Abstract

We study the 44-rank of the ideal class group of Kn:=Q(n,n)K_n := \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-n}, \sqrt{n}). Our main result is that for a positive proportion of the squarefree integers nn we have that the 44-rank of Cl(Kn)\text{Cl}(K_n) equals ω3(n)1\omega_3(n) - 1, where ω3(n)\omega_3(n) is the number of prime divisors of nn that are 33 modulo 44.
