Abstract

In this paper, we compute the unit groups and the 2-class numbers of the Fröhlich’s triquadratic fields \mathbb{K}=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2},\sqrt{p},\sqrt{q}), where p and q are two prime numbers such that (p\equiv 1 \pmod 8 and q\equiv 3 \pmod 4) or (p\equiv 5 or 3 \pmod 8 and q\equiv 3 \pmod 4). Furthermore, we determine some families of the fields \mathbb{K} whose 2-class groups are trivial or cyclic non trivial, and some other families with 2-class groups isomorphic to the Klein group.

Keywords:  Real multiquadratic fields, unit group, 2-class group, 2-class number.
