Put . Its fundamental discriminant is . The Minkowski bound for ideal classes is
so every ideal class contains an integral ideal of norm , or . The primes above and are ramified, their classes have order at most two, and
shows that they represent the same class. This class is nontrivial because the norm form does not represent . Hence
Now let . The discriminant of a biquadratic field is the product of the discriminants of its three quadratic subfields, so
The relative discriminant therefore has norm one, proving that is unramified at every finite prime. Since , the Hilbert class field of Q of square root minus six is
Let , whose discriminant is , and put
This is a biquadratic extension of whose three quadratic subfields have discriminants , , and . The discriminant of a biquadratic field is therefore
The relative discriminant formula gives
so is unramified at every finite prime. Both fields are totally imaginary, so no infinite place ramifies. Since , the extension has the full degree of the Hilbert class field, and hence
The trace/norm integrality conditions give the stated congruences for
. Solving them yields these integral bases:
The three quadratic subfields have fundamental discriminants . By discriminant of a biquadratic field,
in both residue classes.
