For a prime number p, let ކ p be the finite field of cardinality p and X ϭ X p a fixed indeterminate. We prove that for any natural number N, there exist infinitely many pairs ( p, K/ކ p (X )) of a prime number p and a ''real'' quadratic extension K/ކ p (X ) for which the genus of K is one and
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
