Abstract
Let us consider the pure quartic fields of the form where is a prime integer. We prove that the -class group of has order . As a consequence of this, if the class number of is , then the Hilbert class field of is \H_\K=\K(\sqrt{2}). Finally, we find a criterion to decide if an ideal of the ring of integers or is principal or non-principal.
