Divisibility of class numbers of non-normal totally real cubic number fields

Abstract

In this paper, we consider a family of cubic fields $\{K_m\}_{m\geq4}$ associated to the irreducible cubic polynomials $P_m(x)=x^3-mx^2-(m+1)x-1,\,\,\,(m\geq4).$ We prove that there are infinitely many $\{K_m\}_{m\geq4}$'s whose class numbers are divisible by a given integer n. From this, we find that there are infinitely many non-normal totally real cubic fields with class number divisible by any given integer n.
