The class-number one problem for some real cubic number fields with negative discriminants

Class-number Problems for Cubic Number Fields

Computation of Real Quadratic Fields with Class Number One

A rapid method for determining whether the real quadratic field Sí = S(\/D) has class number one is described. The method makes use of the infrastructure idea of Shanks to determine the regulator of .W and then uses the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis to rapidly estimate L(l, x) to the accuracy needed for determining whether or not the class number of 3£ is one. The results of running this algor...

Class number approximation in cubic function fields

A central problem in number theory and algebraic geometry is the determination of the size of the group of rational points on the Jacobian of an algebraic curve over a finite field. This question also has applications to cryptography, since cryptographic systems based on algebraic curves generally require a Jacobian of non-smooth order in order to foil certain types of attacks. There a variety ...

The class number one problem for some non-abelian normal CM-fields of degree 48

We determine all the non-abelian normal CM-fields of degree 24 with class number one, provided that the Galois group of their maximal real subfields is isomorphic to A4, the alternating group of degree 4 and order 12. There are two such fields with Galois group A4 × C2 (see Theorem 14) and at most one with Galois group SL2(F3) (see Theorem 18); if the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis is true, the...

CM-fields with relative class number one

We will show that the normal CM-fields with relative class number one are of degrees ≤ 216. Moreover, if we assume the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, then the normal CM-fields with relative class number one are of degrees ≤ 96, and the CM-fields with class number one are of degrees ≤ 104. By many authors all normal CM-fields of degrees ≤ 96 with class number one are known except for the possib...
