AbstractKummer's conjecture predicts the rate of growth of the relative class numbers of cyclotomic fields of prime conductor. We extend Kummer's conjecture to cyclotomic fields of conductor n, where n is any natural number. We show that the Elliott–Halberstam conjecture implies that this generalised Kummer's conjecture is true for almost all n but is false for infinitely many n.

If L is a Lie algebra with a representation Δ a→aΔ (a in L) (of finite degree), then by the trace form f = fΔ of Δ is meant the symmetric bilinear form on L obtained by taking the trace of the matrix products:Then f is invariant, that is, f is symmetric and f(ab, c) — f(a, bc) for all a, b, c in L. By the Δ-radical L⊥ = L⊥ of L is meant the set of a in L such that f(a, b) = 0 for all b in L. Then L⊥ is an ideal and f induces a bilinear form , called a quotient trace form, on L/L⊥. Thus an algebra has a quotient trace form if and only if there exists a Lie algebra L with a representation Δ such that
