Abstract

For L/KL/K a finite Galois extension of number fields, the relative P\'olya group \Po(L/K)\Po(L/K) coincides with the group of strongly ambiguous ideal classes in L/KL/K. In this paper, using a well known exact sequence related to \Po(L/K)\Po(L/K), in the works of Brumer-Rosen and Zantema, we find short proofs for some classical results in the literatur. Then we define the ``Ostrowski quotient'' \Ost(L/K)\Ost(L/K) as the cokernel of the capitulation map into \Po(L/K)\Po(L/K), and generalize some known results for \Po(L/Q)\Po(L/\mathbb{Q}) to \Ost(L/K)\Ost(L/K).
