LetGm/H be a factor group of the prime residue groupGm = (ℤ/mℤ)x. We introduce theb-division vectorT(b), which contains important data on the distribution of the integersk, 1 ≤k ≤m, (k, m) = 1, amongst the classesC ε Gm/H. Of particuar interest are the euclideanlength ofT(b) and thesigns of its components. First we express certain class number factors of abelian subfields of them-th cyclotomic field in terms ofT(b). These expressions can be used as class number formulas, but we are more interested in the converse question: What is the influence of the said class number factors onT(b), in particular, on ‖T(b)‖? Much information about this influence is contained in thenorm manifold ℒ. This manifold is a family of euclidean tori, which we study in detail. In some cases ℒ. is compact, which means that class number factors determine the length ofT(b) completely. In the remaining cases ℒ. supplies a lower bound for ‖T(b)‖ only. We obtain some insight into the quality of this lower bound by means of the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis. Moreover, we show that the connection ofT(b) with class number factors yields interesting facts about the signs of the components ofT(b) and is helpful in actual computations.
