valuation of number field
1Algebraic number field — In mathematics, an algebraic number field (or simply number field) F is a finite (and hence algebraic) field extension of the field of rational numbers Q. Thus F is a field that contains Q and has finite dimension when considered as a vector… …
2Valuation ring — In abstract algebra, a valuation ring is an integral domain D such that for every element x of its field of fractions F , at least one of x or x 1 belongs to D .Given a field F , if D is a subring of F such that either x or x 1 belongs to D for… …
3Number theory — A Lehmer sieve an analog computer once used for finding primes and solving simple diophantine equations. Number theory is a branch of pure mathematics devoted primarily to the study of the integers. Number theorists study prime numbers (the… …
4Valuation (algebra) — In algebra (in particular in algebraic geometry or algebraic number theory), a valuation is a function on a field that provides a measure of size or multiplicity of elements of the field. They generalize to commutative algebra the notion of size… …
5Field (mathematics) — This article is about fields in algebra. For fields in geometry, see Vector field. For other uses, see Field (disambiguation). In abstract algebra, a field is a commutative ring whose nonzero elements form a group under multiplication. As such it …
6Prime number — Prime redirects here. For other uses, see Prime (disambiguation). A prime number (or a prime) is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. A natural number greater than 1 that is not a prime number is… …
7p-adic number — In mathematics, and chiefly number theory, the p adic number system for any prime number p extends the ordinary arithmetic of the rational numbers in a way different from the extension of the rational number system to the real and complex number… …
8P-adic number — In mathematics, the p adic number systems were first described by Kurt Hensel in 1897 [cite journal | last = Hensel | first = Kurt | title = Über eine neue Begründung der Theorie der algebraischen Zahlen | journal =… …
9Modulus (algebraic number theory) — In mathematics, in the field of algebraic number theory, a modulus (plural moduli) (or cycle,[1] or extended ideal[2]) is a formal product of places of a global field (i.e. an algebraic number field or a global function field). It is used to… …
10Algebraic number theory — In mathematics, algebraic number theory is a major branch of number theory which studies the algebraic structures related to algebraic integers. This is generally accomplished by considering a ring of algebraic integers O in an algebraic number… …
