associated to a ray class group by class field theory, and its Galois group is isomorphic to the corresponding ray class group. The proof of existence of a ray class field of a given ray class group is long and indirect and there is in general no known easy way to construct it (though explicit

The term "ray class group" is a translation of the German term "Strahlklassengruppe". Here "Strahl" is German for ray, and often means the positive real line, which appears in the positivity conditions defining ray class groups.

The ray class groups defined using ideles are naturally isomorphic to those defined using ideals. They are sometimes easier to handle theoretically because they are all quotients of a single group, and thus easier to compare.

Weber introduced ray class groups in 1897. Takagi proved the existence of the corresponding ray class fields in about 1920. Chevalley reformulated the definition of ray class groups in terms of ideles in 1933.
