Sums of squares in -integers

arXiv:2005.06566

Abstract

In totally real number fields, we characterize the rings of -integers (obtained by inverting a rational integer ) such that all their totally positive elements are represented as a sum of squares. We further obtain partial answers to the question: when are all the totally positive algebraic integers that are divisible by represented as a sum of squares?
