1 Are ζ-functions able to solve Diophantine equations? An introduction to (non-commutative) Iwasawa theory Mathematical Institute University of Heidelberg CMS Winter 2007 Meeting
2 Leibniz (1673) L-functions The analytic class number formula = π 4 (already known to GREGORY and MADHAVA)
3 L-functions The analytic class number formula Special values of L-functions
4 L-functions The analytic class number formula N 1, (Z/NZ) units of ring Z/NZ. Dirichlet Character (modulo N) : χ : (Z/NZ) C extends to N χ(n) := { χ(n mod N), (n, N) = 1; 0, otherwise.
5 L-functions The analytic class number formula Dirichlet L-function w.r.t. χ : satisfies: - Euler product L(s, χ) = n=1 χ(n), s ɛ C, R(s) > 1. ns L(s, χ) = p 1 1 χ(p)p s, - meromorphic continuation to C, - functional equation.
6 Examples L-functions The analytic class number formula χ 1 : Riemann ζ-function 1 ζ(s) = n s = p n=1 1 1 p s, χ 1 : (Z/4Z) = {1, 3} C, χ 1 (1) = 1, χ 1 (3) = 1 L(1, χ 1 ) = = π 4
7 Examples L-functions The analytic class number formula χ 1 : Riemann ζ-function 1 ζ(s) = n s = p n=1 1 1 p s, χ 1 : (Z/4Z) = {1, 3} C, χ 1 (1) = 1, χ 1 (3) = 1 L(1, χ 1 ) = = π 4
8 L-functions The analytic class number formula
9 L-functions The analytic class number formula Conjectures of Catalan and Fermat p, q prime numbers Catalan(1844), Theorem(MIHǍILESCU, 2002): x p y q = 1, has unique solution in Z with x, y > = 1 Fermat(1665), Theorem(WILES et al., 1994): x p + y p = z p, p > 2, has no solution in Z with xyz 0.
10 L-functions The analytic class number formula Conjectures of Catalan and Fermat p, q prime numbers Catalan(1844), Theorem(MIHǍILESCU, 2002): x p y q = 1, has unique solution in Z with x, y > = 1 Fermat(1665), Theorem(WILES et al., 1994): x p + y p = z p, p > 2, has no solution in Z with xyz 0.
11 L-functions The analytic class number formula Factorisation over larger ring of integers ζ m primitive mth root of unity Z[ζ m ] the ring of integers of Q(ζ m ), e.g. for m = 4 with i 2 = 1 we have in Z[i] = {a + bi a, b ɛ Z} : x 3 y 2 = 1 x 3 = (y + i)(y i) and for m = p n we have in Z[ζ p n] : x pn +y pn = (x + y)(x + ζ p ny)(x + ζ 2 p ny)... (x + ζpn 1 p n y) = z pn.
12 The strategy L-functions The analytic class number formula Hope: Use unique prime factorisation to conclude a contradiction from the assumption that the Catalan or Fermat equation has a non-trivial solution. Problem: In general, Z[ζ m ] is not a unique factorisation domain (UFD), e.g. Z[ζ 23 ]!
13 The strategy L-functions The analytic class number formula Hope: Use unique prime factorisation to conclude a contradiction from the assumption that the Catalan or Fermat equation has a non-trivial solution. Problem: In general, Z[ζ m ] is not a unique factorisation domain (UFD), e.g. Z[ζ 23 ]!
14 Ideals L-functions The analytic class number formula Kummer: Replace numbers by ideal numbers : For ideals(=z[ζ m ]-submodules) 0 a Z[ζ m ] we have unique factorisation into prime ideals P i 0 : a = n i=1 P n i i Principal ideals: (a) = Z[ζ m ]a
15 Ideal class group L-functions The analytic class number formula Cl(Q(ζ m )) : = { ideals of Z[ζ m ]}/{ principal ideals of Z[ζ m ]} = Pic(Z[ζ m ]) Fundamental Theorem of algebraic number theory: #Cl(Q(ζ m )) < and h Q(ζm) := #Cl(Q(ζ m )) = 1 Z[ζ m ] is a UFD Nevertheless, Cl(Q(ζ m )) is difficult to determine, too many relations!
16 The L-function solves the problem L-functions The analytic class number formula How can we compute h Q(i)? It is a mystery that knows the answer! L(s, χ 1 )
17 The L-function solves the problem L-functions The analytic class number formula How can we compute h Q(i)? It is a mystery that knows the answer! L(s, χ 1 )
18 The cyclotomic character L-functions The analytic class number formula Gauß: G(Q(ζ N )/Q) κ N = (Z/NZ) with g(ζ N ) = ζ κ N(g) N N = 4 : for all g ɛ G(Q(ζ N )/Q) χ 1 is character of Galois group G(Q(i)/Q) L(s, χ 1 ) (analytic) invariant of Q(i).
19 L-functions The analytic class number formula Analytic class number formula for imaginary quadratic number fields: h Q(i) = #µ(q(i)) N L(1, χ 1 ) 2π = 4 2 2π L(1, χ 1) = 4 π L(1, χ 1) = 1 (by Leibniz formula) Z[i] is a UFD.
20 L-functions The analytic class number formula Analytic class number formula for imaginary quadratic number fields: h Q(i) = #µ(q(i)) N L(1, χ 1 ) 2π = 4 2 2π L(1, χ 1) = 4 π L(1, χ 1) = 1 (by Leibniz formula) Z[i] is a UFD.
21 L-functions The analytic class number formula Analytic class number formula for imaginary quadratic number fields: h Q(i) = #µ(q(i)) N L(1, χ 1 ) 2π = 4 2 2π L(1, χ 1) = 4 π L(1, χ 1) = 1 (by Leibniz formula) Z[i] is a UFD.
22 L-functions The analytic class number formula A special case of the Catalan equation Since L(s, χ 1 ) knows the arithmetic of Q(i), it is able to solve our problem: Claim: x 3 y 2 = 1 has no solution in Z. In the decomposition x 3 = (y + i)(y i) the factors (y + i) and (y i) are coprime (easy!) y + i = (a + bi) 3 for some a, b ɛ Z taking Re( ) and Im( ) gives: y = 0, contradiction!
23 Regular primes L-functions The analytic class number formula Similarly ζ(s) knows for which p Cl(Q(ζ p ))(p) = 1 holds! Then the Fermat equation does not have any non-trivial solution. But 37 h Cl(Q(ζ37 ))! Iwasawa: Cl(Q(ζ p n))(p) =? for n 1.

28 Riemann hypothesis for C ζ C is a rational function in t and has poles at: s = 0, s = 1 zeroes at certain s = α satisfying R(α) = 1 2. Can the Riemann ζ-function also be expressed as rational function?
