CM-fields with cyclic ideal class groups of 2-power orders

[摘要] We prove that there are only finitely many CM-fields N with cyclic ideal class groups of 2-power orders such that the complex conjugation is the square of some automorphism of N. Since their actual determination would be too difficult. we only content ourselves with the determination of the nonquadratic imaginary cyclic number fields of 2-power degrees with cyclic ideal class groups of 2-power orders. There are exactly 22 such number fields, 10 of them having class number one, 9 of them having class number two, and 3 of them having class number four. This present determination is a nice complement to the determination of all nonquadratic imaginary cyclic number fields of 2-power degrees with ideal class groups of exponents less than or equal to 2 completed in an earlier paper.
