A note on Polya groups

Abstract: Let $K/\mathbf{Q}$ be a finite Galois extension. The P\'olya group of $K$ is the subgroup of the class group $Cl(K)$, generated by the classes of ambiguous ideals of $K$. In this note, among other results, we prove that every finite abelian group is isomorphic to the P\'olya group of a number field.
