Imaginary time is a wonky concept for our time-bound brains, but in quantum theory and mathematics, it’s a useful tool for exploring radiation's interaction with materials. A new study from scientists ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract We determine explicitly the quadratic subfield of a noncyclotomic Z2-extension of an imaginary quadratic number field and get a congruence ...

The 'imaginary' number shouldn't be possible, but turns out to be utterly indispensable. Rutherford and Fry wrestle with its perplexing power. Show more There is a bizarre number in maths referred to ...

In this paper we compute the relative class number of all imaginary Abelian fields of prime conductor below 10000. Our approach is based on a novel multiple evaluation technique, and, assuming the ERH ...
