Units of a number field

We prove some basic results on the group (𝓞 K)ˣ of units of the ring of integers 𝓞 K of a number field K and its torsion subgroup.

Main definition

• NumberField.Units.torsion: the torsion subgroup of a number field.

Main results

• NumberField.isUnit_iff_norm: an algebraic integer x : 𝓞 K is a unit if and only if |norm ℚ x| = 1.

• NumberField.Units.mem_torsion: a unit x : (𝓞 K)ˣ is torsion iff w x = 1 for all infinite places w of K.
