ABSTRACT
Ideal class groups H(K) of algebraic quadratic function fields K are studied. Necessary and sufficient condition is given for the class group H(K) to contain a cyclic subgroup of any order n, which holds true for both real and imaginary fields K. Then several series of function fields K, including real, inertia imaginary, and ramified imaginary quadratic function fields, are given, for which the class groups H(K) are proved to contain cyclic subgroups of order n.

We prove that the distribution of the values of the 4-rank of ideal class groups of quadratic fields is not affected when it is weighted by a divisor type function. We then give several applications concerning a new lower bound of the sums of class numbers of real quadratic fields with...

We investigate arithmetic properties of certain subsets of square-free positive integers and obtain in this way some results concerning the class number h( d) of the real quadratic field $$\mathbb{Q}{\left( {{\sqrt d }} \right)}$$. In particular, we give a new proof of the result of Hasse,...

In 2002, Yorioka introduced the s-ideal $${{\mathcal {I}}_f}$$ for strictly increasing functions f from ? into ? to analyze the cofinality of the strong measure zero ideal. For each f, we study the cardinal coefficients (the additivity, covering number, uniformity and cofinality) of {{\mathcal...

Let L|K be an extension of algebraic number fields. By a theorem of Hecke, the ideal class of the different î•£L|K is a square in ClL. Whereas the class of the discriminant î–ƒL|K=NL|K(î•£L|K) is the square of the Steinitz class sL|K in ClK, which vanishes if and only if the ring RL...
