Abstract For an odd prime number p, let h−p denote the relative class number of the pth cyclotomic field . It is conjectured that h−p is odd when p is of the form p = 2ℓ + 1 with an odd prime number ℓ, and it is known that the conjecture is valid if 2 is a primitive root modulo ℓ. In this article, we handle a prime number p of the form p = 2e + 1ℓ + 1 with e ⩾ 1 and an odd prime number ℓ. For 1 ⩽ e ⩽ 4, we prove that h−p is odd whenever 2 is a primitive root modulo ℓ with the help of computer. Without the assumption on ℓ, we compute and find that, in the range e ⩾ 1, ℓ < 220 and p < 237, h−p is even only for four exceptional cases, where ℓ happened to be a Mersenne prime number. Further, computing for larger p with a Mersenne prime ℓ, we find one more exception.
