Tables of class numbers of cyclotomic fields
Does anyone have a table of the class numbers ($h_n$) of cyclotomic fields (upto say, n = 250-300 for $\mathbb Q(\mu_n)$)?
I can find tables for the relative class number ($h_n^-$) in various places ...

Easy cases of Herbrand's theorem
$\def\QQ{\mathbb{Q}}\def\ZZ{\mathbb{Z}}$ I recall Herbrand's theorem about class groups of cyclotomic fields: Let $p$ be an odd prime, let $\zeta$ be a primitive $p$-th root of $1$ and let $K = \QQ(\...

Computing the relative class group (with Galois action) of relatively large cyclotomic groups
For a cyclotomic field $K = \mathbb Q(\zeta_n)$, let $K^+$ be its maximal totally real subfield. We know that $H^+ = Cl(K^+)$ injects into $H = Cl(K)$. I am interested in computing the group $H/H^+$ ...

Class numbers of cyclotomic fields and their maximal totally real subfields
Let $\zeta_p$ be a $p$-th root of unity for a prime $p$, let $L:=\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_p)$ and $K$ the maximal totally real subfield of $L$, i.e. $K:=\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_p+\zeta_p^{-1})$. I am trying to prove ...

relating class number and narrow class number of a real field
I am interested in finding out when the narrow class number of $\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_p+\zeta_p^{-1})$ is the same as the class number of $\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_p+\zeta_p^{-1})$ where $\zeta_p$ is a primitive $...

class group size of cyclotomic field subextension
In the following, let $\mathbb{Q_1}$ denote the subfield of degree $p$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ in the $p^2$- cyclotomic extension.
What is the best known upper bound for the size of its class group, $\text{...

Is there a pure algebraic proof of the problem about class number of imaginary quadratic field $p\nmid h_{\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-p})}?$
For $p\equiv3\pmod4$, let $h_{\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-p})}$ denote the class number of $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-p})$, the class number formula shows $h_{\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-p})} < p$. I wonder if there is a pure ...

Narrow class number of a the maximal totally real number field inside a cyclotomic field
I am wondering how much it is known about the narrow class number of the number field $\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_p+\zeta_p^{-1})$ ($p$ an odd prime). More precisely, I am interested to know when it is odd.
By ...

Definition of Euler system of cyclotomic units
I am not sure about my understanding of Euler system of cyclotomic unit. This is what I have learnt:
Let $F=\mathbb{Q}(\mu_m)$.
Let $\mathcal{I}(m)$ = {positive square free integers divisible only by ...
