(a) Compute the class group of K=Q(30). Find also the fundamental unit of K, stating clearly any general results you use.
[The Minkowski bound for a real quadratic field is ∣dK∣1/2/2. ]
(b) Let K=Q(d) be real quadratic, with embeddings σ1,σ2↪R. An element α∈K is totally positive if σ1(α)>0 and σ2(α)>0. Show that the totally positive elements of K form a subgroup of the multiplicative group K∗ of index 4 .
Let I,J⊂OK be non-zero ideals. We say that I is narrowly equivalent to J if there exists a totally positive element α of K such that I=αJ. Show that this is an equivalence relation, and that the equivalence classes form a group under multiplication. Show also that the order of this group equals
{ the class number hK of K2hK if the fundamental unit of K has norm −1 otherwise.
