Abstract:
The authors have constructed a table of the 26440 nonconjugate totally real cubic number fields of discriminant $D < 500000$ thereby extending the existing table of fields with $D < 100000$ by I. O. Angell [1]. Serious defects in Angell’s table are pointed out. For each field, running number, discriminant, coefficients of a generating polynomial, integral basis, class number, and a fundamental pair of units are listed. The article contains statistics about the following subjects: distribution of class numbers; fields in which every norm-positive unit is totally positive; nonconjugate fields with the same discriminant; fields with noncyclic class group. The fields are tabulated by means of a method due to Davenport and Heilbronn [7], [8] which leads to a unique normalized generating polynomial. The given units are chosen so that the fundamental parallelogram of the unit lattice determined by the corresponding vectors in the logarithmic space is reduced.References
