3-rank of ambiguous class groups of cubic Kummer extensions

Abstract: Let

k = k_{0} (s q r t [3] d)

be a cubic Kummer extension of

k_{0} = m a t h b b Q (z e t a_{3})

with

d > 1

a cube-free integer and

z e t a_{3}

a primitive third root of unity. Denote by

C_{k, 3}^{(s i g m a)}

the

3

-group of ambiguous classes of the extension

k / k_{0}

with relative group

G = o p e r a t o r n a m e G a l (k / k_{0}) = l a n g l e s i g m a a n g l e

. The aims of this paper are to characterize all extensions

k / k_{0}

with cyclic

C_{k, 3}^{(s i g m a)}

of order

, to investigate the multiplicity

m (f)

of the conductors

f

of these abelian extensions

k / k_{0}

, and to classify the fields

k

according to the cohomology of their unit groups

E_{k}

as Galois modules over

G

. The techniques employed for reaching these goals are relative

, the Herbrand quotient of

, and central orthogonal idempotents. All theoretical achievements are underpinned by extensive computational results.
