Abstract
We know already that the ring A of integers of an algebraic number field K need not be a principal ideal domain. In this chapter, we associate with every field K a numerical invariant h, which measures the extent to which A deviates from being a principal ideal domain. h will be equal to 1 if and only if A is a principal ideal domain.
