Abstract

A computation has been made of the noncyclic class groups of imaginary quadratic fields Q(√-D) for even and odd discriminants - D from 0 to - 25000000. Among the results are that 95% of the class groups are cyclic, and that -11203620 and -18397407 are the first discriminants of imaginary quadratic fields for which the class group has rank three in the 5-Sylow subgroup. The latter was known to be of rank three; this computation demonstrates that it is the first odd discriminant of 5-rank three or more.
