Abstract

Let be a real quadratic number field with 2-class group isomorphic to such that the discriminant of is divisible by only positive prime discriminants. Let be the Hilbert 2-class field of and be the three unramified quadratic extensions of We prove that if the 2-class number of is equal to the 2-class number of for and 3, then either or rank
