Abstract

Let K be a normal totally real algebraic number field. It is shown how to effectively classify all totally imaginary quadratic extensions of class number 1. Let K be a real quadratic field of class number 1, whose fundamental unit has norm $- 1$. Then it is shown how to effectively classify all totally imaginary quadratic extensions of class number 2.
