Even prime discriminants #

The genus-field layer of the multiquadratic roadmap uses the prime discriminants dividing a quadratic discriminant. The odd-prime normalization p* is developed in TauCeti.NumberTheory.Multiquadratic.Prime.Discriminant.Basic; this file records the complementary 2-adic list:

The quotient by 4 is the radicand whose square root generates the same quadratic field as the corresponding even prime discriminant. This is the small arithmetic API needed before the later genus-field package can form the multiquadratic compositum of the ℚ(√p*) factors.

Main definitions and results #

The three even prime discriminants: -4, 8, and -8.

    The squarefree radicand associated to an even prime discriminant. For D = -4, 8, -8 this gives respectively -1, 2, -2.

      An even prime discriminant is four times its associated squarefree radicand.

      The absolute value of the radicand attached to an even prime discriminant is 1 or 2.

      The radicand attached to an even prime discriminant is nonzero.

      The radicand attached to an even prime discriminant is squarefree.

      The even prime discriminants themselves are even.

      The radicand attached to an even prime discriminant is congruent to -1 or 2 modulo 4.

      The rational radicand associated to an even prime discriminant is not a square.
