This article deals with bounds for the number of generators of the \(2\)-class group of cubic and the \(3\)-class group of quadratic fields. Take the case of cubic number fields \(k\). \textit{H. Heilbronn} [Studies in Pure Math. 117-119 (1971; Zbl 0249.12012)] used class field theory to relate the \(2\)-rank of \(Cl(k)\) to the number of quartic fields with the same discriminant as k whose normal closures contain \(k\). These yield representations of the absolute Galois group \(G_{\mathbb Q}\) of \(\mathbb Q\) in \(\text{PGL}_2(\mathbb C)\) that can be lifted to representations \(\rho: G_{\mathbb Q} \rightarrow \text{ GL}_2(\mathbb C)\) with projective image \(A_4\) or \(S_4\). Using Langlands-Tunnell these are related to certain automorphic forms on \(\text{ GL}_2(\mathbb A_{\mathbb Q})\). The number of such automorphic forms were estimated by \textit{W. Duke} [Int. Math. Res. 1995, No. 2, 99-109 (1995; Zbl 0843.11024)], and this allows the author to show that the \(2\)-class rank of cyclic cubic fields of discriminant \(D\) is at most \(3/8 \log_2 D + O(\log \log D)\). For the entire collection see [Zbl 0910.00037].
