prod \sigma \left( A\right) = \prod \sigma \left( \left( \alpha \right) \right) = \prod \left( {\sigma \alpha }\right) = \left( {\prod \sigma \left( \alpha \right) }\right) = \left( {N\left( \alpha \right) }\right) \) . Thus \( N\left( A\right) \) and \( N\left( \alpha \ri...

Proposition 14.2.1. Let \( \alpha \in {D}_{m},\alpha \notin P \) . There is an integer \( i \), unique modulo \( m \) , such that\n\n\[ \n{\alpha }^{\left( {q - 1}\right) /m} \equiv {\zeta }_{m}^{i}\left( P\right) \n\]
Proof. Since the multiplicative group of \( {D}_{m}/P \) has \( q - 1 \) elements we have \( {\alpha }^{q - 1} \equiv 1\left( P\right) \) . Thus\n\n\[ \n\mathop{\prod }\limits_{{i = 0}}^{{m - 1}}\left( {{\alpha }^{\left( {q - 1}\right) /m} - {\zeta }_{m}^{i}}\right) \equiv 0\left( P\right) . \n\]\n\nSince \( P \) is a ...

(a) \( {\left( \alpha /P\right) }_{m} = 1 \) iff \( {x}^{m} \equiv \alpha \left( P\right) \) is solvable in \( {D}_{m} \) .

Proposition 14.2.3. Suppose \( A \) and \( B \) are ideals prime to \( \left( m\right) \) . Then\n\n(a) \( {\left( \alpha \beta /A\right) }_{m} = {\left( \alpha /A\right) }_{m}{\left( \beta /A\right) }_{m} \).\n\n(b) \( {\left( \alpha /AB\right) }_{m} = {\left( \alpha /A\right) }_{m}{\left( \alpha /B\right) }_{m} \).\n...

Proposition 14.2.4. Let \( A \) be an ideal prime to \( m \) and \( \sigma \in G \) . Then\n\n\[{\left( \frac{\alpha }{A}\right) }_{m}^{\sigma } = {\left( \frac{{\alpha }^{\sigma }}{{A}^{\sigma }}\right) }_{m}\]
Proof. Since both sides of the asserted equality are multiplicative in \( A \) it will be enough to check the case where \( A = P \) is a prime ideal. By definition\n\n\[{\alpha }^{\left( {{NP} - 1}\right) /m} \equiv {\left( \frac{\alpha }{P}\right) }_{m}\left( P\right)\]\n\nApplying \( \sigma \) to this congruence we ...

Theorem 1 (The Eisenstein Reciprocity Law). Let \( l \) be an odd prime, \( a \in \mathbb{Z} \) prime to \( l \), and \( \alpha \in {D}_{l} \) a primary element. Suppose moreover that \( \alpha \) and a are prime to each other. Then\n\n\[{\left( \frac{\alpha }{a}\right) }_{l} = {\left( \frac{a}{\alpha }\right) }_{l}\]
The proof of this elegant theorem will be given in Section 5. It is a consequence of the Stickelberger relation which will be stated in the next section and proven in Section 4. Since this process is long, and somewhat involved, the reader may wish to skip to the last part of the chapter, Section 6, where three interes...

(c) \( \Phi \left( P\right) \in \mathbb{Q}\left( {\zeta }_{m}\right) \) .
Proof. (a) has already been discussed. (b) follows in the same way as when \( F \) is the prime field. (c) follows from Proposition 8.3.3 which is stated over \( \mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z} \) but generalizes easily to \( F \) . We will give another proof of (c) based on Galois theory. Consider the diagram of fields The Gal...

Lemma 1. Let \( p > 1 \) be a positive integer. Every positive integer can be written uniquely in the form \( \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{i = 0}}^{n}{a}_{i}{p}^{i} \) where \( 0 \leq {a}_{i} < p \) .
Proof. Let \( a \) be a positive integer. There is a unique nonnegative integer \( n \) such that \( {p}^{n} \leq a < {p}^{n + 1} \) . By the division algorithm we have \( a = {a}_{n}{p}^{n} + r \) where \( 0 \leq r < {p}^{n} \) . The number \( {a}_{n} \) is less than \( p \) since otherwise \( a \geq {p}^{n + 1} \) . ...

