Historical Introduction

In the present investigation, we are re-entering uncharted waters.
In 2002, Aïssa Derhem and ourselves analyzed the relations between
the absolute Galois group g = Gal(F31(K*)|Q)
of the Hilbert 3-class field of the absolute 3-genus field K* = (K|Q)*
of cyclic cubic fields K whose conductor f is divisible by two primes (t = 2)
and the norms of primitive ambiguous principal ideals of K.

First we revisited the scenario of Ayadi's Thesis , where both fields
of the doublet sharing the common conductor f have 3-class number h = 9
and 3-class group of type (3,3). In this case, the metabelian 3-group g turned out to be
of maximal class (coclass 1) .

Then, however, we pushed forward to the rare cases, where the members
of the doublet have class numbers divisible by 27 and 3-class group
of type (3,9) or (9,9) or (9,27). In contrast to exact 3-class number 9,
the members may have different 3-class numbers, as we observed in our
primary construction process
using Voronoi's algorithm and the Euler product for class number computation.
Then we proved that, for 27 | h, the Galois groups g are
of second maximal class (coclass 2) ,
and in the particularly hard boiled case f = 42127 even of coclass 3 .
Since this required the computation of the class number of the bicubic field K*,
we gratefully acknowledge that Karim Belabas aided us by means of PARI/GP.


The New Challenge

Now, in the year of our mission Research Frontier 2013, our intention is
to use MAGMA for a break through which would have been impossible in 2002.
Instead of g we are going to determine the relative Galois group
G = Gal(F32(K)|K) of the second Hilbert 3-class field of K
and to show that there are connections between the metabelian 3-groups g and G.


§ 1. Possible second 3-class groups, G = G32(K)

It's a lucky coincidence that we've just started an extensive search for
finite p-groups which may occur as higher p-class groups Gpm(K)
of various types of algebraic number fields K, for m ≥ 2.
Thus we are able to give a list of metabelian 3-groups G having G/G' ≅ (3,9)
referring to our latest view of coclass trees for the adopted notation.

In the sequel, we shall encounter exactly the same 55 conductors f < 105
of cyclic cubic fields K with 3-class group Cl3(K) of type (3,9)
which we know from our different investigations in 2002.
Only the particularly extravagant conductor f = 42127 is missing,
since both fields of the corresponding doublet have class number divisible by 81.

There are no conductors divisible by three primes (t = 3) such that
one of the associated four cyclic cubic fields is of type (3,9).

The conductors f in the following Sections § 2.1 and § 2.2
completely contain those conductors f = p*q (t = 2) which are given in
Table 3 on p. 41 of the Section "Tables Numériques" in the paper by George Gras .


§ 2.1. The 13 conductors f divisible by nine, 9 | f

Here, the members of a doublet have equal 3-class numbers 27
and they also have the same TKT a.1, κ(K) = (0000),
and the same 3-class field tower group G32(K) ≅ <81,3>
which we indicate by exponents denoting iteration.

§ 2.2. The 42 conductors f coprime to three, (f,3) = 1

The members of a doublet do not necessarily have equal 3-class numbers 27.
This forces us to introduce three categories of doublets.

Category I: both members have 3-class group (3,9).
Category II: only a single member has 3-class number 27, the other has at least 81.
Category III: none of the members has 3-class group (3,9).

However, for Category I there arises an additional complication:
In general, the members with 3-class number 27 neither have the same TKT κ(K)
nor the same 3-class field tower group G32(K).
Therefore we use exponents denoting iteration.

Successful Conclusions

Our more than 10 years old theory of the Second 3-Genus Group g = g32(K) = Gal(F31(K*)|Q)
is perfectly fitting together with the newly discovered structure of the
Second 3-Class Group G = G32(K) = Gal(F32(K)|K)
of cyclic cubic base fields K whose conductor f is divisible by exactly two primes (t = 2).

First we should point out that the abelianization g/g' ≅ Gal(K*|Q)
is of fixed type (3,3), since the 3-genus field K* of K is bicyclic bicubic,
whereas the abelianization G/G' ≅ Cl3(K) varies in dependence
on the cubic residue characters between the prime divisors of the conductor
and may be of type (3), (3,3), (3,9), (9,9), (9,27), …
having the structure of some nearly homocyclic abelian 3-group.

The possibilities for G provide a refinement of the classification by g
which is given in the following table:


cc(g) g g/g' Parry matrix cc(G) G G/G'
1 <9,2> (3,3) (1010) or (1121) 0 <3,1> (3)
