Abstract: We construct 'etale generalized Heisenberg group covers of hyperelliptic curves over number fields. We use these to produce infinite families of quadratic extensions of cyclotomic fields that admit everywhere unramified generalized Heisenberg Galois extensions.

Review text

This paper deals with the problem of constructing Galois extensions \(M/L\), with prescribed Galois group \(G\) and restricted ramification, where \(L\) is a number field of bounded degree over a base field \(K\). Specifically, the authors succeed in constructing infinitely many such extensions where: \begin{itemize} \item \(K\) is a cyclotomic extension of \(\mathbb{Q}\), \item \(L\) a quadratic extension of \(K\), \item \(G\) the Heisenberg group of \(3\times 3\) unipotent matrices with coefficients in \(\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}\), \item \(M/L\) is unramified at all finite places of \(L\). \end{itemize} Existing results show that it is sufficient for this to construct a \(G\)-cover \(C' \to C\) of algebraic curves with appropriate properties. The main theorem of the paper does just that, with \(C\) a hyperelliptic curve. The authors state that the result can probably be extended to more general nilpotent groups, at the cost of dealing with higher Massey products.
