Circulant Graphs and 4-Ranks of Ideal Class Groups

Hurrelbrink, Jurgen

Canadian journal of mathematics, Tome 46 (1994) no. 1, pp. 169-183

Résumé

This is about results on certain regular graphs that yield information about the structure of the ideal class group of quadratic number fields associated with these graphs. Some of the results can be formulated in terms of the quadratic forms x2 + 27y2, x2 + 32y2, x2 + 64y2.
