Even prime discriminants #
The genus-field layer of the multiquadratic roadmap uses the prime discriminants dividing a
quadratic discriminant. The odd-prime normalization p* is developed in
TauCeti.NumberTheory.Multiquadratic.Prime.Discriminant.Basic; this file records the complementary
2-adic list:
-4, represented by the squarefree radicand-1;8, represented by the squarefree radicand2;-8, represented by the squarefree radicand-2.
The quotient by 4 is the radicand whose square root generates the same quadratic field as
the corresponding even prime discriminant. This is the small arithmetic API needed before the
later genus-field package can form the multiquadratic compositum of the ℚ(√p*) factors.

The defining disjunction for IsEvenPrimeDiscriminant.
The squarefree radicand associated to an even prime discriminant. For D = -4, 8, -8
this gives respectively -1, 2, -2.
