Annihilators of the class group of a compositum of quadratic fields

Jan Herman (2013)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

This paper is devoted to a construction of new annihilators of the ideal class group of a tamely ramified compositum of quadratic fields. These annihilators are produced by a modified Rubin’s machinery. The aim of this modification is to give a stronger annihilation statement for this specific type of fields.

The cyclic subfield integer index

Bart de Smit (2000)

Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux

Similarity:

In this note we consider the index in the ring of integers of an abelian extension of a number field K of the additive subgroup generated by integers which lie in subfields that are cyclic over K . This index is finite, it only depends on the Galois group and the degree of K , and we give an explicit combinatorial formula for it. When generalizing to more general Dedekind domains, a correction term can be needed if there is an inseparable extension of residue fields. We identify this correction...

Class groups of abelian fields, and the main conjecture

Cornelius Greither (1992)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Similarity:

This first part of this paper gives a proof of the main conjecture of Iwasawa theory for abelian base fields, including the case p = 2 , by Kolyvagin’s method of Euler systems. On the way, one obtains a general result on local units modulo circular units. This is then used to deduce theorems on the order of χ -parts of p -class groups of abelian number fields: first for relative class groups of real fields (again including the case p = 2 ). As a consequence, a generalization of the Gras conjecture...
