The Leading Table of Cyclic Cubic Fields (2002/04/08)
Dan (02/04/08):
Now I have completed the most extensive tables of cyclic cubic fields of all times:

(*) with all prime conductors f = q < 10^5,
(**) with all 2-prime conductors f = q1*q2 < 10^5.

They contain data for 12511 = 4785 + 6910 + 816 fields.

The method of construction has been explained in a previous communication.

This extends the computational results of ENNOLA and TURUNEN,
which were bounded by f < 16000.

1. In the first table (*) I found the following distribution of class numbers h
among these fields with 3-class rank rho = 0
with respect to conductors f in relative intervals of length 10k = 10000:

h =14713161925283137434952616467737691100103109111?112121124127128133149169171172175193208211217223229343348349363364510532688Fields

Remarks:
1. Three fields are missing from this table: f = 77587, 83383, 96847.
Here my implementation of Voronoi's algorithm determined the first unit
but ran into an infinite loop for the second unit
(unable to find an association between the Y-branch and the X-chain).
These fields will be investigated separately.
Thus the correct field counts in the last four rows are 455, 440, 446, 4785.
2. The class number h = 111 = 3*37 is a contradiction to 3-rank 0.
Here the Euler product must obviously be evaluated by using more primes.
This field (f = 31513) will be investigated separately.
Dan (02/04/23):
Seeking the second association between the Z-branch and the X-chain
yielded the regulators of the 3 missing fields without problems.
(My first idea to find other generating polynomials without quadratic term
by means of TSCHIRNHAUS transformations failed.)
Using the EULER product method, I got the missing class numbers:
h = 1 for f = 77587,
h = 4 for f = 83383,
h = 1 for f = 96847,
and the corrected class number (with primes up to 39971 instead of 9733):
h = 112 = 2^4*7 for f = 31513.
Hence, the corrected table is:
h =14713161925283137434952616467737691100103109112121124127128133149169171172175193208211217223229343348349363364510532688Fields

2. In the second table (**) we must distinguish two cases:

a) the fields with 3-class rank rho = 1
for which q1 and q2 are not cubic residues with respect to each other:

Remarks:
1. Four fields are missing from this table: f = 90961, 93367, 93733, 97183.
Here my implementation of Voronoi's algorithm determined the first unit
but ran into an infinite loop for the second unit
(unable to find an association between the Y-branch and the X-chain).
These fields will be investigated separately.
Thus the correct field counts in the last two rows are 638, 6910.
2. Further the field f = 51763 appears incorrectly in the next table
and is missing here, since its class number was calculated as h = 414 = 3^2*2*23.
Dan (02/04/24):
Seeking the second association between the Z-branch and the X-chain
(resp. between the Z-branch and the Y-chain for the particularly hard-boiled f = 97183)
yielded the regulators of the 4 missing fields without problems.
Using the EULER product method, I got the missing class numbers:
h- = 3 for f = 90961, where h+ = 12,
h+ = 12 for f = 93367, where h- = 3,
h- = 3 for f = 93733, where h+ = 183,
h- = 3 for f = 97183, where h+ = 3,
and the corrected class number (with primes up to 27449 instead of 12553):
h- = 417 = 3*139 for f = 51763, where h+ = 3.
Hence, the corrected table is:

b) the fields with 3-class rank rho = 2,
for which q1 and q2 are mutual cubic residues:

Remarks:
1. Four fields are missing from this table: f = 94087, 96091, 98557 (twice).
Here my implementation of Voronoi's algorithm determined the first unit
but ran into an infinite loop for the second unit
(unable to find an association between the Y-branch and the X-chain).
These fields will be investigated separately.
Thus the correct field counts in the last two rows are 82, 816.
2. The class number h = 414 = 3^2*2*23 is impossible,
since the class group cannot have cyclic subgroups of order 2 and 23.
Here the Euler product must obviously be evaluated by using more primes.
This field (f = 51763 = 37*1399) with 3-rank 1(!) will be investigated separately.
Dan (02/04/23):
Seeking the second association between the Z-branch and the X-chain
yielded the regulators of the 4 missing fields without problems.
Using the EULER product method, I got the missing class numbers:

h- = 36 for f = 96091, where h+ = 9,
h- = 36 and h+ = 9 for f = 98557,
