Equidistribution of Elements of Norm 1 in Cyclic Extensions

Abstract

Upon quotienting by units, the elements of norm 1 in a number field $K$ form a countable subset of a torus of dimension $r_1 + r_2 - 1$ where $r_1$ and $r_2$ are the numbers of real and pairs of complex embeddings. When $K$ is Galois with cyclic Galois group we demonstrate that this countable set is equidistributed in a finite cover of this torus with respect to a natural partial ordering induced by Hilbert's Theorem 90.
