For a totally real (resp. imaginary) biquadratic number field $K$ with quadratic subfields $K_1$, $K_2$ and $K_3$, is there an explicit method to determine Hasse unit index $(U_K:U_{K_1}U_{K_2}U_{K_3})$?

  • $\begingroup$ The Hasse unit index of $L/K$ is $[\mathcal{O}_L^\times :\mathcal{O}_{L,torsion}^\times \mathcal{O}_{K}^\times]$ ? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Are you looking for the Brauer-Kuroda formula like in Proposition (4.1) in de Smit's article www.math.leidenuniv.nl/~desmit/prep/braukur.ps ? $\endgroup$ Commented Jun 20, 2017 at 13:01

  • $\begingroup$ Is it possible to have a scan of Wada's paper. It is pretty impossible to find it. $\endgroup$
