Summary of recent research results 2008

1. The impact of number theoretic data on the structure of the group Gal(K2|K),
the group of automorphisms of the 2nd Hilbert 3-class field K2 over a quadratic field K [1].
1.1. Theorems concerning the impact of 3-class numbers.
1.2. Theorems concerning the impact of 3-capitulation.

2. Real quadratic fields K with new capitulation types.
d = 710652

710652 is the smallest discriminant [2] of a real quadratic field K
with capitulation type b.10 (0,0,4,3) ,
symbolic order V4,4, and group G=Gal(K2|K) in CBF1b(6,8)
of lower than second maximal class.
The 3-class groups of N1 and N2 are of type (9,9),
but we have the exceptional type (3,3,3) for N3 and N4.
d = 631769

631769 is the smallest discriminant [2] of a real quadratic field K
with capitulation type D.5 (3,4,3,4) ,
symbolic order L2, and group G=Gal(K2|K) in CBF1a(4,5) of second maximal class.
The 3-class groups of N3 and N4 are of type (9,3),
but we have the exceptional type (3,3,3) for N1 and N2.
d = 540365

540365 is the smallest discriminant [2] of a real quadratic field K
with capitulation type c.21 (0,2,3,1) ,
symbolic order X3, and non-terminal group G=Gal(K2|K) in CBF2a(5,6)
of second maximal class.
Important remark: This example shows that the strict leaf conjecture
that only terminal nodes (leaves) can occur as Gal(K2|K) is false.
However, it might still be true that a group cannot occur as Gal(K2|K),
if one of its successors is a leaf in CBFb with the same capitulation type.

The 3-class groups are of type (9,3) for N2, N3, and N4,
and of type (9,9) for N1.
d = 534824

534824 is the smallest discriminant [2] of a real quadratic field K
with capitulation type c.18 (0,3,1,3) ,
symbolic order X3, and non-terminal group G=Gal(K2|K) in CBF2a(5,6)
of second maximal class.

The 3-class groups are of type (9,3) for N2 and N4,
of type (9,9) for N1
but we have the exceptional type (3,3,3) for N3.
d = 494236

494236 is the smallest discriminant [2] of a real quadratic field K
with an excited state of capitulation type a.3 (3,0,0,0) ,
symbolic order Y4, and group G=Gal(K2|K) in CF2a(6) of maximal class.
The 3-class groups are of type (3,3) for N2, N3, and N4,
and of type (27,9) for N1.
d = 422573

422573 is the smallest discriminant [2] of a real quadratic field K
with capitulation type D.10 (1,3,4,1) ,
symbolic order L2, and group G=Gal(K2|K) in CBF1a(4,5) of second maximal class.
The 3-class groups of N1, N3, and N4 are of type (9,3),
but we have the exceptional type (3,3,3) for N2.
d = 342664

342664 is the smallest discriminant [2] of a real quadratic field K
with capitulation type E.9 (4,1,3,4) ,
symbolic order X4, and group G=Gal(K2|K) in CBF2a(6,7) of second maximal class.
The 3-class groups are of type (9,3) for N2, N3, and N4,
and of type (27,9) for N1.
d = 214712

214712 is the smallest discriminant [2] of a real quadratic field K
with capitulation type G.19 (4,3,2,1) ,
symbolic order Z, and group G=Gal(K2|K) in CBF1b(5,6) of second maximal class.
Similarly as over complex quadratic fields,
in none of the four unramified cyclic cubic extensions N|K
the complete 3-class group of K becomes principal.

The 3-class groups are of type (9,3) for N1, N2, N3, and N4.

3. Real quadratic fields K with finite 3-class field tower K < K1 < K2 of length 2.

Since the ground states of the capitulation types a.2 and a.3 are associated with
2-stage metabelian 3-groups G=Gal(K2|K) in CF2a(4) of maximal class
(with commutator factor group G/G´ of type (3,3)),
whose main commutator has [1] the symbolic order Y2 = R2,1 = (X2,Y),
we have many new examples of 3-class field towers of length 2 .
For 26 of the 30 real quadratic fields with discriminant 0 < d < 3*105 and 3-class group of type (3,3)
the capitulation type is a.2 or a.3 in the ground state and the 3-class field tower is finite of length 2.

262744 is the smallest absolute discriminant [2] of a complex quadratic field K

124363 is the smallest absolute discriminant [2] of a complex quadratic field K
with the mysterious unknown (up to now) capitulation type F.7 (4,4,1,1) ,
symbolic order R4,4, and group G=Gal(K2|K) in CBF1a(6,9) of lower than second maximal class.
d = -21668

21668 is the smallest absolute discriminant [2] of a complex quadratic field K
with an excited state of capitulation type H.4 (2,1,1,1) ,
