Jun 2, 2010 at 15:04 comment added Torsten Ekedahl Well it is even worse I thought about the distinction for $K$ where I noted that it doesn't matter as $K$ is totally complex but forget that it matters for $\mathbb Q[\sqrt{19\cdot151}$. What is much worse I however is that when I asked Magma (and also Kant to doublecheck) about the class number I did for the field obtained by adjoining one root of the polynomial and not all of them. Hence I got class number (which is probably OK) but for the wrong field... Back to the drawing board.
Jun 2, 2010 at 11:07 comment added Franz Lemmermeyer You only can expect a positive answer if unramified means unramified everywhere. If you allow ramification at infinity, you get a larger tower by adjoining a square root of -19 and then continuing with the Hilbert class field of ${\mathbb Q}(\sqrt{-151})$. BTW, how do you prove that K has class number 1 if Odlyko's bounds are too weak?
Jun 2, 2010 at 5:17 comment added Torsten Ekedahl Here is a specialisation of the question at the end. The polynomial (an example "dear to Artin" according to Lang, if I remember the comment in his book correctly) $x^5-x+1$ gives an unramified $A_5$-extension $K$ of $\mathbb Q[\sqrt{19\cdot151}]$. Is this the maximal unramified extension of $\mathbb Q[\sqrt{19\cdot151}]$? The class group of $K$ is trivial so a further solvable extension is out. On the other hand Odlyzko's bounds are not strong enough to give anything it seems.
