Project Summary

NumberFields@home searches for fields with special properties. The primary application of this research is in the realm of algebraic number theory. Number theorists can mine the data for interesting patterns to help them formulate conjectures about number fields. Ultimately, this research will lead to a deeper understanding of the profound properties of numbers, the basic building blocks of all mathematics.

NumberFields@home is based at the school of mathematics at Arizona State University (http://math.asu.edu/). The final results of this project will be complete tables of number fields. The results are given in table form or as a searchable database. (http://hobbes.la.asu.edu/NFDB/)
