Class Numbers of Cyclotomic Function Fields
Let q be a prime power and let Fq be the nite eld with q elements. For each polynomial Q(T) in FqT ], one could use the Carlitz module to construct an abelian extension of Fq(T), called a Carlitz cyclotomic extension. Carlitz cyclotomic extensions play a fundamental role in the study of abelian extensions of Fq(T), similar to the role played by cyclotomic number elds for abelian extensions of Q...
متن کاملClass numbers of real cyclotomic fields of prime conductor
The class numbers h+l of the real cyclotomic fields Q(ζl + ζ −1 l ) are notoriously hard to compute. Indeed, the number h+l is not known for a single prime l ≥ 71. In this paper we present a table of the orders of certain subgroups of the class groups of the real cyclotomic fields Q(ζl + ζ −1 l ) for the primes l < 10, 000. It is quite likely that these subgroups are in fact equal to the class ...
متن کاملKummer’s Criterion on Class Numbers of Cyclotomic Fields
Kummer’s criterion is that p divides the class number of Q(μp) if and only if it divides the numerator of some Bernoulli number Bk for k = 2, 4, . . . , p − 3. This talk will start with explaining how finite groups of Dirichlet characters are in bijection with finite Abelian extensions of Q, and why the class number of an Abelian CM field is “almost” computable. This computation involves the ge...
متن کاملQuintic Polynomials and Real Cyclotomic Fields with Large Class Numbers
We study a family of quintic polynomials discoverd by Emma Lehmer. We show that the roots are fundamental units for the corresponding quintic fields. These fields have large class numbers and several examples are calculated. As a consequence, we show that for the prime p = 641491 the class number of the maximal real subfield of the pth cyclotomic field is divisible by the prime 1566401. In an a...
متن کاملClass numbers of some abelian extensions of rational function fields
Let P be a monic irreducible polynomial. In this paper we generalize the determinant formula for h(K Pn) of Bae and Kang and the formula for h−(KPn ) of Jung and Ahn to any subfields K of the cyclotomic function field KPn . By using these formulas, we calculate the class numbers h −(K), h(K+) of all subfields K of KP when q and deg(P ) are small.
