Using the list of all imaginary quadratic fields with class number 1, 2, 3 and 6, we determine all imaginary bicyclic biquadratic number fields of class number 3. There are exactly 163 such fields and their conductors are less than or equal to 163 $\cdot$883.

When imaginary numbers were first encountered in the 16th century, mathematicians were able to calculate the imaginary numbers the same as they are today. However, it required 200 years to mathematically acknowledge the existence of imaginary numbers. The new mathematical situation that arose with a development in mathematics required a harmony of real numbers and imaginary numbers. As a result, the concept of complex number became clear. A history behind the development of complex numbers involved a process of determining a comprehensive perspective that ties real numbers and imaginary numbers in a single category, complex numbers. This came after a resolution of conflict between real numbers and imaginary numbers. This study identified the new perspective and way of mathematical thinking emerging from resolving the conflicts. Also educational implications of the analysis were discussed.

Let $k={\mathbb{F}}_q(T)$ and ${\mathbb{A}}={\mathbb{F}}_q[T]$. Fix a prime divisor ${\ell}$ q-1. In this paper, we consider a ${\ell}$-cyclic real function field $k(\sqrt[{\ell}]P)$ as a subfield of the imaginary bicyclic function field K = $k(\sqrt[{\ell}]P,\;(\sqrt[{\ell}]{-Q})$, which is a composite field of $k(\sqrt[{\ell}]P)$ wit a ${\ell}$-cyclic totally imaginary function field $k(\sqrt[{\ell}]{-Q})$ of class number one. und give various conditions for the class number of $k(\sqrt[{\ell}]{P})$ to be one by using invariants of the relatively cyclic unramified extensions $K/F_i$ over ${\ell}$-cyclic totally imaginary function field $F_i=k(\sqrt[{\ell}]{-P^iQ})$ for $1{\leq}i{\leq}{\ell}-1$.

For a ring R of imaginary quadratic integers, using a concept of a unitary number system in place of the Motzkin's universal side divisor, we show that the following statements are equivalent: (1) R is Euclidean. (2) R has a unitary number system. (3) R is norm-Euclidean. Through an application of the above theorem we see that R admits binary or ternary number systems if and only if R is Euclidean.

In [7], it was shown that Euclidean rings R of imaginary quadratic integers admit unitary number systems. In this paper, as an application of the result, we obtain all self similar tiles arising from the unitary number systems of R.

In this paper we study the infiniteness of Hilbert 2-class field towers of imaginary quadratic function fields over $\mathbb{F}_q(T)$, where $q$ is a power of an odd prime number.

A class invariant is the value of a modular function that generates a ring class field of an imaginary quadratic number field such as the singular moduli of level 1. In this paper, we compute the Galois actions of a class invariant from a generalized Weber function $g_1$ over imaginary quadratic number fields with discriminant $D{\equiv}64(mod72)$.

In the paper [4], we constructed 3-part of the Hilbert class field of imaginary quadratic fields whose class number is divisible exactly by 3. In this paper, we extend the result for any odd prime p.
