A genus two curve related to the class number one problem

Publication date 29 February 2016

Abstract: We give another solution to the class number one problem by showing that imaginary quadratic fields

Q (s q r t - d)

with class number

h (- d) = 1

correspond to integral points on a genus two curve

m s c r K_{3}

. In fact one can find all rational points on

m s c r K_{3}

. The curve

m s c r K_{3}

arises naturally via certain coverings of curves:

m s c r K_{3} g m s c r K_{6}

,

m s c r K_{1} g m s c r K_{2}

with

m s c r K_{2} c o l o n y^{2} = 2 x (x^{3} - 1)

denoting the Heegner curve, also in connection with the so-called Heegner-Stark covering

m s c r K_{1} g m s c r K_{s}

.
