It is a classical result, deriving from the Gaussian theory of genera of integral binary quadratic forms, that there exist only finitely many imaginary quadratic fields for which the ideal class group is a group of exponent two. This finiteness has been shown to extend to all those totally imaginary quadratic extensions of any fixed totally real algebraic number field. In this paper we put forward the conjecture that there exist only finitely many imaginary abelian algebraic number fields which have ideal class groups of exponent two, and we examine the extent to which existing methods can be brought to bear on this conjecture. One consequence of the validity of the conjecture would be a proof of the existence of finite abelian groups which do not occur as the ideal class group of any imaginary abelian field.

In the first part of the present paper, we shall make some simple observations on the ideal class groups of algebraic number fields, following the group-theoretical method of Tschebotarew. The applications on cyclotomic fields (Theorems 5, 6) may be of some interest. In the last section, we shall give a proof to a theorem of Kummer on the ideal class group of a cyclotomic field.

AbstractThis is about results on certain regular graphs that yield information about the structure of the ideal class group of quadratic number fields associated with these graphs. Some of the results can be formulated in terms of the quadratic forms x2 + 27y2, x2 + 32y2, x2 + 64y2.

Let K be a Galois extension of an algebraic number field k of finite degree with Galois group g. Then g acts on a congruent ideal class group of K as a group of automorphisms, when the class field M over K corresponding to is normal over K. Let Ig be the augmentation ideal of the group ring Zg over the ring of integers Z, namely Ig be the ideal of Zg generated by σ − 1, σ running over all elements of g. Then is the group of all elements aσ-1 where a and σ belong to and g respectively.

Let Q be the rational number field, K/Q be a finite Galois extension with the Galois group G, and let CK be the ideal class group of K in the wider sense. We consider CK as a G-module. Denote by I the augmentation ideal of the group ring of G over the ring of rational integers. Then CK/I(CK) is called the central ideal class group of K, which is the maximal factor group of CK on which G acts trivially. A. Fröhlich [3, 41 rationally determined the central ideal class group of a complete Abelian field over Q whose degree is some power of a prime. The proof is based on Theorems 3 and 4 of Fröhlich [2]. D. Garbanati [6] recently gave an algorithm which will produce the l-invariants of the central ideal class group of an Abelian extension over Q for each prime l dividing its order.

For prime l we study the structure of the 2-part of the ideal class group Cl of ℚ(ζl). We prove that Cl ⊗ ℤ2) is a cyclic Galois module for all l < 10000 with one exception and compute the explicit structure in several cases.

AbstractAn upper bound is given for the order of the kernel of the map on Sideal class groups that is induced by For some special types of number fields F the connection between the size of the above kernel for and the units and norms in are examined. Let K2(O) denote the Milnor K-group of the ring of integers of a number field. In some cases a formula by Conner, Hurrelbrink and Kolster is extended to show how closely the 4-rank of is related to the 4-rank of the S-ideal class group of
