Abstract: Let $p$ be an odd prime number, $D_p$ be the dihedral group of order $2p$, $h_p$ and $h_p^{+}$ be the class numbers of $$ and $$ respectively. Theorem. $h_p^{+}=1$ if and only if, for any field $k$ admitting a $D_p$-extension, all the algebraic $D_p$-tori over $k$ are stably rational. A similar result for $h_p=1$ and $C_p$-tori is valid also.
