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 $\mathbb{Z}_2$-extension of some special Dirichlet fields. The capitulation problem is investigated too.
Let $d$ be an odd square-free integer, $m\geq 3$ any integer and $L_{m, d}:=\mathbb{Q}(ζ_{2^m},\sqrt{d})$. In this paper, we shall determine all the fields $L_{m, d}$ having an odd class number. Furthermore, using the cyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_2$-extensions of some number fields, we compute the rank of the $2$-class group of $L_{m, d}$ whenever the prime divisors of $d$ are congruent to $3$ or $5\pmod 8$.
Let $d$ be an odd square-free integer and $ζ_8$ a primitive $8$-th root of unity. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the rank of the $2$-class group of the fields $L_d=\mathbb{Q}(ζ_8,\sqrt{d})$.
Let $d$ be a square free integer and $L_d:=\mathbb{Q}(ζ_{8},\sqrt{d})$. In the present work we determine all the fields $L_d$ such that the $2$-class group, $\mathrm{Cl}_2(L_d)$, of $L_d$ is of type $(2,4)$ or $(2,2,2)$.
In this paper, we investigate the unit groups, the $2$-class groups, the $2$-class field towers and the structures of the second $2$-class groups of some multiquadratic number fields of degree $8$ and $16$.
In this paper, we investigate the 2-rank of the class group of some real cyclic quartic number fields. Precisely, we consider the case where the quadratic subfield is Q(\sqrt{l}) with l congruent to 5 modulo 8 is a prime.
In this paper, we determine the 2-rank of the class group of certain classes of real cyclic quartic number fields. Precisely, we consider the case in which the quadratic subfield is Q(\sqrt{l}) with l=2 or a prime congruent to 1 mod 8.
Let $p$ and $q$ be two positive primes. Let $\ell$ be an odd positive prime integer and $F$ a quadratic number field. Let $K$ be an extension of $F$ such that $K$ is a dihedral extension of $\Q$ of degree $\ell$ over $F$ or $K$ is an abelian $\ell$-extension unramified over $F$ assuming $\ell$ divides the class number of $F$. In this paper, we obtain a complete characterization of division quaternion algebras $H_{K}(p, q)$ over $K$.
Let $d$ and $m$ be two distinct squarefree integers and $\mathcal{O}_K$ the ring of integers of the quadratic field $K=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d})$. Denote by $ H_K(α, m)$ a quaternion algebra over $K$, where $α\in \mathcal{O}_K$. In this paper we give necessary and sufficient conditions for $ H_K(α, m)$ to split over $K$ for some values of $α$, and we obtain a complete characterization of division quaternion algebras $ H_K(α, m)$ over $K$ whenever $α$ and $m$ are two distinct positive prime integers. Examples are given involving prime Fibonacci numbers.
We study the capitulation of $2$-ideal classes of an infinite family of imaginary biquadratic number fields consisting of fields $k =Q(\sqrt{pq_1q_2}, i)$, where $i=\sqrt{-1}$ and $q_1\equiv q_2\equiv-p\equiv-1 \pmod 4$ are different primes. For each of the three quadratic extensions $K/k$ inside the absolute genus field $k^{(*)}$ of $k$, we compute the capitulation kernel of $K/k$. Then we deduce that each strongly ambiguous class of $k/Q(i)$ capitulates already in $k^{(*)}$.
We study the capitulation of $2$-ideal classes of an infinite family of imaginary bicyclic biquadratic number fields consisting of fields $\mathbf{k} =\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{p_1p_2q}, i)$, where $i=\sqrt{-1}$ and $p_1\equiv p_2\equiv-q\equiv1 \pmod 4$ are different primes. For each of the three quadratic extensions $\mathbf{K}/\mathbf{k}$ inside the absolute genus field $\mathbf{k}^{(*)}$ of $\mathbf{k}$, we compute the capitulation kernel of $\mathbf{K}/\mathbf{k}$. Then we deduce that each strongly ambiguous class of $\mathbf{k}/\mathbb{Q}(i)$ capitulates already in $\mathbf{k}^{(*)}$, which is smaller than the relative genus field $(\mathbf{k}/\mathbb{Q}(i))^*$.
