Binomial squares in pure cubic number fields
Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux, Volume 24 (2012) no. 3, pp. 691-704.

Let K=(ω), with ω 3 =m a positive integer, be a pure cubic number field. We show that the elements αK × whose squares have the form a-ω for rational numbers a form a group isomorphic to the group of rational points on the elliptic curve E m :y 2 =x 3 -m. This result will allow us to construct unramified quadratic extensions of pure cubic number fields K.

Soit K=(ω), avec ω 3 =m>1 un nombre entier, un corps de nombres cubique. Nous montrons que les éléments αK × avec α 2 =a-ω (où a est un nombre rationnel) forment un groupe qui est isomorphe au groupe des points rationnels de la courbe elliptique E m :y 2 =x 3 -m. Nous démontrons aussi comment utiliser cette observation pour construire des extensions quadratiques non ramifiées de K.
