Analytic Class

The first factor of the class number of a cyclotomic number field can be obtainable by the analytic class number formula and there are some tables which show the decompositions of the first factors into primes. But, using just the analytic formula, we cannot tell what kinds of primes will appear as the factors of the class number of a given cyclotomic number field, except for those of the genus number, or the irregular primes. It is significant to find in advance the prime factors, particularly those prime to the degree of the field. For instance, in the table of the first factors we can pick out some pairs (l, p) of two odd primes l and p such that the class number of each lpth cyclotomic number field is divisible by l even if p 1 (mod l). If p ≡ (mod l) for l ≥ 5 or p ≡ 1 (mod 32) for l = 3, then it is easy from the outset to achieve our intention of finding the factor l using the genus number formula. Otherwise it seems to be difficult. We wish to make it clear algebraically why the class number has the prime factor l.

Elliptic Units

AbstractElliptic units of global function fields were first studied by D. Hayes in the case that deg ∞ is assumed to be 1, and he obtained some class number formulas using elliptic units. We generalize Hayes’ results to the case that deg ∞ is arbitrary.

AbstractIn this paper, we generalize the Kučera's group-determinant formulae to obtain the real and relative class number formulae of any subfield of cyclotomic function fields with arbitrary conductor in the form of a product of determinants. From these formulae, we generalize the relative class number formula of Rosen and Bae-Kang and obtain analogous results of Tsumura and Hirabayashi for an intermediate field in the tower of cyclotomic function fields with prime power conductor.

We propose an algorithm to verify the$p$-part of the class number for a number field$K$, provided$K$is totally real and an abelian extension of the rational field$\mathbb{Q}$, and$p$is any prime. On fields of degree 4 or higher, this algorithm has been shown heuristically to be faster than classical algorithms that compute the entire class number, with improvement increasing with larger field degrees.
