Parametrization of the quadratic fields whose class numbers are divisible by three (Q1971701)

The authors show that every quadratic number field \(K\) with class number divisible by \(3\) has the form \(K = \mathbb Q(\sqrt{4uw^3 - 27u^2})\), where \(u, w\) are integers satisfying certain congruence conditions modulo \(27\). This result contains many previous constructions e.g. by \textit{P. Hartung} [J. Number Theory 6, 279-281 (1974; Zbl 0317.12002)], \textit{K. Ohta} [Mem. Gifu Tech. Coll. 17, 51-54 (1981)] and \textit{J. Brinkhuis} [Acta Arith. 69, 1-9 (1995; Zbl 0838.11073)] as special cases.
