Tame kernels and further 4-rank densities

There has been recent progress on computing the 4-rank of the tame kernel for F a quadratic number field. For certain quadratic number fields, this progress has led to “density results” concerning the 4-rank of tame kernels. These results were first mentioned in Conner and Hurrelbrink (J. Number Theory 88 (2001) 263) and proven in Osburn (Acta Arith. 102 (2002) 45). In this paper, we consider some additional quadratic number fields and obtain further density results of 4-ranks of tame kernels. Additionally, we give tables which might indicate densities in some generality.
