If ( pรq)=( pรr)=(qรr)=&1, fix u pq , u pr , u qr # Z satisfying u 2 pq #pq (mod r), u 2 pr #pr (mod q), u 2 qr #qr (mod p). Then h is even if and only if (u pq รr)(u pr รq)(u qr รp)=&1. 2. If ( pรq)=1, ( pรr)=(qรr)=&1, then the parity of h is the same as the parity of the class number of the biqua

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.
Suppose g > 2 is an odd integer. For real number X > 2, define S g รฐX ร the number of squarefree integers d4X with the class number of the real quadratic field Qรฐ ffiffiffi d p ร being divisible by g. By constructing the discriminants based on the work of Yamamoto, we prove that a lower bound S g รฐX
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.
Let k be an imaginary quadratic number field with C k, 2 , the 2-Sylow subgroup of its ideal class group, isomorphic to Zร2Z\_Zร2Z\_Zร2Z. By the use of various versions of the Kuroda class number formula, we improve significantly upon our previous lower bound for |C k 1 , 2 | , the 2-class number of
