Imaginary quadratic fields k with Cl2(k) ≈ (2,2m) and rank Cl2 (k1) = 2

E. Benjamin, F. Lemmermeyer and C. Snyder

Vol. 198 (2001), No. 1, 15–31
Abstract

Let k be an imaginary quadratic number field and k1 the Hilbert 2-class field of k. We give a characterization of those k with Cl2(k) (2,2m) such that Cl2(k1) has 2 generators.
