Let $a\geq 1$ and $n>1$ be odd integers. For a given prime $p$, we prove under certain conditions that the class groups of imaginary quadratic fields $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{a^2-4p^n})$ have a subgroup isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$. We…
We introduce a zeta function counting imaginary quadratic number fields by their class numbers. It is proved that such a function is rational depending only on the eight roots of unity of degrees $1$ and $2$. As a corollary, one gets a…
This article is the first in a series devoted to computing the class groups of real quadratic fields. We present a new relation between the class number and the index of unit groups. This relation generalizes Hilbert class field theory for…
We prove that for any given positive integer $\ell$ there are infinitely many imaginary quadratic fields with 2-class group of type $(2,2^\ell)$, and provide a lower bound for the number of such groups with bounded discriminant for…

We investigate improvements to the algorithm for the computation of ideal class groups described by Jacobson in the imaginary quadratic case. These improvements rely on the large prime strategy and a new method for performing the linear…
We prove that there are >>X^{1/30}/(log X) imaginary quadratic number fields with an ideal class group of 3-rank at least 5 and discriminant bounded in absolute value by X. This improves on an earlier result of Craig, who proved the…
Let $n>1$ be an odd integer. We prove that there are infinitely many imaginary quadratic fields of the form $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{x^2-2y^n})$ whose ideal class group has an element of order $n$. This family gives a counter example to a…
We present the first algorithm for computing class groups and unit groups of arbitrary number fields that provably runs in probabilistic subexponential time, assuming the Extended Riemann Hypothesis (ERH). Previous subexponential algorithms…
We study Euclidean ideal classes in real biquadratic fields and obtain unconditional existence results via genus theory. Lenstra showed (assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis) that a number field with unit rank at least one admits a…
Let $K$ be a field of degree $n$ and discriminant with absolute value $\Delta$. Under the assumption of the validity of the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, we provide a new algorithm to compute a set of generators of the class group of $K$…
Let $D<0$ be a fundamental discriminant and denote by $E(D)$ the exponent of the ideal class group $\text{Cl}(D)$ of $K={\mathbb Q}(\sqrt{D})$. Under the assumption that no Siegel zeros exist we compute all such $D$ with $E(D)$ is a divisor…
Given an odd prime $\ell$ and finite set of odd primes $S_+$, we prove the existence of an imaginary quadratic field whose class number is indivisible by $\ell$ and which splits at every prime in $S_+$. Notably, we do not require that $p…
We construct an infinite family of imaginary quadratic number fields with 2-class groups of type (2,2,2) whose Hilbert 2-class fields are finite.
We prove that there are $\gg\frac{X^{\frac{1}{3}}}{(\log X)^2}$ imaginary quadratic fields $k$ with discriminant $|d_k|\leq X$ and an ideal class group of $5$-rank at least $2$. This improves a result of Byeon, who proved the lower bound…
Fix a number field $k$, integers $\ell, n \geq 2$, and a prime $p$. For all $r \geq 1$, we prove strong unconditional upper bounds on the $r$-th moment of $\ell$-torsion in the ideal class groups of degree $p$ extensions of $k$ and of…
We study a form of refined class number formula (resp. type number formula) for maximal orders in totally definite quaternion algebras over real quadratic fields, by taking into consideration the automorphism groups of right ideal classes…

We present improvements to the index-calculus algorithm for the computation of the ideal class group and regulator of a real quadratic field. Our improvements consist of applying the double large prime strategy, an improved structured…
