Résumé

In the previous paper [15], we determined the structure of the Galois groups $Gal (K_{u r} / K)$ of the maximal unramified extensions $K_{u r}$ of imaginary quadratic number fields $K$ of conductors $≦ 1000$ under the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH) except for 23 fields (these are of conductors $≧ 723$ ) and give a table of $Gal (K_{u r} / K)$ . We update the table (under GRH). For 19 exceptional fields $K$ of them, we determine $Gal (K_{u r} / K)$ . In particular, for $K = 𝐐 (\sqrt{- 856})$ , we obtain $Gal (K_{u r} / K) ≅ \tilde{S_{4}} \times C_{5} and K_{u r} = K_{4}$ , the fourth Hilbert class field of $K$ . This is the first example of a number field whose class field tower has length four.

Dans l’article [15], nous donnions dans une table la structure des groupes de Galois $Gal (K_{u r} / K)$ des extensions maximales non ramifiées $K_{u r}$ des corps de nombres quadratiques imaginaires $K$ de conducteur $≦ 1000$ sous l’Hypothèse de Riemann Généralisée, sauf pour 23 d’entre eux (tous de conducteur $≧ 723$ ). Ici nous mettons à jour cette table, en précisant, pour 19 de ces corps exceptionnels, la structure de $Gal (K_{u r} / K)$ . En particulier pour $K = 𝐐 (\sqrt{- 856})$ , nous obtenons $Gal (K_{u r} / K) ≅ \tilde{S_{4}} \times C_{5} et K_{u r} = K_{4}$ , le quatrième corps de classes de Hilbert de $K$ . C’est le premier exemple d’un corps de nombres dont la tour de corps de classes est de longueur $4$ .
