      It is an old unsolved problem going back to Euler and his numeri idonei to find all imaginary quadratic number fields with one class per genus. \textit{I. Miyada} [Manuscr. Math. 88, No. 4, 535-540 (1995; Zbl 0851.11061)] recently proved that there are only finitely many complex fields with Galois groups of exponent 2 and one class per genus; in the paper under review, the author shows that this result is true for all complex abelian extensions of \(\mathbb{Q}\). He also remarks that those fields with degree \(\geq 6\) can in principle be explicitly determined.
