Extract

We shall establish here a new relation between the classnumber h of an algebraic number field K and the signature of its group of units Y.

Write dim2(A) for the number of even invariants of a finite Abelian group A. Denote by C the absolute classgroup of K (ideals modulo principal ideals), and by P the quotient group of principal ideals modulo totally positive principal ideals.
