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

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.

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.

For each finite subgroup [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text], and for each integer [Formula: see text] coprime to [Formula: see text], we construct explicitly infinitely many Galois extensions of [Formula: see text] with group [Formula: see text] and whose ideal class group has [Formula: see text]-rank at least [Formula: see text]. This gives new [Formula: see text]-rank records for class groups of number fields.

AbstractWe describe how to compute the ideal class group and the unit group of an order in a number field in subexponential time. Our method relies on the generalized Riemann hypothesis and other usual heuristics concerning the smoothness of ideals. It applies to arbitrary classes of number fields, including those for which the degree goes to infinity.

Given a non-isotrivial elliptic curve over [Formula: see text] with large Mordell–Weil rank, we explain how one can build, for suitable small primes [Formula: see text], infinitely many fields of degree [Formula: see text] whose ideal class group has a large [Formula: see text]-torsion subgroup. As an example, we show the existence of infinitely many cubic fields whose ideal class group contains a subgroup isomorphic to [Formula: see text].

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.

AbstractLet m = pe be a power of a prime number p. We say that a number field F satisfies the property when for any a ∈ F×, the cyclic extension F(ζm, a1/m)/F(ζm) has a normal p-integral basis. We prove that F satisfies if and only if the natural homomorphism is trivial. Here K = F(ζm), and denotes the ideal class group of F with respect to the p-integer ring of F.

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.
