For a prime number l, let h> J be the class number of the maximal real subfield of the l-th cyclotomic field. For each natural number N, it is plausible but not yet proved that there exist infinitely many prime numbers l with h> J 'N. We prove an analogous assertion for cyclotomic function fields.

It is well-known that in the cyclotomic number field Q(`pn) of prime power conductor, where `pn=exp(2?i p n ), the index of cyclotomic units in the total unit group is equal to the class number of its maximal real subfield, which is due to Kummer. On the other hand, in 1962 Iwasawa [Iw] showed that
Let q be a power of a prime number p and k=F q (T ) the rational function field with a fixed indeterminate T. For an irreducible monic P=P(T ) in R=F q [T], let k(P) + be the maximal real subfield of the P th cyclotomic function field and h + T (P) the class number of k(P) + associated to R. We prov
The analogues of the classical Kronecker and Hurwitz class number relations for function fields of any positive characteristic are obtained by a method parallel to the classical proof. In the case of even characteristic, purely inseparable orders also have to be taken into account. A subtle point is
In a previous paper we proved that there are 11 quadratic algebraic function fields with divisor class number two. Here we complete the classification of algebraic function fields with divisor class number two giving all non-quadratic solutions. Our result is the following. Let us denote by k the fi
For y # R >0 an integral ideal of an algebraic number field F is called y-smooth if the norms of all of its prime ideal factors are bounded by y. Assuming the generalized Riemann hypothesis we prove a lower bound for the number F (x, y) of integral y-smooth ideals in F whose norms are bounded by x #
