A criterion for the class group of $L$ being generated by the classes of prime ideals of residue degree $f>1$ is provided. Further, some consequences of this study on the solvability of norm equations for $L/\\mathbb{Q}$ and on the problem of finding annihilators for relative extensions are discussed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-01-29T05:59:41.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11R44" ], "keywords": [ "class group", "prime ideals", "higher residue degree", "ideal classes", "distribution" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
