Corrigendum Parity of class numbers and Witt equivalence of quartic fields

Corrigendum Parity of class numbers and Witt equivalence of quartic fields

Proof. Take a nondyadic prime q of F with s(Fq) = 2 (there must be one since s(F ) = 2). We show that the order d of the ideal class [q] in the ideal class group of F is even. For suppose d is odd. Then q = (a) …
