Review text

The authors determine all sextic number fields whose absolute discriminants are powers of 2 and 3. A major ingredient of their computations are known methods for calculating number fields of fixed degree and bounded discriminant [\textit{M. Pohst}, J. Number Theory 14, 99-117 (1982; Zbl 0478.12005)]. Additionally, they prove divisibility properties (by powers of 2 and 3) for the coefficients of generating polynomials. They also need to use sixtic twining [\textit{D. P. Roberts}, Twin sextic algebras, Rocky Mt. J. Math. 28, 341-368 (1998; Zbl 0931.12004)] and class field theory to show that the list of obtained fields is complete. The paper contains a variety of information about the method and about the fields found. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0910.00037].
