Choose a nonzero integral ideal $B$ whose class is $[A{]}^{-1}$; one obtains such an ideal by multiplying the fractional ideal $A^{-1}$ by a suitable nonzero integer. The assumed Minkowski bound for ideal classes gives $0\ne \beta \in B$ withBecause $(\beta )\subseteq B$ and nonzero ideals of the ring of integers are invertible,It is an integral ideal in class $[B{]}^{-1}=[A]$. By multiplicativity of the ideal norm,The same argument applies if the starting $A$ is a fractional ideal, since its class is unchanged by clearing denominators.

For degree $3$ there are either three real embeddings or one real embedding and one complex pair. The respective Minkowski bound for ideal classes areUnder the given discriminant bound they are at most $\frac{2}{9}\sqrt{45}<2$ and $\frac{8}{9\pi }\sqrt{45}<2$. Hence every ideal class contains an integral ideal with positive integer norm strictly below $2$, so with norm $1$. The only such ideal is ${\mathcal{O}}_L$. Therefore

Part (a), applied to any ideal class, produces an integral ideal of positive integer norm at most $c_K$, so $c_K\ge 1$. Writing $n=[K:\mathbb{Q}]$ and using $s\le n/2$ givesFor the last inequality, write $n^n/n!={\prod }_{j=1}^n(n/j)$; the first $\lfloor n/2\rfloor$ factors are at least $2$, and the remaining factors are at least $1$. Since $\lfloor n/2\rfloor \ge (n-1)/2$, squaring yieldsAs $\pi /2>1$, the assumed upper bound $D$ forcesFor $D\ge 1$, the ceiling of the right-hand side is a valid integer $M$. If $D=0$, no number field satisfies the premise, so any positive $M$ works.

Let $I$ be an integral ideal of an imaginary quadratic number field and $(e_1,e_2)$ an integral basis of $I$. Its normalized norm is a positive definite binary quadratic form. An unramified rational prime $p$ is represented by this form exactly when there is an integral prime ideal $P$ of norm $p$ with $[P]=[I{]}^{-1}$. Indeed, a representation gives an element $\alpha \in I$ with $N\alpha =pN(I)$, so $P=(\alpha )I^{-1}$ is integral of norm $p$. Conversely, $IP=(\alpha )$ with $\alpha \in I$ produces a representation by expressing $\alpha$ in the basis. Artin reciprocity then detects this ideal class by Frobenius in the Hilbert class field.
