Abstract
|
The Brauer–Siegel theorem concerns the size of the product
of the class number and the regulator of a number field
. We derive bounds for
this product in case
is a prime cyclotomic field, distinguishing between whether there is a Siegel zero or
not. In particular, we make a result of Tatuzawa (1953) more explicit. Our theoretical
advancements are complemented by numerical illustrations that are consistent with
our findings.
