As an application, we show that for any odd prime p and finite set of odd primes S, there exists an imaginary quadratic field which splits at each prime in S and has class number indivisible by p. This result is in the spirit of results by Bruinier, Bhargava (when p=3) and Wiles, but the methods are completely different. This is joint work with Martin Raum and Olav Richter.URL associated with Seminar:  https://research.math.osu.edu/numbertheory/ MW 154 Department of Mathematics math@osu.edu America/New_York public
