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.
