Open publisher page 18 citations

Abstract

For a number field k , let k 1 denote its Hilbert 2 -class field, and put k 2 = ( k 1 ) 1 . We will determine all imaginary quadratic number fields k such that G = G a l ( k 2 / k ) is abelian or metacyclic, and we will give G in terms of generators and relations.
