DETERMINATION OF CLASS NUMBERS OR THE SIMPLEST CUBIC FIELDS

  • Published : 2001.10.01

Abstract

Using p-adic class number formula, we derive a congru-ence relation for class numbers of the simplest cubic fields which can be considered as a cubic analogue of Ankeny-Artin-Chowlas theo-rem, Furthermore, we give an elementary proof for an upper bound for the class numbers of the simplest cubic fields.
