Abstract:
Let $k$ be any imaginary abelian field with conductor not exceeding 100, where an abelian field means a finite abelian extension over the rational field ${\mathbf {Q}}$ contained in the complex field. Let $C(k)$ denote the ideal class group of $k$, ${C^ - }(k)$ the kernel of the norm map from $C(k)$ to the ideal class group of the maximal real subfield of $k$, and $f(k)$ the conductor of $k;f(k) \leqslant 100$. Proving a preliminary result on $2$-ranks of ideal class groups of certain imaginary abelian fields, this paper determines the structure of the abelian group ${C^ - }(k)$ and, under the condition that either $[k:{\mathbf {Q}}] \leqslant 23$ or $f(k)$ is not a prime $\geqslant 71$, determines the structure of $C(k)$.References
