Determination of totally imaginary cyclic quartic fields with ideal class group of exponent \(\leq 2\) (Q1313300): Difference between revisions

Let \(K\) be an imaginary cyclic quartic field. Let \(H(K)\) denote the ideal class group of \(K\), and let \(h(K)= \text{card } H(K)\). The author shows that there are precisely 33 fields \(K\) with exponent 1 or 2. It is the reviewer's opinion that the author fails to acknowledge sufficiently the work of previous authors in the area. For example, \textit{B. Setzer} [Math. Comput. 35, 1383-1386 (1980; Zbl 0455.12004)] has determined all such \(K\) with \(h(K)=1\). This is not mentioned. Neither is the determination of all such \(K\) with \(h(K)=2\) by \textit{K. Hardy}, \textit{R. H. Hudson}, \textit{D. Richman} and \textit{K. S. Williams} [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 311, 1-55 (1989; Zbl 0678.12003)].
