In this paper, we investigate the 2-rank of the class group of some real cyclic quartic number fields. Precisely, we consider the case where the quadratic subfield is Q(\sqrt{l}) with l congruent to 5 modulo 8 is a prime.

Given an odd representation of the absolute Galois group of Q onto PGL(2,3) and a positive integer N, there exists a twisted modular curve defined over Q whose rational points classify the quadratic Q-curves of degree N realizing the…

Let p be a prime and K be a number field with non-trivial p-class group Cl(p,K). A crucial step in identifying the Galois group G=G(p,K) of the maximal unramified pro-p extension of K is to determine its two-stage approximation M=G(p,2,K),…

The $p$-group generation algorithm from computational group theory is used to obtain information about large quotients of the pro-2 group $G = \text{Gal} (k^{nr,2}/k)$ for $k = \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d})$ with $d = -445, -1015, -1595, -2379$. In…

Let F be a number field and p be a prime. In the Successive Approximation Theorem, we prove that, for each positive integer n, finitely many candidates for the Galois group G(p,n,F) of the n-th stage F(p,n) of the p-class tower…

Using the quaternionic formalism for the description of the group of isometries of hyperbolic $5$-space we consider arithmetically defined $5$-dimensional hyperbolic manifolds which are non-compact but of finite volume. They arise from…

We generalize Schoof's theorem in 1986 and apply this to construct a class of Kummer extensions of the cyclotomic fields with infinite class tower. As an application, we give some number fields with a small root discriminant, which has an…

We construct a family of quartic polynomials with cyclic Galois group and show that the roots of the polynomials are fundamental units or generate a subgroup of index 5.

We determine some properties of the narrow 2-class field tower of those real quadratic number fields whose discriminants are not a sum of two squares and for which their 2-class groups are elementary of order $4$. Here in Part I, we…

In this paper, the $H\mathbb Z$-length of different groups is studied. By definition, this is the length of $H\mathbb Z$-localization tower or the length of transfinite lower central series of $H\mathbb Z$-localization. It is proved that,…

The structure of the Galois group of the maximal unramified p-extension of an imaginary quadratic field is restricted in various ways. In this paper we construct a family of finite 3-groups satisfying these restrictions. We prove several…

We determine the maximum number of induced copies of a 5-cycle in a graph on $n$ vertices for every $n$. Every extremal construction is a balanced iterated blow-up of the 5-cycle with the possible exception of the smallest level where for…

For a Galois extension $K/F$ with $\text{char}(K)\neq 2$ and $\text{Gal}(K/F) \simeq \mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}\oplus\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$, we determine the $\mathbb{F}_2[\text{Gal}(K/F)]$-module structure of $K^\times/K^{\times 2}$. Although…

Infinitely many large Schur sigma-groups G with non-elementary bicyclic commutator quotient G/G' = C(3^e) x C(3), e >= 2, are constructed as periodic sequences of vertices in descendant trees of finite 3-groups. A single root gives rise to…
