Project description
The class number $h$ is possibly the most important invariant of a number field. In the present project bounds for $h$ are obtained by a combination of a sieve theoretic and analytic means. One of the new features of the project is the use of higher derivatives to bound the residue of the Dedekind zeta-function.
