Review text

Let \(K\) be an imaginary abelian number field of conductor \(m\). The relative class number \(h_K^\ast\) of \(K\) is \[ h_K^\ast=Q_Kw_K\prod_\chi(2f(\chi))^{-1}\sum_{a=1}^{f(\chi)} (-\chi(a)a), \] where \(Q_K\) is the unit index of \(K\) and \(w_K\) is the number of roots of unity in \(K\). The product is taken over all odd primitive characters \(\chi\) of \(K\). Several ways of representing the product by a determinant are known. The authors objective is to apply the \(b\)-division vector introduced by \textit{K. Girstmair} [Abh. Math. Semin. Univ. Hamb. 67, 65-104 (1997; Zbl 0889.11032)] in order to give a unified treatment of the Maillet and Demyanenko determinants. This is achieved by taking \(b=m+1\) or \(b=2\), respectively.
