Put . Its fundamental discriminant is . The Minkowski bound for ideal classes isso every ideal class contains an integral ideal of norm , or . The primes above and are ramified, their classes have order at most two, andshows 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, soThe 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
