Densities for 4-Class Ranks of Totally Complex Quadratic Extensions of Real Quadratic Fields

Quadratic extensions of totally real quintic fields

In this work, we establish lists for each signature of tenth degree number fields containing a totally real quintic subfield and of discriminant less than 1013 in absolute value. For each field in the list we give its discriminant, the discriminant of its subfield, a relative polynomial generating the field over one of its subfields, the corresponding polynomial over Q, and the Galois group of ...

The 4-class Group of Real Quadratic Number Fields

In this paper we give an elementary proof of results on the structure of 4-class groups of real quadratic number fields originally due to A. Scholz. In a second (and independent) section we strengthen C. Maire’s result that the 2-class field tower of a real quadratic number field is infinite if its ideal class group has 4-rank ≥ 4, using a technique due to F. Hajir.

L - Functions and Class Numbers of Imaginary Quadratic Fields and of Quadratic Extensions of an Imaginary Quadratic Field

Starting from the analytic class number formula involving its Lfunction, we first give an expression for the class number of an imaginary quadratic field which, in the case of large discriminants, provides us with a much more powerful numerical technique than that of counting the number of reduced definite positive binary quadratic forms, as has been used by Buell in order to compute his class ...

Class Groups of Quadratic Fields

The author has computed the class groups of all complex quadratic number fields Q(\f^~D) °f discriminant D for 0 < D < 4000000. In so doing, it was found that the first occurrences of rank three in the 3-Sylow subgroup are D = 3321607 = prime, class group C(3) x C(3) x C(9.7) (C(n) a cyclic group of order n), and D = 3640387 = 421.8647, class group C(3) X C(3) X C(9.2). The author has also foun...
