Local-global principle for Witt equivalence of function fields over global fields
We examine the conditions for two algebraic function fields over global fields to be Witt equivalent. We develop a criterion solving the problem which is analogous to the local-global principle for Witt equivalence of global fields obtained by R. Perlis, K. Szymiczek, P. E. Conner and R. Litherland [12]. Subsequently, we derive some immediate consequences of this result. In particular we show that Witt equivalence of algebraic function fields (that have rational places) over global fields implies...

Lower bounds on the class number of algebraic function fields defined over any finite field
We give lower bounds on the number of effective divisors of degree with respect to the number of places of certain degrees of an algebraic function field of genus defined over a finite field. We deduce lower bounds for the class number which improve the Lachaud - Martin-Deschamps bounds and asymptotically reaches the Tsfasman-Vladut bounds. We give examples of towers of algebraic function fields having a large class number.
