Even prime discriminants #

The prime discriminants are the fundamental discriminants divisible by exactly one prime: the odd ones p* = (-1)^((p - 1) / 2) p, developed in TauCeti.NumberTheory.Multiquadratic.Prime.Discriminant.Basic, and the three even ones treated here. Each even prime discriminant is four times a squarefree radicand:

The quotient D / 4 is the radicand whose square root generates the same quadratic field ℚ(√D). These are the 2-adic factors in the factorization of a fundamental discriminant into prime discriminants.

Main definitions and results #

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

Instances For

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

    Instances For

      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.
