ABSTRACT
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, asserting that in this case h( d) = 1 is possible only if d is of the form p, 2 q or qr, where p, q, r are primes and q â‰¡ r â‰¡ 3(mod 4).

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...

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,...

Given a function f : E â†’ R with E âŠ‚ ℝ:n, we explain how to decide whether f extends to a âŠ‚m function F on â„n. If E is finite, then one can efficiently compute an F as above, whose Cm norm has the least possible order of magnitude (joint work with B. Klartag).

Let G be a reductive group over a local field of characteristic zero or a finite central cover of such a group. We present a conjecture that enables one to define formal degree for all unitary representations of G. The conjecture is proved for GLn and over real and p-adic fields, together with a...
