The infinitude conjecture for imaginary quadratic fields with minimal absolute abelian Galois group

At least 13 years old · documented by

Let KK be an imaginary quadratic field, and let GG denote the profinite group

G=Z^2×∏n≥1Z/nZ.G={\widehat{{\mathbf{Z}}}}^2 \times \prod_{n\ge1} {\mathbf{Z}}/n{\mathbf{Z}}.

Infinitude conjecture. There are infinitely many imaginary quadratic fields KK for which the absolute abelian Galois group is isomorphic to GG.

The group GG is the minimal Galois group identified in the surrounding discussion, and the conjecture is motivated by computational evidence from imaginary quadratic fields of small odd prime class number. The source gives no resolution, so the conjecture remains open.
