On the 2-rank and 4-rank of the class group of some real pure quartic number fields

Abstract: Let

K = m a t h b b Q (s q r t [4] p d^{2})

be a real pure quartic number field and

k = m a t h b b Q (s q r t p)

its real quadratic subfield, where

p e q u i v 5 p m o d 8

is a prime integer and

d

an odd square-free integer coprime to

p

. In this work, we calculate

r_{2} (K)

, the

2

-rank of the class group of

K

, in terms of the number of prime divisors of

d

that decompose or remain inert in

m a t h b b Q (s q r t p)

, then we will deduce forms of

d

satisfying

r_{2} (K) = 2

. In the last case, the

4

-rank of the class group of

K

is given too.
