Extract

Let Κ be a finite number field and let ο be the ring of algebraic integers in Κ. The algebraic integers in a finite extension field Λ of Κ form a ring . We shall be concerned here with the structure of such rings , viewed as modules over ο. It will be useful to begin with a brief discussion of a new concept of the discriminant of Λ/Κ, introduced in a preceding paper [1], which will be our principal tool (see also [2]).
