Abstract

For a prime p>3p>3, let DD be the discriminant of an imaginary quadratic order with D<43p|D|< \frac{4}{\sqrt{3}}\sqrt{p}. We research the solutions of the class polynomial HD(X)H_D(X) mod pp in Fp\mathbb{F}_p if DD is not a quadratic residue in Fp\mathbb{F}_p. We also discuss the common roots of different class polynomials in Fp\mathbb{F}_p. As a result, we get a deterministic algorithm (Algorithm 3) for computing the class number of Q(p)\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-p}). The time complexity of Algorithm 3 is O(p3/4+ϵ)O(p^{3/4+\epsilon}).
