Abstract:
Using results of Galovich and Rosen the plus and minus factors for the class number of the cyclotomic function field associated with irreducibles of degree three and four over the field with three elements are computed. As a consequence it is shown that the analogue to a result of Kummer on the p-divisibility of these factors is false.References
