The Gauss Class-Number Problems
In Articles 303 and 304 of his 1801 Disquisitiones Arithmeticae [Gau86], Gauss put forward several conjectures that continue to occupy us to this day. Gauss stated his conjectures in the language of binary quadratic forms (of even discriminant only, a complication that was later dispensed with). Since Dedekind’s time, these conjectures have been phrased in the language of quadratic fields. This...
متن کاملKuroda’s Class Number Formula
Let k be a number field and K/k a V4-extension, i.e., a normal extension with Gal(K/k) = V4, where V4 is Klein’s four-group. K/k has three intermediate fields, say k1, k2, and k3. We will use the symbol N i (resp. Ni) to denote the norm of K/ki (resp. ki/k), and by a widespread abuse of notation we will apply N i and Ni not only to numbers, but also to ideals and ideal classes. The unit groups ...
متن کاملThe Gauss Higher Relative Class Number Problem
Assuming the 2-adic Iwasawa main conjecture, we find all CM fields with higher relative class number at most 16: there are at least 31 and at most 34 such fields, and exactly one is not abelian. The problem of determining all imaginary quadratic fields K = Q( √ d) of small class number h(K) was first posed in Article 303 of Gauss’ Disquisitiones Arithmeticae. It would take almost 150 years of w...
متن کاملSpecial Cases of the Class Number Formula
Proof. Using that (Z/p)× is a cyclic group of order p − 1 (i.e. the existence of primitive roots), we see that there is a square root of −1 (that is, a non-trivial fourth root of 1) in (Z/p)× if and only if p ≡ 1 mod 4. Suppose now that p ≡ −1 mod 4, and suppose that α and β are two elements of Z[i] such that p|αβ. Then p = N(p)|N(α)N(β), and so (after relabelling if necessary) we may assume th...
