Class Group Relations in a Function Field Analogue of {\mathbb Q}(\zeta_p, \sqrt[p]{n})

Publication date 17 November 2020

Abstract: For an odd prime

p

and polynomial

P (T)

, we consider the extension

F

of

k = {m a t h b b F}_{p} (T)

defined by adjoining a root of

x^{p} + T x - P (T)

. Such a field is a function field analogue of the number field

m a t h b b Q (s q r t [p] n)

. We prove two theorems about the Galois closure

L

of

F

: that its degree-0 divisor class group is

A^{p - 1}

for some group

A

, and that its class number is the

(p - 1)

-st power of the class number of

F

, in analogy with results of R. Schoof and T. Honda for number fields.
