Bush" ], "categories": [ "math.NT" ], "abstract": "The $p$-group generation algorithm from computational group theory is used to obtain information about large quotients of the pro-2 group $G = \\text{Gal} (k^{nr,2}/k)$ for $k = \\mathbb{Q}(\\sqrt{d})$ with $d = -445, -1015, -1595, -2379$. In each case we are able to narrow the identity of $G$ down to one of a finite number of explicitly given finite groups. From this follow several results regarding the corresponding 2-class tower.
