Class numbers of cyclotomic fields

In the first part of the paper we show how to construct real cyclotomic fields with large class numbers. If the GRH holds then the class number h_p⁺ of the pth real cyclotomic field satisfies h_p⁺ > p for the prime p = 11290018777. If we allow n to be composite we have, unconditionally, that $\text{h}{}_{\mathrm{n}}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{> n}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>3</mtext><mtext>2</mtext><mtext>\; ?\; \epsilon </mtext>}}$ for infinitely many n. In the second part of the paper we show that if l ?= 2 mod 4 and n is the product of 4 distinct primes congruent to 1 mod l, then $\text{l}\text{2}$ (l, if l is odd) divides the class number h_n⁺ of the nth cyclotomic field. If the primes are congruent to 1 mod 4l then 2l divides h_n⁺.
