Ray class invariants over imaginary quadratic fields

Number Theory 2011-01-28 v2

Abstract

Let KK be an imaginary quadratic field of discriminant less than or equal to -7 and K(N)K_{(N)} be its ray class field modulo NN for an integer NN greater than 1. We prove that singular values of certain Siegel functions generate K(N)K_{(N)} over KK by extending the idea of our previous work. These generators are not only the simplest ones conjectured by Schertz, but also quite useful in the matter of computation of class polynomials. We indeed give an algorithm to find all conjugates of such generators by virtue of Gee and Stevenhagen.
