Talk:Stark–Heegner theorem

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Being a PID is not equivalent to being a UFD—a priori, the claim in the paper only proves one direction of the theorem. If in this context UFD implies PID, that should be noted. Tesseran 00:11, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

The ring of integers of a number field is a Dedekind domain, and a DD is a UFD iff it is a PID. Algebraist

The statement about factorization of ideals applies to the ring of integers of the number field, not the number field itself, as asserted in the article. --Coolpapabell 22:41, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
