Capitulation Types of Pure Cubic Fields with Bicyclic 3-Class Group

The capitulation type of the normal closure of a pure cubic field records how the 3-part of its ideal class group becomes principal (capitulates) in each unramified cyclic cubic extension, encoded as the kernels of Artin transfer homomorphisms. For pure cubic fields whose sextic dihedral normal closure has an elementary bicyclic 3-class group and a conductor of prescribed shape, more capitulation types occur than a widely cited earlier classification allowed, and the flawed group-theoretic elimination argument behind that classification is identified and corrected.
