Über die absolute Galoisgruppe algebraischer Zahlkörper.
We investigate as Galois module the unit group of biquadratic extensions of number fields. The -rank of the first cohomology group of units of is computed for general . For imaginary quadratic we determine a large portion of the cases (including all unramified ) where the index takes its maximum value , where are units mod torsion of and are units mod torsion of one of the 3 quadratic subfields of .
