Cyclotomic Units and Class Groups in Zp-extensions of real abelian fields
نویسنده
چکیده
For a real abelian number field F and for a prime p we study the relation between the p-parts of the class groups and of the quotients of global units modulo cyclotomic units along the cyclotomic Zp-extension of F . Assuming Greenberg’s conjecture about the vanishing of the λ-invariant of the extension, a map between these groups has been constructed by several authors, and shown to be an isomorphism if p does not split in F . We focus in the split case, showing that there are, in general, non-trivial kernels and cokernels. 2000 Mathematical Subject Classification: 11R23, 11R29

1. Thaine’s “purely cyclotomic” method [Th88] for bounding the exponents of the ideal class groups of cyclotomic fields. The bounds that Thaine obtained were already known thanks to the proof of the Main Conjecture by Mazur andWiles, in which unramified abelian extensions of cyclotomic fields were constructed from reducible two-dimensional Galois representations occuring in the Jacobians of mod...
متن کاملLeopoldt’s Conjecture
The conjecture of Leopoldt states that the p adic regulator of a number field does not vanish. It was proved for the abelian case in 1967 by Brumer, using Baker theory. Let K be a galois extension of Q which contains the p−th roots of unity, K∞ be the cyclotomic Zp extension and H∞ the maximal p abelian unramified extension, ΩE ,ΩE′ the maximal p abelian extensions built by roots of units, resp...
متن کاملComplex Multiplication
Class field theory describes the abelian extensions of a number field using the arithmetic of that field. The Kronecker-Weber theorem states that all abelian extensions of the rationals are contained in cyclotomic fields. As we know, cyclotomic fields can be generated by special values of the exponential function e, and we call this the theory of complex multiplication for Gm. We would thus lik...

Iwasawa’s classical asymptotical formula relates the orders of the p-parts Xn of the ideal class groups along a Zp-extension F∞/F of a number field F , to Iwasawa structural invariants λ and μ attached to the inverse limit X∞ = lim ← Xn. It relies on ”good” descent properties satisfied by Xn. If F is abelian and F∞ is cyclotomic it is known that the p-parts of the order of the global units modu...
