Abstract: In 1976, Onabe discovered that, in contrast to the Neukirch-Uchida results that were proved around the same time, a number field K is not completely characterized by its absolute abelian Galois group AK. The first examples of non-isomorphic K having isomorphic AK were obtained on the basis of a classification by Kubota of idele class character groups in terms of their infinite families of Ulm invariants, and did not yield a description of AK. In this paper, we provide a direct `computation' of the profinite group AK for imaginary quadratic K, and use it to obtain many different K that all have the same minimal absolute abelian Galois group.
