Arithmetically Equivalent Fields
Two fields are called arithmetically equivalent if they have the same Dedekind zeta function. Wieb Bosma and Bart de Smit (2002) used Gassmann triples to give some examples of pairs of non-isomorphic fields that are arithmetically equivalent. In particular some of these pairs have different class numbers, so the Dedekind zeta function of a number field does not determine its class number.

Famous quotes containing the words equivalent and/or fields:
“Accountability in friendship is the equivalent of love without strategy.”
—Anita Brookner (b. 1938)
“For my part, I would rather look toward Rutland than Jerusalem. Rutland,—modern town,—land of ruts,—trivial and worn,—not too sacred,—with no holy sepulchre, but profane green fields and dusty roads, and opportunity to live as holy a life as you can, where the sacredness, if there is any, is all in yourself and not in the place.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
