Ideal class group of Q of square root minus thirty
ID: ideal-class-group-of-q-of-square-root-minus-thirty
Put . The ring of integers is and its discriminant is . The Minkowski bound for ideal classes shows that the ideal class group is generated by the classes of the ramified prime ideals , and . There is no additional prime ideal of norm four because two ramifies with residue degree one. The relations and show that these classes have order dividing two and their product is one. None is a principal ideal: the element field norm cannot equal two, three or five. Thus there are exactly four classes, with the displayed group structure. This also supplies the class-number input for the Hilbert class field of Q of square root minus thirty.
