The objective of this book is to provide tools for solving problems
which involve cubic number fields. Many such problems can be
considered geometrically; both in terms of the geometry of numbers
and geometry of the associated cubic Diophantine equations that are
similar in many ways to the Pell equation. With over 50 geometric
diagrams, this book includes illustrations of many of these topics.
The book may be thought of as a companion reference for those
students of algebraic number theory who wish to find more examples,
a collection of recent research results on cubic fields, an
easy-to-understand source for learning about Voronoi's unit
algorithm and several classical results which are still relevant to
the field, and a book which helps bridge a gap in understanding
connections between algebraic geometry and number theory. The
exposition includes numerous discussions on calculating with cubic
fields including simple continued fractions of cubic irrational
numbers, arithmetic using integer matrices, ideal class group
computations, lattices over cubic fields, construction of cubic
fields with a given discriminant, the search for elements of norm 1
of a cubic field with rational parametrization, and Voronoi's
algorithm for finding a system of fundamental units. Throughout,
the discussions are framed in terms of a binary cubic form that may
be used to describe a given cubic field. This unifies the chapters
of this book despite the diversity of their number theoretic
topics.
