Let K be an imaginary quadratic field with class number one and let p subset of O(K) be a degree one prime ideal of norm p not dividing 6d(K). In this paper we generalize an algorithm of Schoof to compute the class numbers of ray class fields K(p) heuristically. We achieve this by using elliptic units analytically constructed by Stark and the Galois action on them given by Shimura's reciprocity law. We have discovered a very interesting phenomenon where p divides the class number of K(p). This is a counterexample to the elliptic analogue of Vandiver's conjecture.

A note on divisor class groups of degree zero of algebraic function fields over finite fields Özbudak, Ferruh (Elsevier BV, 2003-01-01) We give tight upper bounds on the number of degree one places of an algebraic function field over a finite field in terms of the exponent of a natural subgroup of the divisor class group of degree zero..

ON FINITE GALOIS STABLE ARITHMETIC GROUPS AND THEIR APPLICATIONS Khrebtova, Ekaterina S.; Malinin, Dmitry (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2008-12-01) We prove the existence and finiteness theorems for integral representations stable under Galois operation. An explicit construction of the realization fields for representations of finite groups stable under the natural operation of the Galois group is given. We also compare the representations over fields and the rings of integers, and give a quantitative result on the rarity of integral Galois stable representations. There is a series of related conjectures and applications to arithmetic algebraic geometr...
Value sets of Lattes maps over finite fields Küçüksakallı, Ömer (Elsevier BV, 2014-10-01) We give an alternative computation of the value sets of Dickson polynomials over finite fields by using a singular cubic curve. Our method is not only simpler but also it can be generalized to the non-singular elliptic case. We determine the value sets of Lattes maps over finite fields which are rational functions induced by isogenies of elliptic curves with complex multiplication.
Class groups of dihedral extensions Lemmermeyer, F (Wiley, 2005-01-01) Let L/F be a dihedral extension of degree 2p, where p is an odd prime. Let KIF and k/F be subextensions of L/F with degrees p and 2, respectively. Then we will study relations between the p-ranks of the class groups Cl(K) and Cl(k).
Some sufficient conditions for p-nilpotency of a finite group Kızmaz, Muhammet Yasir (Informa UK Limited, 2019-09-02) Let G be a finite group and let p be prime dividing . In this article, we supply some sufficient conditions for G to be p-nilpotent (see Theorem 1.2) as an extension of the main theorem of Li et al. (J. Group Theor. 20(1): 185-192, 2017).
