Periodic Jacobi-Perron algorithms and fundamental units

Nambury Sitarama Raju

Vol. 64 (1976), No. 1, 241–251
Abstract

In this paper the author states a class of infinitely many real cubic fields for which the Jacobi-Perron algorithm of a properly chosen vector becomes periodic and calculates explicitly a fundamental unit for each field. The main results of this paper are: Let m = a6 + 3a3 + 3, ω = √3m--, m cube free a N; then the Jacobi-Perron algorithm of a(0) = (ω,ω2) is periodic. The length of the primitive preperiod is four and the length of the primitive period is three. A fundamental unit in Q(ω) is given by e = a3 + 1 .
