Abstract

Let us consider the pure quartic fields of the form \K=\Q(p4)\K=\Q(\sqrt[4]{p}) where 0<p7(mod16)0<p\equiv 7\pmod{16} is a prime integer. We prove that the 22-class group of \K\K has order 22. As a consequence of this, if the class number of \K\K is 22, then the Hilbert class field of \K\K is \H_\K=\K(\sqrt{2}). Finally, we find a criterion to decide if an ideal of the ring of integers or \K\K is principal or non-principal.
