8 Zagier s Theorem Soit K un corps quardratique réel avec discriminant D dont l unité fondamentale est totalement positive. Soit χ un caractère sur les idéaux de K tel que l on a χ((α)) = sign(n(α)) pour un idéal principal (α), c est-à-dire, χ est un caractère sure le group des classes d idéaux au sens restreint qui n est pas induit per un caractère sure les groupe des classes d idéaux au sens large. Supposons maintenant que χ est réel. Il est connu que ces caractères correspondent à toutes les décompositions possibles (à l ordre près) D = D 1 D 2 du discriminant de K en produit de deux discriminants de corps. On a alors: h(d 1 )h(d 2 ) = 1 6 C Cl(K ) χ(c)m(c) (avec les conventions h( 3) = 1/3, h( 4) = 1/2)
9 Zagier s Theorem en anglais Let K be a real quadratic field with discriminant D and fundamental unit of positive norm. Let χ be a character (to be defined in English later) and suppose that χ is real. If D = D 1 D 2 for two fundamental discriminants D 1,D 2 of imaginary quadratic fields then h(d 1 )h(d 2 ) = 1 6 C Cl(K ) χ(c)m(c) (with the conventions h( 3) = 1/3, h( 4) = 1/2)

13 The Remainder of the Talk Vague outline of Zagier s Proof What is χ? What is the Magic Number? The cases we could work out explicitly
14 What is χ? Definition Let χ be the character of the narrow class group (not induced from the wide class group) extending χ((α)) = sign(n(α)) on principal ideals (α), restricted to the wide class group. Lemma If χ is real and D = D 1 D 2 then L(s, χ) = L D1 (s)l D1 (s).
15 What is χ? Definition Let χ be the character of the narrow class group (not induced from the wide class group) extending χ((α)) = sign(n(α)) on principal ideals (α), restricted to the wide class group. Lemma If χ is real and D = D 1 D 2 then L(s, χ) = L D1 (s)l D1 (s). To apply the theorem we want: 1. Set D 1 (mod 4) so the f.u. of K has positive norm. 2. Want Cl(K ) no have no odd part. 3. We want Cl nar (K ) = Z/2Z Cl wide (K ) so that χ is real.
16 The Magic... Revealed! What is the magic number: Let U be any representative of the ideal class of C Cl(K ). Write a Z basis for U Then f.u. acts on the basis as an element A of SL(2, Z). SL(2, Z) acts on the upper half plane by F.L.T. Take the neg. continued fraction of the fixed point of A. Call it [b 0 ;b 1, b 2,..., b r ]. Then ( ) ( b1 1 b2 1 A = and the Dedekind sum m(c) = r i=1 (b i 3). ) ( br )
17 Our Zagier s Theorem Theorem Let K be the real quadratic field of discriminant D = 8p n i=1 q i such that p = 3 (mod 8) and q i = 1 (mod 8). Suppose that Cl(K ) = (Z/2Z) n. Then Cl(K ) = q i and h( p q i ) = 1 k j 2p q k 6 qj C= q j m
18 Our Zagier s Theorem Theorem Let K be the real quadratic field of discriminant D = 8p n i=1 q i such that p = 3 (mod 8) and q i = 1 (mod 8). Suppose that Cl(K ) = (Z/2Z) n. Then Cl(K ) = q i and h( p q i ) = 1 k j 2p q k 6 qj C= q j m Proof: 1. Show a 2 b 2 2p q i = q j has no solutions for a, b Z. 2. Use L(s, χ) = L D1 (s)l D1 (s) to show ( ) 2 χ(c) = = 1 qj 3. Use Zagier s Theorem.
19 A Question From Richard Guy Is it true/can anyone prove the following? Conjecture h( p)h( p) m( p) = { 0 (mod 16) h( p) 1, 7 (mod 8) 8 (mod 16) h( p) 3, 5 (mod 8)
