Kummer–Vandiver conjecture
Let be an odd prime, let be a primitive -th root of unity, and let
be the maximal real subfield of the -th cyclotomic field . Let denote the class number of , i.e. the order of the ideal class group of the ring of integers of ; equivalently, is the second factor in the decomposition of the class number of , where and .
Then
for every odd prime .
