Primary rank of the class group of real cyclotomic fields

Publication date: 22 November 2019

Abstract: Let

H = m a t h b b Q (z e t a_{n} + {z e t a_{n}}^{- 1})

and

e l l

be an odd prime such that

q e q u i v 1 p m o d e l l

for some prime factor

q

of

n

. We get a bound on the

e l l

-rank of the class group of

H

(under some conditions) in terms of the

e l l

-rank of the class group of real quadratic subfield contained in

H

. This is an extension of a recent work of E. Agathocleous (with alternate hypothesis) where she handles

e l l = 3

case. As an application of our main result we relate the

e l l

-rank of real quadratic subfields of

H

.
