Class Number Parity

This book deals with classical questions of Algebraic Number Theory concerning the interplay between units, ideal class groups, and ramification for relative extensions of number fields. It includes a large collection of fundamental classical examples, dealing in particular with relative quadratic extensions as well as relative cyclic extensions of odd prime degree. The unified approach is exclusively algebraic in nature.
