Additional Properties
The Hilbert class field E also satisfies the following:
- E is a finite Galois extension of K and =hK, where hK is the class number of K.
- The ideal class group of K is isomorphic to the Galois group of E over K.
- Every ideal of OK is a principal ideal of the ring extension OE (principal ideal theorem).
- Every prime ideal P of OK decomposes into the product of hK/f prime ideals in OE, where f is the order of in the ideal class group of OK.
In fact, E is the unique field satisfying the first, second, and fourth properties.

Famous quotes containing the words additional and/or properties:
“When I turned into a parent, I experienced a real and total personality change that slowly shifted back to the “normal” me, yet has not completely vanished. I believe the two levels are now superimposed, with an additional sprinkling of mortality intimations.”
—Sonia Taitz (20th century)
“The reason why men enter into society, is the preservation of their property; and the end why they choose and authorize a legislative, is, that there may be laws made, and rules set, as guards and fences to the properties of all the members of the society: to limit the power, and moderate the dominion, of every part and member of the society.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)
