  • Standard argument for making the class group of a number field trivial

    1 answer




Let $F$ be a number field, and $mathcal{O}$ its ring of integers. Is there always a finite set $S$ of places of $F$ such that $mathcal{O}_S$ has class number one? Is it a consequence of standard results on class field theory or is it something else?

          Yes, it's really just the finiteness of the class number. Let $I$
          be a non-principal ideal in $cal O$. Then $I^h=(a)$ is principal, where $h$ is the classnumber. Let $S_1={P_1,ldots,P_k}$ be the prime ideals containing $a$,
          (and so containing $I$). In the Dedekind domain $mathcal{O}_{S_1}$, the ideal
          $(a)$ (and so also $I$) become trivial. The class groups of $mathcal{O}$
          surjects onto that of $mathcal{O}_{S_1}$, and the surjection kills
          $[I]$. So we get a Dedekind domain with a smaller class number. Now just repeat
          until the classnumber is $1$.
