β¦ Synopsis
It has been shown by Madden that there are only finitely many quadratic extensions of k(x), k a finite field, in which the ideal class group has exponent two and the infinity place of k(x) ramifies. We give a characterization of such fields that allow us to find a full list of all such field extensions for future reference. In doing so we correct some errors in earlier published literature.

We list all imaginary cyclotomic extensions β«ήβ¬ x, β³ rβ«ήβ¬ x with ideal class q M Ε½ x . q number equal to one. Apart from the zero genus ones, there are 17 solutions up to Ε½ . β«ήβ¬ x -isomorphism: 13 of them are defined over β«ήβ¬ and the 4 remainings are q 3 defined over β«ήβ¬ .
Focusing on a particular case, we will show that one can explicitly determine the quartic fields \(\mathbf{K}\) that have ideal class groups of exponent \(\leqslant 2\), provided that \(\mathbf{K} / \mathbf{Q}\) is not normal, provided that \(\mathbf{K}\) is a quadratic extension of a fixed imaginar
We prove that there are only finitely many CM-fields N with cyclic ideal class groups of 2-power orders such that the complex conjugation is the square of some automorphism of N. Since their actual determination would be too difficult, we only content ourselves with the determination of the nonquadr
