Abstract

It is shown that the splitting modulo a prime p of a given monic, integral, irreducible cubic with non-square discriminant is equivalent to p being represented by forms in a certain subgroup of index 3 in the form class group of discriminant equal to the discriminant of the field defined by the cubic.
