As $K$ and $f$ vary, the set of coordinates of all solutions is shown to be the exact set of periodic points of a single algebraic function $T(z)$ and its inverse defined on natural subsets of the maximal unramified, algebraic extension $\\textsf{K}_3$ of the $3$-adic field $\\mathbb{Q}_3$. This is used to give a dynamical proof of a class number relation of Deuring. This also determines all the periodic points of the algebraic function T(z), considered as a multi-valued function on $\\mathbb{C}$; all such periodic points, except for $z=3$, generate ring class fields over an imaginary quadratic field.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-10-24T19:32:32.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "imaginary quadratic field", "ring class fields", "cubic fermat equation", "periodic points", "algebraic function" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1410.6798M" } } }
