On the $16$-rank of class groups of $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-3p})$ for primes $p$ congruent to $1$ modulo $4$

Abstract: For fixed $q\in{3,7,11,19, 43,67,163}$, we consider the density of primes $p$ congruent to $1$ modulo $4$ such that the class group of the number field $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-qp})$ has order divisible by $16$. We show that this density is equal to $1/8$, in line with a more general conjecture of Gerth. Vinogradov's method is the key analytic tool for our work.
