b
Every ideal of Z prime to 8 has a representative nZ with n odd and positive. The Artin reciprocity map for Q(ζ8​)/Q is
nZ⟼σn​,σn​(ζ8​)=ζ8n​.
(1)
Its kernel consists exactly of positive principal ideals generated by numbers congruent to 1 modulo 8. Therefore
IQ​(8∞)/PQ​(8∞)≅Gal(Q(ζ8​)/Q)≅(Z/8Z)×,
(2)
and the four classes are
[Z],[3Z],[5Z],[7Z].​
(3)
Complex conjugation sends ζ8​ to ζ8−1​=ζ87​, so it corresponds to 7​.
