Extract
In the preceding paper of the same title (cf. [1]) I defined the notion of the principal genus GK of a finite number field K as the least ideal group, which contains the group IK of totally positive principal ideals and is characterized rationally. The quotient group of the group AK of ideals in K modulo GK is the genus group, its order (Ak: GK) = gK is the genus number, which is thus a factor of the class number hK (in the narrow sense). Associated with the genus group is the genus-field, of K, which is defined as the maximal non-ramified extension of K composed of K and of some absolutely Abelian field.
