On the $2$-class group of some number fields with large degree (1911.11198v2)

Abstract: Let $d$ be an odd square-free integer, $m\geq 3$ any integer and $L_{m, d}:=\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_{2^m},\sqrt{d})$. In this paper, we shall determine all the fields $L_{m, d}$ having an odd class number. Furthermore, using the cyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}2$-extensions of some number fields, we compute the rank of the $2$-class group of $L{m, d}$ whenever the prime divisors of $d$ are congruent to $3$ or $5\pmod 8$.
