About the Lab

Professor Dongho Byeon's research lab specializes in algebraic number theory, with a focus on class numbers, class groups, and fundamental units in real and imaginary quadratic fields. The lab investigates deep arithmetic properties of quadratic and cubic fields, including the distribution of class numbers modulo primes, the structure of 2-class groups, and the existence of fields with specific class group structures. Using tools from analytic number theory, L-functions, and modular forms, the lab also explores connections to elliptic curves, Heegner points, and Diophantine problems such as the Goldfeld conjecture and the binary Goldbach problem for polynomials.

Divisibility of class numbers of imaginary quadratic fields whose discriminant has only two prime factors
Dongho Byeon, Shinae Lee
SJR Q3Proceedings of the Japan Academy Series A Mathematical SciencesOA

Let $g \geq 2$ and $n \geq 1$ be integers. In this paper, we shall show that there are infinitely many imaginary quadratic fields whose class number is divisible by $2g$ and whose discriminant has only two prime divisors. As a corollary, we shall show that there are infinitely many imaginary quadratic fields whose 2-class group is a cyclic group of order divisible by $2^{n}$.

Rank-one quadratic twists of an infinite family of elliptic curves
Dongho Byeon, Daeyeol Jeon, Chang Heon Kim
SJR Q1Journal für die reine und angewandte Mathematik (Crelles Journal)

A conjecture of Goldfeld implies that a positive proportion of quadratic twists of an elliptic curve E/Q has (analytic) rank 1. This assertion has been confirmed by Vatsal [V1] and the first author [By] for only two elliptic curves. Here we confirm this assertion for infinitely many elliptic curves E/Q using the Heegner divisors, the 3-part of the class groups of quadratic fields, and a variant of the binary Goldbach problem for polynomials.
