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.
-
If ( pรq)=1, ( pรr)=(qรr)=&1, then the parity of h is the same as the parity of the class number of the biquadratic field Q(-p, -q).
-
If ( pรq)=(qรr)=1, ( pรr)=&1, then h is even.
-
If ( pรq)=( pรr)=(qรr)=1, then h is even. (Moreover, if we denote by v pq , v pr , v qr , v pqr the highest exponents of 2 dividing the class number of Q(-p, -q), Q(-p, -r), Q(-q, -r), Q(-p, -q, -r), respectively, then v pqr 1+v pq +v pr +v qr .

In ARTIS [I] examples of cubic algebraic number fields & ( a ) are treated i l l which the index o f v is not one, and hence (1, v, vz} is not an integral bitsis. It would seem that in the literature there are few examples of fields & ( I ) ) of higher degree in which the index of 7) is not one. Thi
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.
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
