FORMULA
According to Theorem 3.12 on page 435 of "The distribution of second p-class groups on coclass graphs", the coclass of the group M is given by cc(M)+1=log_3(h_3(L_2)), where h_3(L_2) is the second largest 3-class number among the four unramified cyclic cubic extensions L_1,..,L_4 of the quadratic field K. Thus, cc(M) is determined uniquely by the IPAD of K.
EXAMPLE
We have cc(M)=1 for d=32009, cc(M)=2 for d=214712, cc(M)=3 for d=710652, cc(M)=4 for d=8127208, cc(M)=5 for d=180527768. The Magma script "SiftRealIPADs.m" produces a table "IpadFreqReal" of minimal discriminants for each IPAD from the file ipad_freq_real. This table admits the determination of the term a(n) of the sequence A379524. For instance: According to the FORMULA, the table contains three candidates for a(4) with cc(M)=4 and thus cc(M)+1=5=log_3(3^5)=log_3(#[9,27])=log_3(h_3(L_2)) with the second largest 3-class number h_3(L_2) in the IPAD. They are 8321505 and 8491713 and 8127208. Thus the minimal discriminant is a(4)=8127208.
