In mathematics, a ring class field is the abelian extension of an algebraic number field K associated by class field theory to the ring class group of some order O of the ring of integers of K. In mathematics, a ring class field is the abelian extension of an algebraic number field K associated by class field theory to the ring class group of some order O of the ring of integers of K. Let K be an algebraic number field. Let L be the ring class field for order Z in number field K=Q(√-n).