Lemma 2. \( S\left( a\right) = \left( {p - 1}\right) \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{i = 0}}^{{f - 1}}\left\langle {{p}^{i}a/\left( {q - 1}\right) }\right\rangle \) .
Proof. Both sides are unchanged if a multiple of \( q - 1 \) is added to \( a \) . Thus we may assume \( 1 \leq a < q - 1 \) .\n\nWrite \( a = {a}_{0} + {a}_{1}p + \cdots + {a}_{f - 1}{p}^{f - 1} \) where \( 0 \leq {a}_{i} < p \) . Since \( {p}^{f} = \) \( q \equiv 1\left( {q - 1}\right) \) we have\n\n\[ a = {a}_{0} + ...

Lemma 3. \( \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{a = 1}}^{{q - 2}}S\left( a\right) = \left( {f\left( {p - 1}\right) \left( {q - 2}\right) }\right) /2 \) .
Proof. Write \( a = {a}_{0} + {a}_{1}p + \cdots + {a}_{f - 1}{p}^{f - 1} \) with \( 0 \leq {a}_{i} < p \) . Notice that \( q - 1 = \left( {p - 1}\right) + \left( {p - 1}\right) p + \cdots + \left( {p - 1}\right) {p}^{f - 1} \) . It follows that \( q - 1 - a = \left( {p - 1 - {a}_{0}}\right) + \left( {p - 1 - {a}_{1}}\r...

Lemma 5. \( {D}_{m}/P \approx {D}_{q - 1}/\mathfrak{P} \) .
Proof. There is a natural monomorphism from \( {D}_{m}/P \) to \( {D}_{q - 1}/\mathfrak{P} \) . To show this is an isomorphism it suffices to show both fields have the same number of elements. By Theorem 2 of Chapter 13 we have \( \left| {{D}_{q - 1}/\mathfrak{P}}\right| = {p}^{{f}^{\prime }} \) where \( {f}^{\prime } ...

Theorem 3. \( {\operatorname{ord}}_{\mathcal{P}}\left( {g}_{a}\right) = S\left( a\right) \), where \( 1 \leq a < q \) .
Proof. To begin with we show that \( {\operatorname{ord}}_{\mathcal{P}}\left( {g}_{1}\right) = 1 \) . Recall\n\n\[ \n{g}_{1} = \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{t \in \mathbb{F}}}\omega {\left( t\right) }^{-1}{\zeta }_{p}^{\operatorname{tr}\left( t\right) }\n\]\n\nUsing Lemma 7 we will convert this into a sum over the powers of ...

Lemma 8. \( {\operatorname{ord}}_{{P}_{t}}\left( {\Phi \left( P\right) }\right) = \left( {m/\left( {p - 1}\right) }\right) S\left( {t\left( {\left( {q - 1}\right) /m}\right) }\right) \) .
Proof. It follows quickly from the definitions that\n\n\[ \n{\operatorname{ord}}_{{P}_{t}}\left( {\Phi \left( P\right) }\right) = {\operatorname{ord}}_{P}\left( {\Phi {\left( P\right) }^{{\sigma }_{t}}}\right) \n\] \n\nChoose an integer \( {t}^{\prime } \) such that \( {t}^{\prime } \equiv t\left( m\right) \) and \( {t...

Lemma 1. The only roots of unity in \( \mathbb{Q}\left( {\zeta }_{m}\right) \) are \( \pm {\zeta }_{m}^{i}i = 1,2,\ldots, m \) .
Proof. In the proof of Theorem 1 we only need this result when \( m \) is an odd prime. We will leave the proof for general \( m \) as an exercise and assume \( m = l \), an odd prime.\n\nSuppose \( {\zeta }_{n} \in \mathbb{Q}\left( {\zeta }_{l}\right) \) .

