Exponents of the ideal class groups of CM number fields
نویسندگان
چکیده
Since class numbers of CM number fields of a given degree go to infinity with the absolute values of their discriminants, it is reasonable to ask whether the same conclusion still holds true for the exponents of their ideal class groups. We prove that under the assumption of the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis this is indeed the case. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification. Primary 11R29, 11R21.

Determination of All Nonquadratic Imaginary Cyclic Number Fields of 2-power Degrees with Ideal Class Groups of Exponents
We determine all nonquadratic imaginary cyclic number fields K of 2-power degrees with ideal class groups of exponents < 2, i.e., with ideal class groups such that the square of each ideal class is the principal class, i.e., such that the ideal class groups are isomorphic to some (Z/2Z)m , m > 0. There are 38 such number fields: 33 of them are quartic ones (see Theorem 13), 4 of them are octic ...
متن کاملIdeal Class Groups of Cyclotomic Number Fields I
Following Hasse’s example, various authors have been deriving divisibility properties of minus class numbers of cyclotomic fields by carefully examining the analytic class number formula. In this paper we will show how to generalize these results to CM-fields by using class field theory. Although we will only need some special cases, we have also decided to include a few results on Hasse’s unit...
متن کاملOn the Structure of Ideal Class Groups of CM - Fields dedicated to Professor K . Kato on his 50 th birthday
For a CM-field K which is abelian over a totally real number field k and a prime number p, we show that the structure of the χ-component AχK of the p-component of the class group of K is determined by Stickelberger elements (zeta values) (of fields containing K) for an odd character χ of Gal(K/k) satisfying certain conditions. This is a generalization of a theorem of Kolyvagin and Rubin. We def...

متن کاملStickelberger ideals and Fitting ideals of class groups for abelian number fields
In this paper, we determine completely the initial Fitting ideal of the minus part of the ideal class group of an abelian number field over Q up to the 2-component. This answers an open question of Mazur and Wiles [11] up to the 2-component, and proves Conjecture 0.1 in [8]. We also study Brumer’s conjecture and prove a stronger version for a CM-field, assuming certain conditions, in particular...
