Tsfasman–Vladuts generalized Brauer–Siegel conjecture

Let (Ki)iN(K_i)_{i\in\mathbb{N}} be an asymptotically exact family of number fields. For each prime power qq, let ϕq\phi_q denote the corresponding asymptotic parameter, and let ϕR\phi_{\mathbb{R}} and ϕC\phi_{\mathbb{C}} denote the asymptotic parameters for real and complex places. Write h(Ki)h(K_i) for the class number, R(Ki)R(K_i) for the regulator, and Δ(Ki)\Delta(K_i) for the discriminant.

Tsfasman–Vladuts conjecture. One has

limilog(h(Ki)R(Ki))logΔ(Ki)=1+qϕqlogqq1ϕRlog2ϕClog(2π),\lim_{i\to\infty}\frac{\log\big(h(K_i) \, R(K_i)\big)}{\log\sqrt{|\Delta(K_i)|}} = 1+\sum_q \phi_q\log\frac{q}{q-1}-\phi_{\mathbb{R}}\log 2-\phi_{\mathbb{C}}\log (2\pi),

where the sum on the right runs over all prime powers. This conjecture extends the classical Brauer–Siegel theorem by removing the bounded-degree hypothesis and describes the asymptotic behavior of class numbers and regulators in asymptotically exact families; the notation and convergence hypotheses are part of the Tsfasman–Vladuts framework.
