| Abstract: Following Ihara, we define an invariant $g(K)$ for each algebraic number field which for the rational numbers is Euler's constant and for imaginary quadratic fields is a constant studied by Kronecker. This invariant reflects subtle aspects of the arithmetic of the field, and also is (conjecturally) related to periods of Abelian varieties with complex multiplication. |
