We construct a family of ideals representing ideal classes of order 2 in quadratic number fields and show that relations between their ideal classes are governed by certain cyclic quartic extensions of the rationals.

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 adapt a known technique for searching for ideal classes of arbitrary order and then apply it to three families of number fields. We show that a family of cyclic sextic number fields has infinitely many fields in it that contain a…

We prove that all imaginary biquadratic fields and cyclic quartic fields of class number $1$ are Euclidean.

Let us consider the pure quartic fields of the form $\K=\Q(\sqrt[4]{p})$ where $0<p\equiv 7\pmod{16}$ is a prime integer. We prove that the $2$-class group of $\K$ has order $2$. As a consequence of this, if the class number of $\K$ is $2$,…

We prove a version of Hilbert's Irreducibility Theorem in the quadratic case, giving a quantitative improvement to a result of Bilu-Gillibert in this restricted setting. As an application, we give improvements to several quantitative…

Let $k$ be a number field and $G$ be a finite group. Let $\mathfrak{F}_{k}^{G}(Q)$ be the family of number fields $K$ with absolute discriminant $D_K$ at most $Q$ such that $K/k$ is normal with Galois group isomorphic to $G$. If $G$ is the…

Let $\mathds{k}$ be a real quadratic number field. Denote by $\mathrm{Cl}_2(\mathds{k})$ its $2$-class group and by $\mathds{k}_2^{(1)}$ (resp. $\mathds{k}_2^{(2)}$) its first (resp. second) Hilbert $2$-class field. The aim of this paper is…

We construct an infinite family of imaginary bicyclic biquadratic number fields $k$ with the 2-ranks of their 2-class groups are $\geq3$, whose strongly ambiguous classes of $k/Q(i)$ capitulate in the absolute genus field $k^{(*)}$, which…

The Cohen-Lenstra-Martinet Heuristics gives a prediction of the distribution of $\operatorname{Cl}_K[p^\infty]$ whne $K$ runs over $\Gamma$-fields and $p\nmid|\Gamma|$. In this paper, we prove several results on the distribution of ideal…

We formulate a model for the average behaviour of ray class groups of real quadratic fields with respect to a fixed rational modulus, locally at a finite set $S$ of odd primes. To that end, we introduce Arakelov ray class groups of a number…

In this article we show how the Dedekind-Hasse criterion may be applied to prove a simple result about quadratic number fields that usually is derived as a consequence of the theory of ideals and ideal classes.

The P\'{o}lya group $Po(K)$ of an algebraic number field $K$ is the subgroup of the ideal class group $Cl_{K}$ generated by the ideal classes of the products of prime ideals of the same norm. If $Po(K)$ is trivial, then the number field $K$…

We show that the S-Euclidean minimum of an ideal class is a rational number, generalizing a result of Cerri. We also give some corollaries which explain the relationship of our results with Lenstra's notion of a norm-Euclidean ideal class…

We prove a generalization of the Davenport-Heilbronn theorem to quotients of ideal class groups of quadratic fields by the primes lying above a fixed set of rational primes $S$. Additionally, we obtain average sizes for the relaxed Selmer…

We give a new general technique for constructing and counting number fields with an ideal class group of nontrivial m-rank. Our results can be viewed as providing a way of specializing the Picard group of a variety V over $\mathbb{Q}$ to…

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 $K$…

We study the capitulation of ideal classes in an infinite family of imaginary bicyclic biquadratic number fields consisting of fields $k =Q(\sqrt{2pq}, i)$, where $i=\sqrt{-1}$ and $p\equiv -q\equiv1 \pmod 4$ are different primes. For each…

Let T be a triangulated category, A a graded abelian category and h: T -> A a homology theory on T with values in A. If the functor h reflects isomorphisms, is full and is such that for any object x in A there is an object X in T with an…
