The Euler--Kronecker constant of a number field $K$ is the ratio of the constant and the residue of the Laurent series of the Dedekind zeta function $\zeta_K(s)$ at $s=1$. We study the distribution of the Euler--Kronecker constant…

The Euler-Mascheroni constant $\gamma=0.5772\dots\!$ is the $K=\mathbb{Q}$ example of an Euler-Kronecker constant $\gamma_K$ of a number field $K.$ In this note we consider the size of the $\gamma_q=\gamma_{K_q}$ for cyclotomic fields…

Let $\zeta_q$ be a primitive $q^{\text{th}}$ root of unity with $q$ an arbitrary odd prime. The ratio of Kummer's first factor of the class number of the cyclotomic number field $\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_q)$ and its expected order of magnitude (a…

This appendix to the beautiful paper of Ihara puts it in the context of infinite global fields of our papers. We study the behaviour of Euler--Kronecker constant $\gamma\_{K}$ when the discriminant (respectively, the genus) tends to…

We introduce a new algorithm, which is faster and requires less computing resources than the ones previously known, to compute the Euler-Kronecker constants $\mathfrak{G}_q$ for the prime cyclotomic fields $\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_q)$, where $q$…

For a fixed odd prime q we investigate the first and second order terms of the asymptotic series expansion for the number of n\le x such that q does not divide phi(n). Part of the analysis involves a careful study of the Euler-Kronecker…

Kummer's conjecture predicts the asymptotic growth of the relative class number of prime cyclotomic fields. We substantially improve the known bounds of Kummer's ratio under three scenarios: no Siegel zero, presence of Siegel zero and…

The higher Euler-Kronecker constants of a number field $K$ are the coefficients in the Laurent series expansion of the logarithmic derivative of the Dedekind zeta function about $s=1$. These coefficients are mysterious and seem to contain a…

Kummer's conjecture states that the relative class number of the $p$-th cyclotomic field follows a strict asymptotic law. Granville has shown it unlikely to be true -- it cannot be true if we assume the truth of two other widely believed…

For a number field $K$, the Euler-Kronecker constant $\gamma_K$ associated to $K$ is an arithmetic invariant the size and nature of which is linked to some of the deepest questions in number theory. This theme was given impetus by Ihara who…

As a natural generalization of the Euler-Mascheroni constant $\gamma$, Y. Ihara introduced the Euler-Kronecker constant $\gamma_K$ attached to any number field $K$. In this paper, we prove that a certain bound on $\gamma_K$ in a tower of…

In 2006, Ihara defined and systematically studied a generalization of the Euler-Mascheroni constant for all global fields, named the Euler-Kronecker constants. This paper examines their distribution across geometric quadratic extensions of…

We study generalizations of some results of Jean-Louis Nicolas regarding the relation between small values of Euler's function $\varphi(n)$ and the Riemann Hypothesis. Among other things, we prove that for $1\leq q\leq 10$ and for $q=12,…

Let $p\equiv 1\,(\mathrm{mod}\,3)$ be a prime and denote by $\zeta_3$ a primitive third root of unity. Recently, Lemmermeyer presented a conjecture about $3$-class groups of pure cubic fields $L=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[3]{p})$ and of their normal…

The author has previously extended the theory of regular and irregular primes to the setting of arbitrary totally real number fields. It has been conjectured that the Bernoulli numbers, or alternatively the values of the Riemann zeta…

We compute all irregular primes less than 2^31 = 2 147 483 648. We verify the Kummer-Vandiver conjecture for each of these primes, and we check that the p-part of the class group of Q(zeta_p) has the simplest possible structure consistent…

Given a random real quadratic field from $\{ \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{p}\,) ~|~ p \text{ primes} \}$, the conjectural probability $\mathbb{P}(h=q)$ that it has class number $q$ is given for all positive odd integers $q$. Some related conjectures of…

The aim of the paper is to relate computational and arithmetic questions about Euler's constant $\gamma$ with properties of the values of the $q$-logarithm function, with natural choice of $q$. By these means, we generalize a classical…

This article deals with a study of the structure of the class group of the cyclotomic field $K=\Q(\zeta_p)$ for $p$ an odd prime number, starting from Stickelberger relation. The present state of this work leads me to set a question for all…

Let p be an odd prime. Let K_p = \Q(zeta_p) be the p-cyclotomic field. We apply a Kummer and Stickelberger relation of K_p to some singular not primary numbers A of K_p connected to p-class group of K_p and prove they verify the congruence…
