Certain Unramified Metabelian Extensions Using Lemmermeyer Factorizations
We study solutions to the Brauer embedding problem with restricted
ramification. Suppose and are a abelian groups, is a central
extension of by , and
a continuous
homomorphism. We determine conditions on the discriminant of that are
equivalent to the existence of an unramified lift
of
.
As a consequence of this result, we use conditions on the discriminant of
for abelian to classify and count unramified nonabelian
extensions normal over where the (nontrivial) commutator
subgroup of is contained in its center. This
generalizes a result due to Lemmermeyer, which states that a quadratic field
has an unramified extension normal over
with Galois group the quaternion group if and only if the discriminant
factors as a product of three coprime discriminants, at most
one of which is negative, satisfying the following condition on Legendre
symbols: for and
any prime dividing
