of a number field is the group of fractional ideals in the ring of integers in the field modulo principal ideals. The cardinality of the group is called the class number of the number field. It measures the extent of the failure of unique

is an extension of the class field theory (which is about abelian extensions of number fields) to non-abelian extensions; or at least the idea of such a theory. The non-abelian theory does not exist in a definitive form

is a prime number that is 2 less or 2 more than another prime number. For example, 7 is a twin prime, since it is prime and 5 is also prime.
