Associated elements in $mathbb{Z}[frac{1+sqrt{-3}}{2}]$












2












$begingroup$


I got four elements and want to check whether these elements are associated or not. For
$alpha = frac{1+sqrt{-3}}{2}$
my elements are:



$a_1 = 2 - alpha = frac{3 - sqrt{-3}}{2}$



$a_2 = 1 - 2alpha = -sqrt{-3}$



$ a_3 = 3 + 2alpha = 4 + sqrt{-3}$



$ a_4 = 3 - 2alpha = 2 - sqrt{-3}$



I just calculated $frac{a_1}{a_2} = frac{1-sqrt{-3}}{2}$ and $frac{a_2}{a_1} = frac{-1+sqrt{-3}}{2}$. All other pairs $frac{a_1}{a_3}, frac{a_1}{a_4},frac{a_2}{a_3} frac{a_2}{a_4}, frac{a_3}{a_4}$ give an odd denominator which is not possble in $mathbb{Z}[frac{1+sqrt{-3}}{2}]$ (except the denomitor 1), therefore only $a_1$ and $a_2$ are associated... is this right? Or do I miss something?



Thx for any help on this

          I would just compute the norms first. We have
          $$N(a_1)=frac{3^2+3}{4}=3,$$
          $$N(a_2)=3,$$
          $$N(a_3)=4^2+3=19,$$
          and
          $$N(a_4)=2^2+3=7.$$
          So the only candidates to be conjugates are $a_1$ and $a_2$, which you have verified to be the case.
