Study of the level of certain fields (Q1280209)

For an irreducible polynomial \(X^n + d\) over the rationals, the author computes the level of the field \(\mathbb{Q}[X]/(X^n + d)\). He also computes the levels of cyclotomic extensions of \(p\)-adic completions of the rational number field. In the case of the dyadic ground field it is essential to know the order of 2 in the residue class group modulo a prime, and the author supplies an algorithm for a computation of that order.
