Tate sequences and lower bounds for ranks of class groups

Cornelius Greither (2013)

Acta Arithmetica

Tate sequences play a major role in modern algebraic number theory. The extension class of a Tate sequence is a very subtle invariant which comes from class field theory and is hard to grasp. In this short paper we demonstrate that one can extract information from a Tate sequence without knowing the extension class in two particular situations. For certain totally real fields K we will find lower bounds for the rank of the ℓ-part of the class group Cl(K), and for certain CM fields we will find lower...

The period-index problem in WC-groups IV: a local transition theorem

Pete L. Clark (2010)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Let K be a complete discretely valued field with perfect residue field k . Assuming upper bounds on the relation between period and index for WC-groups over k , we deduce corresponding upper bounds on the relation between period and index for WC-groups over K . Up to a constant depending only on the dimension of the torsor, we recover theorems of Lichtenbaum and Milne in a “duality free” context. Our techniques include the use of LLR models of torsors under abelian varieties with good reduction and...
