Number fields research digs into the algebraic structures that extend the rational numbers, like adding square roots or cube roots of integers. Mathematicians explore properties such as unique factorization, which can fail in these fields, and study the behavior of primes. This work underpins modern cryptography and has deep connections to Fermat's Last Theorem.
