Note on imaginary quadratic fields satisfying the Hilbert-Speiser condition at a prime p

Humio Ichimura

Abstract

Let $p$ be a prime number. A number field $F$ satisfies the condition $(H_p)$ when any tame cyclic extention $N/F$ of degree $p$ has a normal integral basis. For the case $p=2$, it is shown by Mann that $F$ satisfies $(H_2)$ only when $h_F=1$ where $h_F$ is the class number of $F$. We prove that if an imaginary quadratic field $F$ satisfies $(H_p)$ for some $p$, then $h_F=1$.
