On the class numbers of real cyclotomic fields of conductor pq

Eleni Agathocleous (2014)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

The class numbers h⁺ of the real cyclotomic fields are very hard to compute. Methods based on discriminant bounds become useless as the conductor of the field grows, and methods employing Leopoldt's decomposition of the class number become hard to use when the field extension is not cyclic of prime power. This is why other methods have been developed, which approach the problem from different angles. In this paper we extend one of these methods that was designed for real cyclotomic fields...

Kronecker-Weber via Stickelberger

Franz Lemmermeyer (2005)

Similarity:

In this note we give a new proof of the theorem of Kronecker-Weber based on Kummer theory and Stickelberger’s theorem.

Annihilators of the class group of a compositum of quadratic fields

Jan Herman (2013)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

This paper is devoted to a construction of new annihilators of the ideal class group of a tamely ramified compositum of quadratic fields. These annihilators are produced by a modified Rubin’s machinery. The aim of this modification is to give a stronger annihilation statement for this specific type of fields.

The class number one problem for some non-abelian normal CM-fields of degree 24

F. Lemmermeyer, S. Louboutin, R. Okazaki (1999)

Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux

Similarity:

We determine all the non-abelian normal CM-fields of degree 24 with class number one, provided that the Galois group of their maximal real subfields is isomorphic to 𝒜 4 , the alternating group of degree 4 and order 12 . There are two such fields with Galois group 𝒜 4 × 𝒞 2 (see Theorem 14) and at most one with Galois group SL 2 ( 𝔽 3 ) (see Theorem 18); if the generalized Riemann hypothesis is true, then this last field has class number 1 .

A survey of computational class field theory

Henri Cohen (1999)

Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux

Similarity:

We give a survey of computational class field theory. We first explain how to compute ray class groups and discriminants of the corresponding ray class fields. We then explain the three main methods in use for computing an equation for the class fields themselves: Kummer theory, Stark units and complex multiplication. Using these techniques we can construct many new number fields, including fields of very small root discriminant.
