On the center of Galois groups of maximal pro-p extensions of algebraic number fields with restricted ramification.
For an algebraic number field and a prime , define the number to be the maximal number such that there exists a Galois extension of whose Galois group is a free pro--group of rank . The Leopoldt conjecture implies , ( denotes the number of complex places of ). Some examples of and with have been known so far. In this note, the invariant is studied, and among other things some examples with are given.
