Given a number field $K$, when is its Hilbert class field an abelian extension of $\mathbb{Q}$? I am going to be on the road soon, so pleas don't be offended if I don't respond quickly to a comment.

I came across this proposition in an article about genus class fields. I have a few questions about the parts that I have underlined in red. I don't understand why the norm map $N_{H/K}: I_H \to P_K$ ...

Let $K$ be a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}$. Then there is a surjective homomorphism $\theta:C_K\to G_K^{ab}$ from the idele class group to the abelianization of the absolute Galois group of $K$ (...

Let $n$ be a positive squarefree integer, and let $h_n$ denote the class number of the imaginary quadratic field $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-n})$. Then, is it true that $h_n$ is odd if and only if $n$ is a ...
