The complex quadratic base field K with discriminant d = -21668
21668 is the smallest absolute discriminant of a complex quadratic field K
with an excited state of capitulation type H.4 (2,1,1,1),
symbolic order Z5, and group G=Gal(K2|K) in CBF2b(7,8) of second maximal class.
This is the complex quadratic base field K with the smallest absolute discriminant
having an excited state of a capitulation type in general.
Our attention has been drawn to this field in November, 1989,
since one of the four associated absolute cubic fields has class number 9,
whereas the smaller occurrences of capitulation type H.4, d = -3896 and d = -6583,
have all four associated absolute cubic fields with class number 3.
This inspired our conjecture about the impact of 3-class numbers on the structure of G=Gal(K2|K),
which is now proved in Theorem 2 of
2008 Year of Mathematics.
It should be mentioned that Brink has determined the capitulation type of this field
in his 1984 thesis [1] already. However, he did not investigate connections with 3-class numbers
and did not use the distinction between ground states and excited states.
We give the complete data needed to determine the capitulation type and the group G=Gal(K2|K).
Computed in November, 1989, at the University of Graz, Computer Centre [2], contained in [3], and analyzed in [4,5].
