Invariants of ℚ(i) #

For K generated over ℚ by an algebraic integer θ with minpoly ℤ θ = X² + 1: the radicand −1 is 3 modulo 4, so the quadratic-field theory of the radicand presentation applies directly: 𝓞 K = ℤ[θ], the field is monogenic with index 1, and discr K = 4 · (−1) = −4. The negative radicand rules out real places, so the signature is (0, 1) and the intrinsic label prefix is 2.0.4. The discriminant is below the quadratic Minkowski threshold, so 𝓞 K is a principal ideal domain and the class number is 1.
