Third Cyclotomic Field #
We gather various results about the third cyclotomic field. The following notations are used in this
file: K
is a number field such that IsCyclotomicExtension {3} ℚ K
, ζ
is any primitive 3
-rd
root of unity in K
, η
is the element in the units of the ring of integers corresponding to ζ
and λ = η - 1
.

, we have thatu ∈ {1, -1, η, -η, η^2, -η^2}

: Given a unitu : (𝓞 K)ˣ
, ifu
is congruent to an integer modulo3
, thenu = 1
oru = -1
.
This is a special case of the so-called Kummer's lemma (see for example [Was97], Theorem 5.36
Let u
be a unit in (𝓞 K)ˣ
, then u ∈ [1, -1, η, -η, η^2, -η^2]
.
We have that η ^ 2 = -η - 1
.
If a unit u
is congruent to an integer modulo λ ^ 2
, then u = 1
or u = -1
.
This is a special case of the so-called Kummer's lemma.
Let (x : 𝓞 K)
. Then we have that λ
divides one amongst x
, x - 1
and x + 1
.
We have that η ^ 2 + η + 1 = 0
.
We have that x ^ 3 - 1 = (x - 1) * (x - η) * (x - η ^ 2)
.
We have that λ
divides x * (x - 1) * (x - (η + 1))
.
If λ
divides x - 1
, then λ ^ 4
divides x ^ 3 - 1
.
If λ
divides x + 1
, then λ ^ 4
divides x ^ 3 + 1
.
If λ
does not divide x
, then λ ^ 4
divides x ^ 3 - 1
or x ^ 3 + 1
.
