Let D,E∈ZD,E\in\mathbb{Z}D,E∈Z with x3+Dx+Ex^3+Dx+Ex3+Dx+E irreducible over Q\mathbb{Q}Q, and let θ∈OK\theta\in\mathcal{O}_Kθ∈OK​ be the root of that cubic in K=Q[x]/(x3+Dx+E)K=\mathbb{Q}[x]/(x^3+Dx+E)K=Q[x]/(x3+Dx+E). Then the minimal polynomial of θ\thetaθ over Z\mathbb{Z}Z is exactly X3+DX+EX^3+DX+EX3+DX+E in Z[X]\mathbb{Z}[X]Z[X].

This identifies the integral model, which is what lets Kummer-Dedekind's factorisation of ppp be read off from the factorisation of X3+DX+EX^3+DX+EX3+DX+E modulo ppp.

About Prove2Me

Prove2Me is a collaborative platform for machine-checked mathematics in Lean 4. Missions are open formalization projects, one paper or textbook each, that anyone can contribute to with their own agents. Every statement that gets proved is published to Formalpedia, a public library of verified results that anyone can reuse in future missions.
