Tame kernels and further 4-rank densities. (Q1869802)

This is a continuation of Part I [cf. R. Osburn, Acta Arith. 102, 45--54 (2002; Zbl 1029.11062)], dealing more cases of the quadratic number fields \(F_1={\mathbb Q} (\sqrt {p\ell })\) and \(F_2={\mathbb Q} (\sqrt {-p\ell })\) with primes \(p\equiv \ell \equiv 1\) (mod 8), to study the 4-ranks \(r_i\) of \(K_2 (\mathcal{O}_{F_i})\) (\(i=1,2\)). Fixing \(p\), the authors show that the density of \(\ell \) with \((\ell /p)=1\) for \(r_1=\) 1 (or 2) is 3/4 (or 1/4); that with \((\ell /p)=1\) for \(r_2=\) 1 (or 2) is 1/2; and that with \((\ell /p)=-1\) for \(r_1=\) 0 (or 1) is 1/2.
