Ring class fields modulo 8 of \({\mathbb{Q}}(\sqrt{-m})\) and the quartic character of units of \({\mathbb{Q}}(\sqrt{m})\) for m\(\equiv 1\) mod 8 (Q917593)

Let m be a positive squarefree rational integer. Let \(\epsilon_ m\) be the fundamental unit of \({\mathbb{Q}}(\sqrt{m})\) and suppose \(N_{{\mathbb{Q}}(\sqrt{m})/{\mathbb{Q}}}(\epsilon_ m)=-1\). In the case when \(m\equiv 1 (mod 8)\) and the ideal class group of \({\mathbb{Q}}(\sqrt{-m})\) has only one invariant divisible by 4, the authors determine the quartic symbol \((\epsilon_ m/P)_ 4\), where P is a prime ideal of \({\mathbb{Q}}(\sqrt{m})\) dividing a prime p with \((-1/p)=(m/p)=1\).
