Abstract: In the present work we give the construction of the genus field and the extended genus field of an elementary abelian $l$-extension of a field of rational functions, where $l$ is a prime number. In the Kummer case, if $K$ is contained in a cyclotomic funtion field, the construction is given using Leopoldt's ideas by means of Dirichlet characters. Following the definition of Angl`es and Jaulent of extended Hilbert class field, we obtain the extended genus field of an elementary abelian $l$-extension of a field of rational functions.

Review text

The paper explores the characterization of the genus field and extended genus field for elementary abelian extensions of rational congruence function fields. By building on previous research, the authors provide explicit descriptions of these fields and extend the findings of \textit{G. Peng} [J. Number Theory 98, No. 2, 221--227 (2003; Zbl 1049.11116)] to elementary abelian \(l\)-extensions of degree \(l^m\). The significance of this work lies in its contribution to the understanding of genus fields for specific types of extensions. It connects different approaches in the field, such as the class field theory approach and the use of Dirichlet characters, showcasing the consistency and applicability of the authors' findings. The paper begins by providing the necessary background information on genus fields and related concepts. It summarizes previous research contributions, establishing the groundwork for the authors' own work on characterizing the genus field and extended genus field of elementary abelian extensions. This section sets the stage for the authors' research by highlighting the importance of their objectives and the previous contributions in the field. In the subsequent sections, the authors revisit the concept of the extended genus field for geometric extensions of congruence function fields. They introduce Theorem 2.11, which is essential for finding the extended genus field. This theorem establishes the connection between open subgroups of the idèle class group and the field of constants associated with the extended genus field. The authors provide the necessary definitions and theorems related to the extended genus field, emphasizing its significance and its relationship with other concepts in the field. The analysis of elementary abelian l-extensions in the following sections delves into their structure and properties. Introducing prime divisors associated with the elements defining the cyclic extensions in the compositum determining the class index group play an important role toward their goal. The role of ramification data is crucial in explicitly characterizing the genus field. The authors differentiate between the Kummer and non-Kummer cases, as well as the cyclotomic and non-cyclotomic cases, which play a key role in the structure of their proof. Overall, this paper adds to the existing body of knowledge on genus fields and provides valuable insights into the explicit determination of the genus field and extended genus field for elementary abelian extensions. The authors effectively connect different approaches and build on previous research, offering a comprehensive analysis of these fields in specific extension types.
