Number of ideals of a given norm












5












$begingroup$


Is there any analytic expression(those involving exp, sin, cos etc...) which gives the number of ideals of a given norm?



of course we are lying in an algebraic number field.

          Not really. There are upper bounds on the number of ideals of a given norm in a given ideal class, but I don't believe that the expression you're looking for exists.



          If you take an ideal $mathfrak{p}lhdmathcal{O}_K$ of norm bounded by $n$ and consider its image in the class group $[mathfrak{p}]$, then we can find an inverse say $[mathfrak{q}]$ in the class group, and hence $mathfrak{p}mathfrak{q}=(alpha)$ is principal with $alphainmathfrak{q}$ and $|operatorname{Nm}(alpha)|le noperatorname{Nm}(mathfrak{q})$. And if $alphainmathfrak{q}$, and $|operatorname{Nm}(alpha)|le noperatorname{Nm}(mathfrak{q})$, then $mathfrak{p}=(alpha)mathfrak{q}^{-1}$ is an ideal of norm bounded by $n$.



          So the number of ideals of norm bounded by $n$ in a given class, say $X$, is equal to the number of principal ideals $(alpha)$, where $alphainmathfrak{q}$ (and $[mathfrak{q}]=X^{-1}$ in the class group), and $|operatorname{Nm}(alpha)|le noperatorname{Nm}(mathfrak{q})$.



          Let $x_1,dots,x_d$ be an integral basis for $mathcal{O}_K$, and let $alpha=r_1x_1+cdots+r_dx_d$. Then we can try and turn the problem of finding principal ideals $(alpha)$ into one of counting the lattice points $(r_1,dots,r_d)inmathbb{Z}^d$. This is explained in considerably more detail here.
