On 2 -class field towers of imaginary quadratic number fields

Franz Lemmermeyer (1994)

Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux

Similarity:

For a number field k , let k 1 denote its Hilbert 2 -class field, and put k 2 = ( k 1 ) 1 . We will determine all imaginary quadratic number fields k such that G = G a l ( k 2 / k ) is abelian or metacyclic, and we will give G in terms of generators and relations.

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...
