We establish asymptotic formulae for the number of biquadratic number fields of bounded discriminant that can be embedded into a quaternionic or a dihedral extension. To prove these results, we express the solvability of these inverse…
In this paper, we obtain an asymptotic formula for the number of imaginary quadratic fields with prime discriminant and class number up to $H$, as $H\to \infty$. Previously, such an asymptotic was only known under the assumption of the…
We investigate the number ${\Cal F}(h)$ of imaginary quadratic fields with class number $h$. We establish an asymptotic formula for the average value of ${\Cal F}(h)$. We also establish a modest non-trivial upper bound for ${\Cal F}(h)$ and…

In this paper, we construct certain infinite families of imaginary quadratic fields whose class number is divisible by a given positive integer.
We prove an asymptotic formula for class numbers of totlally imaginary quartic number fields, ie for number fields of degree 4 over Q with only complex embeddings. After previous work for real quadratic fields (Sarnak) and complex cubic…

A formula for the class number $h$ of the imaginary quadratic field $Q(\sqrt{-p}$ is obtained by counting on a specific way the quadratic residues of a prime number of the form $p=4n-1.$ Formulas for the sum of the quadratic residues are…
It is shown that the class number for negative discriminant $D$ can be expressed in terms of the base $B$ expansions of reduced fractions $\frac{x}{|D|}$, where $B$ is an integer prime to $D$. This result is then formulated to obtain…
We show how to construct unramified qoaternion extensions of quadratic number fields.
Assume $x,\ y,\ n$ are positive integers and $n$ is odd. In this note, we show that the class number of the imaginary quadratic field $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{x^{2}-y^{n}})$ is divisible by $n$ for fixed $x, n$ if $\gcd(2x,y)=1$ and $y>C$ where…
In this paper we are interested in the class numbers of a family of real quadratic fields for which the square roots of the discriminants have a known expansion in continued fraction. In particular we prove that $h(D)>1$, with possibly a…
Let $n$ be a squarefree positive odd integer. We will show that there exist infinitely many imaginary quadratic number fields with discriminant divisible by $n$ and-at the same time-having an element of order $n$ in the class group. We then…
Let k be an imaginary quadratic number field (with class number 1). We describe a new, essentially linear-time algorithm, to list all isomorphism classes of cubic extensions L/k up to a bound X on the norm of the relative discriminant…
Let $\mathcal{F}(h)$ be the number of imaginary quadratic fields with class number $h$. In this note, we improve the error term in Soundararajan's asymptotic formula for the average of $\mathcal{F}(h)$. Our argument leads to a similar…

We give an algebraic proof of a class number formula for dihedral extensions of number fields of degree $2q$, where $q$ is any odd integer. Our formula expresses the ratio of class numbers as a ratio of orders of cohomology groups of units…
