Suppose that is a number field with ring of integers .
(i) Suppose that is a sub- -module of of finite index and that is closed under multiplication. Define the discriminant of and of , and show that
(ii) Describe when .
[You may assume that the polynomial has discriminant .]
(iii) Suppose that are monic quadratic polynomials with equal discriminant , and that is square-free. Show that is isomorphic to .
