Quadratic fields with cyclic 2-class groups

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: For any integer kge1, we show that there are infinitely many complex quadratic fields whose 2-class groups are cyclic of order 2k. The proof combines the circle method with an algebraic criterion for a complex quadratic ideal class to be a square.


The authors prove that there are infinitely many complex quadratic fields whose 2-class groups are cyclic of order \(2^k\) for any natural number \(k\). The methods used employ the circle method with an algebraic criterion for a complex quadratic ideal class group to be a square.
