Position of $mathbb{Z}[sqrt{-d}]$ in class hierarchy for all integers $d$

For any real number $d,$ define
$$mathbb{Z}[sqrt{-d}]: = {a+bsqrt{-d}: a,bin mathbb{Z}}.$$



It is well-known that $mathbb{Z}[sqrt{-2}]$ and $mathbb{Z}[sqrt{-1}]$ are ED but not fields,
$$mathbb{Z} bigg[ frac{1+sqrt{19}}{2} bigg]$$
is a PID but not ED, $mathbb{Z}[sqrt{-5}]$ and $mathbb{Z}[sqrt{-4}]$ are UFD but not PID.



What interests me is that different $d$ places $mathbb{Z}[sqrt{-d}]$ in different position in the class hierarchy.




Question: For all integer $d,$ do we know the position of $mathbb{Z}[sqrt{-d}]$ is the class hierarchy?

  • But more concretely; for $d=-14$ the ring has been known to be a UFD since the (early) 19th century, but has been shown to be Euclidean only in 2004. Which suggests that the answer for general $d$ is a firm no.

  • @Servaes So you are suggesting that $mathbb{Z}[sqrt{14}]$ is an ED? How does that gives a negative answer to my question?

    No, I am suggesting that determining where the ring is in the hierarchy is very difficult for most $d$.

  • @Servaes I see. However, I would be glad to see results for certain $d.$

  • To see if and how the unique factorization fails look at the ideals with $ mathbb{Z}[sqrt{-d}]/( I cap mathbb{Z}[sqrt{-d}]) to O_{mathbb{Q}(sqrt{-d})} / I $ not being an isomorphism
