On Hasse's Unit Index

Number Theory 2020-01-22 v1

Abstract

We study the distribution of Hasse's unit index Q(L)Q(L) for the CM-fields L=Q(d,1)L = \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d}, \sqrt{-1}) as dd varies among positive squarefree integers. We prove that the number of dXd\leq X such that Q(L)=2Q(L) = 2 is proportional to X/logXX/\sqrt{\log X}.
