AbstractKummer's conjecture predicts the rate of growth of the relative class numbers of cyclotomic fields of prime conductor. We extend Kummer's conjecture to cyclotomic fields of conductor n, where n is any natural number. We show that the Elliott–Halberstam conjecture implies that this generalised Kummer's conjecture is true for almost all n but is false for infinitely many n.

International audience We give a brief survey of three papers of K. Ramachandra in algebraic number theory. The first paper is based on his thesis and appeared in the Annals of Mathematics and titled, ``Some Applications of Kronecker's Limit Formula.'' The second paper determines a system of fundamental units for the cyclotomic field and is titled, ``On the units of cyclotomic fields.'' This appeared in Acta Arithmetica. The third deals with relative class numbers and is titled, ``The class number of relative abelian fields.'' This appeared in Crelle's Journal.
