In this paper, we study the length of the $2$-class field towers and the structure of the Galois groups $\mathrm{Gal}(\mathcal{L}(K_n)/K_n)$ of the maximal unramified $2$-extensions of the layers $K_n$ of the cyclotomic…

Groups of order $4$ are isomorphic to either $\mathbb{Z}/4\mathbb{Z}$ or $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z} \times \mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$. We give certain sufficient conditions permitting to specify the structure of class groups of order $4$ in the…

In this paper we give an elementary proof of results on the structure of 4-class groups of real quadratic number fields originally due to A. Scholz. In a second (and independent) section we strengthen C. Maire's result that the 2-class…
