Lemmermeyer's reflection conjecture for quartic fields and cubic resolvents

About 10 years old · traced to

Let LL be a number field with Galois group S4S_4 or A4A_4 over Q\mathbb{Q}. Let K1K_1 be a quartic subfield and K2K_2 its cubic resolvent. For a number field KK, write rk2Cl(K)\mathrm{rk}_2Cl(K) for the dimension over F2\mathbb{F}_2 of the 22-torsion subgroup of its class group. Lemmermeyer's reflection conjecture. In the above setting,

rk2Cl(K1)−2≤rk2Cl(K2)≤rk2Cl(K1).\mathrm{rk}_2Cl(K_1)-2\leq\mathrm{rk}_2Cl(K_2)\leq\mathrm{rk}_2Cl(K_1).

This sharpens a result of Tsimerman, which gives equality up to an error term depending on the discriminant of LL. The source does not state whether Lemmermeyer's conjecture has been resolved.
