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

✦ Synopsis
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.

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
Suppose g > 2 is an odd integer. For real number X > 2, define S g ðX Þ the number of squarefree integers d4X with the class number of the real quadratic field Qð ffiffiffi d p Þ being divisible by g. By constructing the discriminants based on the work of Yamamoto, we prove that a lower bound S g ðX
The maximal unramified extensions of the imaginary quadratic number fields with class number two are determined explicitly under the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis.
In this note, we extend the Uchida Washington construction of the simplest cubic fields with class numbers divisible by a given rational integer, to the wildly ramified case, which was previously excluded.
