Es sei \(p\) eine ungerade Primzahl, für ein zu \(p\) primes \(r\) sei \(R(r)\equiv r \pmod p\) mit \(0 < R (r) < p\), und nach Maillet \(D_p = \vert R(r s')\vert\), \(1\le r, s \le (p-1)/2\), wobei \(ss'\equiv 1\pmod p\) ist. Maillet fragte, ob \(D_p\ne 0\) für alle \(p\) sei. Verff. bejahen diese Frage, indem sie nun zeigen, daß \(D_p = \pm p^{(p-3)/2} h\) ist, wobei \(h\) den ersten Faktor der Klassenzahl des durch \(e^{2\pi i/p}\) erzeugten Kreiskörpers bedeutet. (Am Ende der Note aber wird bemerkt, daß dasselbe Resultat schon vor Jahren von S. Chowla und A. Weil vorgelegt wurde.) Ferner werden einige verwandte Determinanten noch kurz erörtert.
Maillet's determinant, positivity, Cyclotomic extensions, Class numbers, class groups, discriminants, first factor of class number, Matrices, determinants in number theory, cyclotomic field
