This paper studies the $4$-ranks of narrow class groups in certain families of quadratic fields. We prove that for any positive integer n, there exists an integer $s_\lambda (n)$ depending on n and the sign $\lambda $ of the fundamental discriminant D, such that for any choice of $s_\lambda (n)$ integers $t_1, \ldots , t_{s_\lambda (n)}$, there are infinitely many D for which the narrow class group of $\mathbb {Q}(\sqrt {D + t_i})$ has $4$-rank bounded by n for all i. This result extends previous work on $3$-ranks to the case of $4$-ranks.
Let K be a number field. For which primes p does there exist an elliptic curve $E / K$ admitting a K-rational p-isogeny? Although we have an answer to this question over the rationals, extending this to other number fields is a fundamental open problem in number theory. In this paper, we study this question in the case that K is a quadratic field, subject to the assumption that E is semistable at the primes of K above p. We prove results both for families of quadratic fields and for specific quadratic fields.
