Following the analogy between primes and knots, we introduce the refined Milnor invariants for prime numbers and establish their connection with certain Massey products in Galois cohomology. This generalizes the well-known relation between the power residue symbol and cup product and gives a cohomological interpretation of L. Rédei's triple symbol.
We characterize the groups of branched twist spins of classical knots in terms of 3-manifold groups, and also give a purely algebraic, conjectural characterization in terms of P D 3 -groups. We show also that each group is the group of at most finitely many branched twist spins.
As an interpretation and a generalization of Gauss’ genus theory on binary quadratic forms in the language of arithmetic of algebraic tori, Ono [02] established an equality between a kind of “Euler number E(K/k)” for a finite Galois extension K/k of algebraic number fields and other arithmetical invariants associated to K/k. His proof depended on his Tamagawa number formula [01] and Shyr’s formula [Sh] which follows from the analytic class number formula of a torus. Later, two direct proofs were given by Katayama [K] and Sasaki [Sa].
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
