Abstract

We classify quadratic, biquadratic and degree 4 cyclic 2-rational number fields. We also classify those quadratic number fields which are not 2-rational, but have a degree 2 extension, which is Galois over Q and is 2-rational. In this case we explicitly describe the Galois group of their maximal pro-2 extension unramified outside 2 and infinity using a result of Herfort–Ribes–Zalesskii on virtually free pro-p groups.
