Using the elements of order four in the narrow ideal class group, we construct generators of the maximal elementary $2$-class group of real quadratic number fields with even discriminant which is a sum of two squares and with fundamental unit of positive norm. We then give a characterization of when two of these generators are equal in the narrow sense in terms of norms of Gaussian integers.

In this paper, we show that the number of real quadratic fields 𝕂 of discriminant Δ𝕂 < x whose class group has an element of order g (with g even) is ≥ x1/g/5 if x > x0, uniformly for positive integers g ≤ ( log log x)/(8 log log log x). We also apply the result to find real quadratic number fields whose class numbers have many prime factors.

AbstractThis is about results on certain regular graphs that yield information about the structure of the ideal class group of quadratic number fields associated with these graphs. Some of the results can be formulated in terms of the quadratic forms x2 + 27y2, x2 + 32y2, x2 + 64y2.

Abstract In $1801$, Gauss found an explicit description, in the language of binary quadratic forms, for the $2$-torsion of the narrow class group and dual narrow class group of a quadratic number field. This is now known as Gauss’s genus theory. In this paper, we extend Gauss’s work to the setting of multi-quadratic number fields. To this end, we introduce and parametrize the categories of expansion groups and expansion Lie algebras, giving an explicit description for the universal objects of these categories. This description is inspired by the ideas of Smith [ 16] in his recent breakthrough on Goldfeld’s conjecture and the Cohen–Lenstra conjectures. Our main result shows that the maximal unramified multi-quadratic extension $L$ of a multi-quadratic number field $K$ can be reconstructed from the set of generalized governing expansions supported in the set of primes that ramify in $K$. This provides a recursive description for the group $\textrm{Gal}(L/\mathbb{Q})$ and a systematic procedure to construct the field $L$. A special case of our main result gives an upper bound for the size of $\textrm{Cl}^{+}(K)[2]$.

Letkbe an imaginary quadratic number field and letk1be the 2-Hilbert class field ofk. IfCk,2, the 2-Sylow subgroup of the ideal class group ofk, is elementary and |Ck,2|≥ 8, we show thatCk1,2is not cyclic. IfCk,2is isomorphic toZ/2Z×Z/4ZandCk1,2is elementary we show thatkhas finite 2-class field tower of length at most 2.

Let [Formula: see text]. We study the [Formula: see text]-part of the narrow class group in thin families of quadratic number fields of the form [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] are prime numbers, and we prove new lower bounds for the proportion of narrow class groups in these families that have an element of order [Formula: see text]. In the course of our proof, we prove a general double-oscillation estimate for the quadratic residue symbol in quadratic number fields.
