Review text

Let \({\mathbb F}_q({\mathbf X}_M)\) be the quadratic extension of \({\mathbb F}_q(x)\) given by \(y^2=M\) with \(M\in {\mathbb F}_q(x)\) a polynomial of odd degree \(2\pi+1\). The author considers average values of the number of minimal ideals of a given polynomial norm of degree \(\leq \pi\) in the order generated by \(y\) over \({\mathbb F}_q[x]\) over all discriminants \(M\) of some fixed degree \(2\pi+1\). Summing over all norms, he rediscovers a formula for the average class number earlier obtained by \textit{J. Hoffstein} and \textit{M. Rosen} in [Average values of \(L\)-series in function fields, J. Reine Angew. Math. 426, 117--150 (1992; Zbl 0754.11036)]. The author announces that similar results for average values over fundamental (squarefree) discriminants can be found in a preprint of him and \textit{Z. Chen} [Average values over fundamental discriminants in imaginary quadratic function fields; see also J. Number Theory 85, 189--200 (2000; Zbl 1003.11024)]. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0930.00039].
