Abstract

top
Let p be an odd prime, χ an odd, p -adic Dirichlet character and K the cyclic imaginary extension of Q associated to χ . We define a “ χ -part” of the Sylow p -subgroup of the class group of K and prove a result relating its p -divisibility to that of the generalized Bernoulli number B 1 , χ - 1 . This uses the results of Mazur and Wiles in Iwasawa theory over Q . The more difficult case, in which p divides the order of χ is our chief concern. In this case the result is new and confirms an earlier conjecture of G. Gras.
