+# Martinet's totally real class-field towers
+
+Jacques Martinet's construction of a totally real number field with an infinite unramified
+2-class-field tower gives an infinite family of totally real number fields of unbounded degree and
+bounded root discriminant. This is the benchmark statement corresponding to the classical input
+used in the formalization of the real sum-product counterexample.
+
+Assuming Martinet's Proposition 4.1 and Example 4.2: there is a totally real degree-four field
+`k'` with an infinite unramified 2-class-field tower and root discriminant
+`ρ = 4 * sqrt (3 * 5 * 7 * 23 * 29) < 1059`. Finite layers `K / k'` in the tower have unbounded
+degrees, remain totally real, and are unramified at finite primes, so
+`|discr K| = |discr k'| ^ [K : k'] = ρ ^ [K : ℚ]`. Hence `C = ρ` works.

+
+There is an absolute constant `C > 0` such that for arbitrarily large degrees `d` there exists a
+totally real number field `K / ℚ` of degree `d` whose discriminant satisfies `|Δ_K| ≤ C ^ d`.
