The totally real number fields play a significant special role in algebraic number theory. An abelian extension of Q is either totally real, or contains a totally real subfield over which it has degree two. Any number field that is Galois over the rationals must be either totally real or totally imaginary. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Totally_real_number_field |
In number theory, a perfect digit-to-digit invariant (PDDI; also known as a Munchausen number) is a natural number in a given number base b {\displaystyle b} that is equal to the sum of its digits each raised to the power of itself.

For instance, 28 is perfect as 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14 = 28. This definition is ancient, appearing as early as Euclid's Elements (VII.22) where it is called τέλειος ἀριθμός (perfect, ideal, or complete number). Euclid also proved a formation rule (IX.36) whereby q ( q + 1 ) / 2 {\displaystyle q(q+1)/2} is an even perfect nu... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odd_perfect_number |
Two millennia later, Leonhard Euler proved that all even perfect numbers are of this form. This is known as the Euclid–Euler theorem.

One attempt by Germain to prove Fermat’s Last Theorem was to let p be a prime number of the form 8k + 7 and to let n = p – 1. In this case, x n + y n = z n {\displaystyle x^{n}+y^{n}=z^{n}} is unsolvable. Germain’s proof, however, remained unfinished. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_and_Sophie_Germain_primes |
Through her attempts to solve Fermat's Last Theorem, Germain developed a result now known as Germain's Theorem which states that if p is an odd prime and 2p + 1 is also prime, then p must divide x, y, or z. Otherwise, x n + y n ≠ z n {\textstyle x^{n}+y^{n}\neq z^{n}} . This case where p does not divide x, y, or z is c... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_and_Sophie_Germain_primes |

Database theory has a concept called functional dependency, written X → Y {\displaystyle X\to Y} . | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triviality_(mathematics) |
The dependence X → Y {\displaystyle X\to Y} is true if Y is a subset of X, so this type of dependence is called "trivial". All other dependences, which are less obvious, are called "nontrivial". It can be shown that Riemann's zeta function has zeros at the negative even numbers −2, −4, … Though the proof is comparative... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triviality_(mathematics) |
In number theory, many arithmetic functions are integer-valued. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer-valued_function |
In number theory, more specifically in local class field theory, the ramification groups are a filtration of the Galois group of a local field extension, which gives detailed information on the ramification phenomena of the extension. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lower_numbering |
In number theory, more specifically in p-adic analysis, Krasner's lemma is a basic result relating the topology of a complete non-archimedean field to its algebraic extensions. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krasner's_lemma |
In number theory, natural density (also referred to as asymptotic density or arithmetic density) is one method to measure how "large" a subset of the set of natural numbers is. It relies chiefly on the probability of encountering members of the desired subset when combing through the interval as n grows large. Intuiti... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lower_asymptotic_density |
However, the set of positive integers is not in fact larger than the set of perfect squares: both sets are infinite and countable and can therefore be put in one-to-one correspondence. Nevertheless if one goes through the natural numbers, the squares become increasingly scarce. The notion of natural density makes this ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lower_asymptotic_density |
In number theory, octic reciprocity is a reciprocity law relating the residues of 8th powers modulo primes, analogous to the law of quadratic reciprocity, cubic reciprocity, and quartic reciprocity. There is a rational reciprocity law for 8th powers, due to Williams. Define the symbol ( x p ) k {\displaystyle \left({\f... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octic_reciprocity |
{\displaystyle \left({\frac {p}{q}}\right)_{4}=\left({\frac {q}{p}}\right)_{4}=+1.} Let p = a2 + b2 = c2 + 2d2 and q = A2 + B2 = C2 + 2D2, with aA odd. Then ( p q ) 8 ( q p ) 8 = ( a B − b A q ) 4 ( c D − d C q ) 2 . {\displaystyle \left({\frac {p}{q}}\right)_{8}\left({\frac {q}{p}}\right)_{8}=\left({\frac {aB-bA}{q}}\... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octic_reciprocity |
In number theory, primes in arithmetic progression are any sequence of at least three prime numbers that are consecutive terms in an arithmetic progression. An example is the sequence of primes (3, 7, 11), which is given by a n = 3 + 4 n {\displaystyle a_{n}=3+4n} for 0 ≤ n ≤ 2 {\displaystyle 0\leq n\leq 2} . According... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primes_in_arithmetic_progression |
For example, it can be used about primes in an arithmetic progression of the form a n + b {\displaystyle an+b} , where a and b are coprime which according to Dirichlet's theorem on arithmetic progressions contains infinitely many primes, along with infinitely many composites. For integer k ≥ 3, an AP-k (also called PAP... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primes_in_arithmetic_progression |
In number theory, quadratic Gauss sums are certain finite sums of roots of unity. A quadratic Gauss sum can be interpreted as a linear combination of the values of the complex exponential function with coefficients given by a quadratic character; for a general character, one obtains a more general Gauss sum. These obje... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_Gauss_sum |
In number theory, quadratic integers are a generalization of the usual integers to quadratic fields. Quadratic integers are algebraic integers of degree two, that is, solutions of equations of the form x2 + bx + c = 0with b and c (usual) integers. When algebraic integers are considered, the usual integers are often cal... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_integers |
Another common example is the non-real cubic root of unity −1 + √−3/2, which generates the Eisenstein integers. Quadratic integers occur in the solutions of many Diophantine equations, such as Pell's equations, and other questions related to integral quadratic forms. The study of rings of quadratic integers is basic fo... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_integers |
In number theory, reversing the digits of a number n sometimes produces another number m that is divisible by n. This happens trivially when n is a palindromic number; the nontrivial reverse divisors are 1089, 2178, 10989, 21978, 109989, 219978, 1099989, 2199978, ... (sequence A008919 in the OEIS).For instance, 1089 × ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_divisible_number |
In number theory, sexy primes are prime numbers that differ from each other by 6. For example, the numbers 5 and 11 are both sexy primes, because both are prime and 11 − 5 = 6. The term "sexy prime" is a pun stemming from the Latin word for six: sex. If p + 2 or p + 4 (where p is the lower prime) is also prime, then th... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexy_prime |
In number theory, specifically in Diophantine approximation theory, the Markov constant M ( α ) {\displaystyle M(\alpha )} of an irrational number α {\displaystyle \alpha } is the factor for which Dirichlet's approximation theorem can be improved for α {\displaystyle \alpha } . | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markov_constant |
