Abstract: Let d be a square-free integer, mathbfk=mathbbQ(sqrtd,,i) and i=sqrt−1. Let mathbfk1(2) be the Hilbert 2-class field of mathbfk, mathbfk2(2) be the Hilbert 2-class field of mathbfk1(2) and G=mathrmGal(mathbfk2(2)/mathbfk) be the Galois group of mathbfk2(2)/mathbfk. Our goal is to give necessary and sufficient conditions to have G metacyclic in the case where d=pq, with p and q are primes such that pequiv1pmod8 and qequiv5pmod8 or pequiv1pmod8 and qequiv3pmod4.


Let \(\mathbf{k}=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{pq}, \sqrt{-1})\), \(\mathbf{k}_1^{(2)}\) be the Hilbert 2-class field of \(\mathbf{k}\), and \(\mathbf{k}_2^{(2)}\) be the Hilbert 2-class field of \(\mathbf{k}_1^{(2)}\). The authors describe the rank and structure of the Galois group \(G=\mathrm{Gal}(\mathbf{k}_2^{(2)}/\mathbf{k})\) in the case \(p\equiv 1\pmod 8\) and \(q\equiv 5\pmod 8\) or \(q\equiv 3\pmod 8\).
