A number field is said to be monogenic if its ring of integers is a simple ring extension ℤ[α] of ℤ. It is a classical and usually difficult problem to determine whether a given number field is monogenic and, if it is, to find all numbers α that generate a power integral basis {1, α, α2, …, αk} for the ring. The nth cyclotomic field ℚ(ζn) is known to be monogenic for all n, and recently Ranieri proved that if n is coprime to 6, then up to integer translation all the integral generators for ℚ(ζn) lie on the unit circle or the line Re (z) = 1/2 in the complex plane. We prove that this geometric restriction extends to the cases n = 3k and n = 4k, where k is coprime to 6. We use this result to find all power integral bases for ℚ(ζn) for n = 15, 20, 21, 28. This leads us to a conjectural solution to the problem of finding all integral generators for cyclotomic fields.

We consider the problem of determining all power integral bases for the maximal real subfield Q (ζ + ζ−1) of the p-th cyclotomic field Q (ζ), where p ≥ 5 is prime and ζ is a primitive p-th root of unity. The ring of integers is Z[ζ+ζ−1] so a power integral basis always exists, and there are further non-obvious generators for the ring. Specifically, we prove that if or one of the Galois conjugates of these five algebraic integers. Up to integer translation and multiplication by −1, there are no additional generators for p ≤ 11, and it is plausible that there are no additional generators for p > 13 as well. For p = 13 there is an additional generator, but we show that it does not generalise to an additional generator for 13 < p < 1000.

We collect some statements regarding equivalence of the parities of various class numbers and signature ranks of units in prime power cyclotomic fields. We correct some misstatements in the literature regarding these parities by providing an example of a prime cyclotomic field where the signature rank of the units and the signature rank of the circular units are not equal.

AbstractIn this paper the following result is proved. Suppose there exists a C-matrix of order n + 1. Then if n≡1 (mod 4) there exists a Hadamard matrix of order 2nr(n + 1), while if n≡3 (mod 4) there exists a Hadamard matrix of order nr(n + 1) for all r ≧0. If n≡1 (mod 4) is a prime power, the method is adapted to prove the existence of a Hadamard matrix of the Williamson type, of order 2nr(n + 1), for all r ≧0.

Let c ≥ 0, d ≥ 2 be integers and be the variety of groups in which every d-generator subgroup is nilpotent of class at most c. N.D. Gupta asked for what values of c and d is it true that is locally nilpotent? We prove that if c ≤ 2d + 2d−1 − 3 then the variety is locally nilpotent and we reduce the question of Gupta about the periodic groups in to the prime power exponent groups in this variety.

The energy of a graph is the sum of the moduli of the eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix. We study the energy of integral circulant graphs, also called gcd graphs. Such a graph can be characterized by its vertex count n and a set D of divisors of n such that its vertex set is Zn and its edge set is {{a,b} : a, b ? Zn; gcd(a-b, n)? D}. For an integral circulant graph on ps vertices, where p is a prime, we derive a closed formula for its energy in terms of n and D. Moreover, we study minimal and maximal energies for fixed ps and varying divisor sets D.