Let $p_1\equiv p_2\equiv5 \pmod8$ be prime numbers such that $\left(\frac{p_1}{p_2}\right)=-1$. Let $\mathbb{L}=Q(\sqrt2, \sqrt{p_1p_2})$ Our goal is to resolve the equation $X^2-\varepsilon_2\varepsilon_{p_1p_2}\varepsilon_{2p_1p_2}=0$ in $\mathbb{L}$, where $\varepsilon_j$ are fundamental units of real quadratic subfields of $Q(\sqrt2, \sqrt{p_1p_2})$.
Let $p_1$ and $p_2$ be two primes such that $p_1\equiv p_2\equiv1 \pmod4$ and at least two of the three elements $\{(\frac{2}{p_1}), (\frac{2}{p_2}), (\frac{p_1}{p_2})\}$ are equal to -1. Put $i=\sqrt{-1}$, $d=2p_1p_2$ and $k =Q(\sqrt{d}, i)$. Let $k_2^{(1)}$ be the Hilbert 2-class field of $k$ and $k^{(*)}=Q(\sqrt{p_1},\sqrt{p_2},\sqrt 2, i)$ be its genus field. Let $C_{k,2}$ denote the 2-part of the class group of $k$. The unramified abelian extensions of $k$ are $K_1=k(\sqrt{p_1})$, $K_2=k(\sqrt{p_2})$, $K_3=k(\sqrt{2})$ and $k^{(*)}$. Our goal is to study the capitulation problem of the 2-classes of $k$ in these four extensions.
Let $p_1 \equiv p_2 \equiv5\pmod8$ be different primes. Put $i=\sqrt{-1}$ and $d=2p_1p_2$, then the bicyclic biquadratic field $k=Q(\sqrt{d}, \sqrt{-1})$ has an elementary abelian 2-class group of rank $3$. In this paper we determine the nilpotency class, the coclass, the generators and the structure of the non-abelian Galois group $\mathrm{Gal}(k_2^{(2)}/k)$ of the second Hilbert 2-class field $k_2^{(2)}$ of $k$. We study the capitulation problem of the 2-classes of $k$ in its seven unramified quadratic extensions $K_i$ and in its seven unramified bicyclic biquadratic extensions $L_i$.
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 is strictly included in the relative genus field $(k/Q(i))^*$ and we study the capitulation of the $2$-ideal classes of $k$ in its quadratic extensions included in $k^{(*)}$.
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 of the three quadratic extensions $K/k$ inside the absolute genus field $k^{(*)}$ of $k$, we compute the capitulation kernel of $K/k$. Then we deduce that each strongly ambiguous class of $k/Q(i)$ capitulates already in $k^{(*)}$, which is smaller than the relative genus field $\left(k/Q(i)\right)^*$.
Let $G$ be some metabelian $2$-group satisfying the condition $G/G'\simeq \mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}\times\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}\times\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$. In this paper, we construct all the subgroups of $G$ of index $2$ or $4$, we give the abelianization types of these subgroups and we compute the kernel of the transfer map. Then we apply these results to study the capitulation problem of the $2$-ideal classes of some fields $\mathbf{k}$ satisfying the condition $\mathrm{G}al(\mathbf{k}_2^{(2)}/\mathbf{k})\simeq G$, where $\mathbf{k}_2^{(2)}$ is the second Hilbert $2$-class field of $\mathbf{k}$.
Let $p_1\equiv p_2\equiv -q\equiv1 \pmod4$ be different primes such that $\displaystyle\left(\frac{2}{p_1}\right)= \displaystyle\left(\frac{2}{p_2}\right)=\displaystyle\left(\frac{p_1}{q}\right)=\displaystyle\left(\frac{p_2}{q}\right)=-1$. Put $d=p_1p_2q$ and $i=\sqrt{-1}$, then the bicyclic biquadratic field ${k}=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d},i)$ has an elementary abelian $2$-class group, $\mathbf{C}l_2(k)$, of rank $3$. In this paper, we study the principalization of the $2$-classes of ${k}$ in its fourteen unramified abelian extensions $\mathbb{K}_j$ and $\mathbb{L}_j$ within ${k}_2^{(1)}$, that is the Hilbert $2$-class field of ${k}$. We determine the nilpotency class, the coclass, generators and the structure of the metabelian Galois group $G=\mathrm{Gal}(\mathbb{L}/{k})$ of the second Hilbert 2-class field ${k}_2^{(2)}$ of ${k}$. Additionally, the abelian type invariants of the groups $\mathbf{C}l_2(\mathbb{K}_j)$ and $\mathbf{C}l_2(\mathbb{L}_j)$ and the length of the $2$-class tower of ${k}$ are given.
