Class Number

For any ideal in a Dedekind ring, there is an ideal such that

(1)

where is a principal ideal, (i.e., an ideal of rank 1). Moreover, for a Dedekind ring with a finite ideal class group, there is a finite list of ideals such that this equation may be satisfied for some . The size of this list is known as the class number.

Class numbers are usually studied in the context of the orders of number fields. If this order is maximal, then it is the ring of integers of the number field, in which case the class number is equal to the order of the class group of the number field; otherwise it is equal to the order of the Picard group of the nonmaximal order in question.

When the class number of a ring of integers in a number field is 1, the ring corresponding to a given ideal has unique factorization and, in a sense, the class number is a measure of the failure of unique factorization in that ring.

A finite series giving exactly the class number of a ring is known as a class number formula. A class number formula is known for the full ring of cyclotomic integers, as well as for any subring of the cyclotomic integers. Finding the class number is a computationally difficult problem.

The Wolfram Language function NumberFieldClassNumber[Sqrt[d]] gives the class number for a fundamental discriminant.

The class number of an order of a quadratic field with discriminant is equal to the number of reduced binary quadratic forms of discriminant . For example, the class number of the ring of integers of the number field is equal to 3 since there are three reduced binary quadratic forms of discriminant , namely , , and . An inefficient way to compute the class number of the unique order of the quadratic number field with discriminant is to count the number of reduced binary quadratic forms with discriminant .

Some fairly sophisticated mathematics shows that the class number for discriminant can be given by the class number formula

(2)

where is the Kronecker symbol, is the fundamental unit, is the number of substitutions which leave the binary quadratic form unchanged

(3)

and the sums are taken over all terms where the Kronecker symbol is defined (Cohn 1980). The class number for can also be written

(4)

for , where the product is taken over terms for which the Kronecker symbol is defined.

The class number is related to the Dirichlet L-series by

(5)

where is the Dirichlet structure constant.

Oesterlé (1985) showed that class number satisfies the inequality

(6)

for , where is the floor function, the product is over primes dividing , and the indicates that the greatest prime factor of is omitted from the product. It is also known that if is relatively prime to 5077, then the denominator 7000 in (6) can be replaced by 55.

Gauss's class number problem asks to determine a complete list of fundamental binary quadratic form discriminants such that the class number is given by for a given . This problem has been solved for and odd . Gauss conjectured that the class number of an imaginary quadratic field with binary quadratic form discriminant tends to infinity with , an assertion now known as Gauss's class number conjecture.

The negated discriminants corresponding to imaginary quadratic fields are 3, 4, 7, 8, 11, 15, 19, 20, 23, 24, 31, 35, 39, 40, 43, ... (OEIS A003657), which have corresponding class numbers , 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 2, 3, 2, 4, 2, 1, ... (OEIS A006641).

The complete set of negative discriminants having class numbers 1-5 and odd 7-23 are known. Buell (1977) gives the smallest and largest class numbers for fundamental discriminants with , partitioned into even discriminants, discriminants 1 (mod 8), and discriminants 5 (mod 8). Arno et al. (1993) give complete lists of values of fundamental with for odd , 7, 9, ..., 23. Wagner (1996) gives complete lists of values for , 6, and 7. Lists of negative fundamental discriminants corresponding to imaginary quadratic fields having small class numbers are given in the table below. In the table, is the number of fundamental values of with a given class number , where "fundamental" means that is not divisible by any square number such that . For example, although , is not a fundamental discriminant since and . Even values have been computed by Weisstein.

The following table lists the fundamental discriminants having class numbers (Cohen 1993, pp. 229 and 514-515; Cox 1997, p. 271). The search was terminated at 50000, 70000, 90000, and 90000 for class numbers 18, 20, 22, and 24, respectively. As far as I know, analytic upper bounds are not currently known for these cases.

The number of negative discriminants having class number 1, 2, 3, ... are 9, 18, 16, 54, 25, 51, 31, ... (OEIS A046125). The largest negative discriminants having class numbers 1, 2, 3, ... are 163, 427, 907, 1555, 2683, ... (OEIS A038552).

The discriminants corresponding to real quadratic fields are 5, 8, 12, 13, 17, 21, 24, 28, 29, 33, 37, 40, 41, 44, 53, ... (OEIS A003658), corresponding to class numbers , 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 1, ... (OEIS A003652).

The table below gives lists of the first few positive fundamental discriminants having small class numbers , corresponding to real quadratic fields, augmenting the table of Cohn (1980, pp. 271-274) by including terms divisible by 4 (Cohen 1993, pp. 516-519; Cohen 2000, pp. 534-537). In fact, the discriminant of all quadratic number fields is squarefree except for a possible factor of 4.
