Iterated ring class fields and the 168-tesselation (Q802603): Difference between revisions

In an earlier work [Math. Ann. 255, 107-122 (1981; Zbl 0437.12010)] the author showed how Klein's various parametrizations of the modular equation could be used to iteratively construct ring class fields of discriminant \(d=d_ 0b^{2t}\) \((<0)\) for \(b=2,3,4,5\). These cases correspond to Euclid's regular polyhedra (of genus 0). Here the author completes the work for \(b=7\), possibly the last case for which an explicit formulation is possible. It corresponds to the 168-tesselation and Klein's curve of genus 3.
