On the 2-Class Field Tower Conjecture for Imaginary Quadratic Number Fields
with 2-Class group of Rank 4
by Elliot Benjamin, Ph.D. February, 2015
Abstract
We demonstrate the existence of infinitely many new imaginary quadratic number fields k with 2-class group Ck,2of rank 4 such that k has infinite 2-class field tower. In particular, we demonstrate the existence of…..
