Wada's conjecture on class groups of imaginary quadratic fields

Let K=Q(D)K=\mathbb{Q}(\mathbb{\sqrt{-D}}) be an imaginary quadratic field, where D>1D>1 is square-free, and write its class group as a direct product of cyclic groups. For integers h1,,hth_1,\ldots,h_t, denote this group by [h1,,ht][h_1,\ldots,h_t]. If the field has at least three ramified rational primes, write the relevant even factors in terms of powers of 22. Wada's conjecture. All the class groups of imaginary quadratic fields are either cyclic or of the type (h1,h2,2r1,2r2,,2rk)(h_1,h_2,2^{r_1},2^{r_2},\ldots,2^{r_k}). The paper claims that its family of fields provides a counterexample to Wada's conjecture, so the conjecture is refuted.
