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.

In the first part of the present paper, we shall make some simple observations on the ideal class groups of algebraic number fields, following the group-theoretical method of Tschebotarew. The applications on cyclotomic fields (Theorems 5, 6) may be of some interest. In the last section, we shall give a proof to a theorem of Kummer on the ideal class group of a cyclotomic field.

It is a classical result, deriving from the Gaussian theory of genera of integral binary quadratic forms, that there exist only finitely many imaginary quadratic fields for which the ideal class group is a group of exponent two. This finiteness has been shown to extend to all those totally imaginary quadratic extensions of any fixed totally real algebraic number field. In this paper we put forward the conjecture that there exist only finitely many imaginary abelian algebraic number fields which have ideal class groups of exponent two, and we examine the extent to which existing methods can be brought to bear on this conjecture. One consequence of the validity of the conjecture would be a proof of the existence of finite abelian groups which do not occur as the ideal class group of any imaginary abelian field.

Let K be a Galois extension of an algebraic number field k of finite degree with Galois group g. Then g acts on a congruent ideal class group of K as a group of automorphisms, when the class field M over K corresponding to is normal over K. Let Ig be the augmentation ideal of the group ring Zg over the ring of integers Z, namely Ig be the ideal of Zg generated by σ − 1, σ running over all elements of g. Then is the group of all elements aσ-1 where a and σ belong to and g respectively.

For prime l we study the structure of the 2-part of the ideal class group Cl of ℚ(ζl). We prove that Cl ⊗ ℤ2) is a cyclic Galois module for all l < 10000 with one exception and compute the explicit structure in several cases.

Let K/k be a Galois extension of a number field of degree n and p a prime number which does not divide n. The study of the p-rank of the ideal class group of K by using those of intermediate fields of K/k has been made by Iwasawa, Masley et al., attaining the results obtained under respective constraining assumptions. In the present paper we shall show that we can remove these assumptions, and give more general results under a unified viewpoint. Finally, we shall add a remark on the class numbers of cyclic extensions of prime degree of Q.

AbstractWe describe how to compute the ideal class group and the unit group of an order in a number field in subexponential time. Our method relies on the generalized Riemann hypothesis and other usual heuristics concerning the smoothness of ideals. It applies to arbitrary classes of number fields, including those for which the degree goes to infinity.
