On the exact divisibility by 5 of the class number of some pure metacyclic fields

Abstract: Let

G a m m a, =, m a t h b b Q (s q r t [5] n)

be a pure quintic field, where

n

is a natural number

5^{t h}

power-free. Let

k = m a t h b b Q (s q r t [5] n, z e t a_{5})

, with

z e t a_{5}

is a primitive

5^{t h}

root of unit, be the normal closure of

G a m m a

, and a pure metacyclic field of degree

20

over

m a t h b b Q

. When

n

takes some particular forms, we show that

G a m m a

admits a trivial

5

-class group and

5

divides exactly the class number of

k

.
