The unit signature rank deficiency is unbounded over cyclotomic fields

David S. Dummit and Hershy Kisilevsky

Vol. 314 (2021), No. 2, 259–267
Abstract

We prove that the rank of the elementary abelian 2-group of totally positive units modulo the squares of all units in totally real cyclotomic fields can be arbitrarily large.

Keywords
