Fix a prime p, a number field K, and a finite set S of places of K none of which has residue characteristic p. Fix an algebraic closure K of K and let KS be the maximal p-extension of K inside K which is unramified outside S; it is the compositum of all finite p-power degree extensions of K unramified outside S. We assume that real places of K not contained in S do not complexify in the extensi...