Lemma 2. Let \( K/\mathbb{Q} \) be an algebraic number field and let \( {\sigma }_{1},{\sigma }_{2},\ldots ,{\sigma }_{n} \) be the \( n = \left\lbrack {K : \mathbb{Q}}\right\rbrack \) isomorphisms of \( K \) into \( \mathbb{C} \) . If \( \alpha \in K \) is such that \( \left| {\alpha }^{{\sigma }_{i}}\right| \leq 1 \)...
Proof. \( \alpha \) is a root of\n\n\[ f\left( x\right) = \mathop{\prod }\limits_{{i = 1}}^{n}\left( {x - {\alpha }^{{\sigma }_{i}}}\right) \in \mathbb{Z}\left\lbrack x\right\rbrack .\n\]\n\nThe hypothesis of the lemma implies that the coefficient of \( {x}^{m} \) in \( f\left( x\right) \) is an integer bounded by the ...

Lemma 3. Suppose \( A \subset {D}_{m} \) is an ideal prime to \( m \) and let \( \sigma \) be an automorphism of \( \mathbb{Q}\left( {\zeta }_{m}\right) /\mathbb{Q} \) . Then\n\n\[ \Phi {\left( A\right) }^{\sigma } = \Phi \left( {A}^{\sigma }\right) \]
Proof. To see this it is convenient to write \( g\left( P\right) \) in the following form\n\n\[ g\left( P\right) = \sum {\left( \frac{\alpha }{P}\right) }_{m}^{-1}{\zeta }_{p}^{\operatorname{tr}\left( \widetilde{\alpha }\right) } \]\n\nwhere the sum is over a set of representatives for the cosets of \( {D}_{m}/P \) .\n...

Lemma 4. For \( \alpha \in {D}_{m},{\left| {\alpha }^{\gamma }\right| }^{2} = {\left| N\alpha \right| }^{m} \).
Proof. The automorphism \( {\sigma }_{-1} \) is complex conjugation on \( \mathbb{Q}\left( {\zeta }_{m}\right) \) since it takes \( {\zeta }_{m} \) to \( {\zeta }_{m}^{-1} = {\zeta }_{m} \). Thus\n\n\[ \n{\left| {\alpha }^{\gamma }\right| }^{2} = {\alpha }^{\gamma }{\alpha }^{{\gamma \sigma } - 1} = {\alpha }^{\gamma \...

Proposition 14.5.2. Let \( \alpha \in {D}_{m},\alpha \) prime to \( m \) . Then \( \Phi \left( \alpha \right) = \varepsilon \left( \alpha \right) {\alpha }^{\gamma } \) where \( \varepsilon \left( \alpha \right) = \pm {\zeta }_{m}^{i} \) for some \( i \) .
Proof. In the light of part (d) of the last proposition it is enough to prove the assertion about \( \varepsilon \left( \alpha \right) \) . We have \( {\left| \Phi \left( \alpha \right) \right| }^{2} = {\left( N\left( \alpha \right) \right) }^{m} \) by Proposition 14.5.1 and \( {\left| {\alpha }^{\gamma }\right| }^{2} ...

Proposition 14.5.3. Suppose \( P,{P}^{\prime } \subset {D}_{m} \) are prime ideals both prime to \( m \) . Suppose further that \( {NP} \) and \( N{P}^{\prime } \) are relatively prime. Then\n\n\[{\left( \frac{\Phi \left( P\right) }{{P}^{\prime }}\right) }_{m} = {\left( \frac{N{P}^{\prime }}{P}\right) }_{m}.\]
Proof. Let \( {q}^{\prime } = {p}^{\prime {f}^{\prime }} = N{P}^{\prime } \) . Recall \( {q}^{\prime } \equiv 1\left( m\right) \) . The following congruences are taken modulo \( {p}^{\prime } \) in \( {D}_{m} \)\n\n\[g{\left( P\right) }^{{q}^{\prime }} \equiv \sum {\chi }_{P}{\left( t\right) }^{{q}^{\prime }}\psi {\lef...

Corollary 2. Suppose \( A \) and \( B \) are as in Corollary 1 and moreover that \( A = \left( \alpha \right) \) is principal. Then \[ {\left( \frac{\varepsilon \left( \alpha \right) }{B}\right) }_{m}{\left( \frac{\alpha }{NB}\right) }_{m} = {\left( \frac{NB}{\alpha }\right) }_{m}. \]
