Extract

We generate ray-class fields over imaginary quadratic fields in terms of Siegel–Ramachandra invariants, which are an extension of a result of Schertz. By making use of quotients of Siegel–Ramachandra invariants we also construct ray-class invariants over imaginary quadratic fields whose minimal polynomials have relatively small coefficients, from which we are able to solve certain quadratic Diophantine equations.
