Class Numbers of Orders in Quartic Fields

Number Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We prove an asymptotic formula for class numbers of totlally imaginary quartic number fields, ie for number fields of degree 4 over Q with only complex embeddings. After previous work for real quadratic fields (Sarnak) and complex cubic fields (Deitmar), this is the last remaining case of number fields with unit rank one.
