Abstract
We investigate the number of imaginary quadratic fields with class number . We establish an asymptotic formula for the average value of . We also establish a modest non-trivial upper bound for and give an application to a question of Rosen and Silverman on the odd part of the class number. Finally, we speculate on the asymptotic nature of .
