For square-free δ≡3(mod4), the field Q(2​,δ​) has basis 1,2​,δ​,(2​+2δ​)/2 as an integral basis of its ring of integers. Relative traces force all rational coefficients to be half-integers; the norm to Q(δ​) forces the constant and δ​ coefficients to be integers and the two other numerators to have equal parity. The half-sum is integral because it satisfies X4−(1+δ)X2+(δ−1)2/4=0.
