Partition regularity in imaginary quadratic rings of integers

Abstract

We obtain partition regularity results for homogeneous quadratic equations whose parametrized solutions admit nice factorizations into linear forms over rings of integers of imaginary quadratic fields. To do so, we develop number-theoretic results of independent interest on such fields, such as a characterization for aperiodic completely multiplicative functions, the Turán-Kubilius inequality, and a new concentration estimate for multiplicative functions.
