Imaginary multiquadratic fields of class number 1 (Q503698)

In this paper, the author makes a list of all the imaginary \(n\)-quadratic fields of degree \(2^n\) which have class number 1. Here an imaginary \(n\)-quadratic field is a compositum of \(n\) quadratic fields of the form \(\mathbb Q (\sqrt{a_1},\sqrt{a_2}, \dots , \sqrt{a_n})\) where at least one \(a_i\) is negative. For \(n=1\), \textit{A. Baker} [Ann. Math. (2) 94, 139--152 (1971; Zbl 0219.12008)] and \textit{H. M. Stark} [Mich. Math. J. 14, 1--27 (1967; Zbl 0148.27802)] independently proved that there are 9 of them and listed them. For \(n=2\), \textit{E. Brown} and \textit{C. J. Parry} [J. Reine Angew. Math. 266, 118--120 (1974; Zbl 0287.12015)] proved that there are 47 of them and listed them. For \(n\geq 4\) the author proves that there are none of class number 1 and for \(n=3\), she proves that there are 17 of them and gives the list of them. The author uses different class number formulas, in particular the class number formula of Kuroda, and relies on some computer calculations done with the Sage package. In a footnote of her paper, the author mentions that \textit{K. Yamamura} has previously published in 1994 the same results in [Math. Comput. 62, No. 206, 899--921 (1994; Zbl 0798.11046)].
