CHAPTER 3. COMPLEX MULTIPLICATION 31Theorem 19 Let K/Q be a quadratic imaginary extension <strong>of</strong> Q and let O be an order<strong>of</strong> conductor m in K. Then j(O) is an algebraic integer which generates the ring classfield for O <strong>over</strong> K. The Galois conjugates for j(O) are j(a i ), where {a i } is a completeset <strong>of</strong> coset representatives for the projective ideal classes <strong>of</strong> O. The Artin map definesan isomorphism <strong>of</strong> Cl(O) with Gal(K O /K) such that [ pO K , K O /K](j(a)) = j(p −1 a),where p is a prime ideal <strong>of</strong> O not dividing m.Pro<strong>of</strong>. Lang [16, Chapter 10, §3, Theorem 5]As an application we can now define the class polynomial H D (X). Let O be anorder <strong>of</strong> discriminant D in an imaginary quadratic extension <strong>of</strong> Q, and let {a i } be acomplete set <strong>of</strong> coset representatives <strong>of</strong> the h(O) projective ideal classes <strong>of</strong> O. Theabove theorem implies thatis an irreducible polynomial in Z[X].h(O)∏H D (X) = (X − j(a i ))For example, if we take D = −71, the class polynomial H −71 (X) isi=1X 7 + 313645809715X 6 − 3091990138604570X 5 + 98394038810047812049302X 4− 823534263439730779968091389X 3 + 5138800366453976780323726329446X 2− 425319473946139603274605151187659X + 11 9 · 17 6 · 23 3 · 41 3 · 47 3 · 53 3 .As with the modular equation, the coefficients grow rapidly with the size <strong>of</strong> thediscriminant. And as with the modular equations, one can try to deduce simplerexpressions for the class polynomial using different modular functions. For instance,Yui and Zagier [37] use special values <strong>of</strong> certain classical Weber functions to find areduced class equationW −71 (t) = t 7 − t 6 − t 5 + t 4 − t 3 − t 2 + 2t + 1,for the discriminant −71, where t and X satisfy the relation (t 24 − 16) 3 = t 24 X.The following commutative diagram <strong>of</strong> exact sequences summarizes the ideal class
