The conjecture relating cubic roots to ring class fields

Let dd be as in the paper, let O(d)\mathcal{O}(d) be the associated quadratic order, and let PdP_d and RdR_d be the subsets defined there. For βO(d)\beta\in\mathcal{O}(d), let c=c(β)c=c(\beta) be the product of the distinct rational primes dividing β\beta but not dd, and let McM_c be the ring class field for the order Z[c3d]\mathbb{Z}[c\sqrt{-3d}]. Assume that β\beta has a cubic norm and that 3N(β)3\nmid N(\beta). Cubic-root class-field conjecture. One has

β1/3McβPd.\beta^{1/3}\in M_c\quad\Longleftrightarrow\quad \beta\in P_d.

In particular, this equivalence holds for every βRd\beta\in R_d with 3N(β)3\nmid N(\beta). This conjecture is introduced as the conditional input for the extension of the preceding theorem beyond the hypothesis 3h(d)3\nmid h(d); numerical evidence is cited later in the paper.
