AbstractThe aim of this paper is to study the group of elliptic units of a cyclic extension $L$ of an imaginary quadratic field $K$ such that the degree $[L:K]$ is a power of an odd prime $p$. We construct an explicit root of the usual top generator of this group, and we use it to obtain an annihilation result of the $p$-Sylow subgroup of the ideal class group of $L$.

In this article we exhibit a method complementary to the method presented in [4], that allows us, at least in some important cases, to obtain exact expressions for the orders of ideal classes of cyclotomic fields in terms of properties of the units of the field. We consider only the particular case in which the classes belong to the p-Sylow subgroup (A)p of the ideal class group of a real p-cyclotomic field, but it appears that the results can be generalized.

AbstractLet n(≥ 3) be an odd integer. Let k:= $\Q(\sqrt{4-3^n})\)$ be the imaginary quadratic field and k′:= $\Q(\sqrt{-3(4-3^n)})\)$ the real quadratic field. In this paper, we prove that the class number of k is divisible by 3 unconditionally, and the class number of k′ is divisible by 3 if n(≥ 9) is divisible by 3. Moreover, we prove that the 3-rank of the ideal class group of k is at least 2 if n(≥ 9) is divisible by 3.

AbstractA formula is obtained for the rank of the 2-Sylow subgroup of the ideal class group of imaginary bicyclic biquadratic fields. This formula involves the number of primes that ramify in the field, the ranks of the 2-Sylow subgroups of the ideal class groups of the quadratic subfields and the rank of a Z2-matrix determined by Legendre symbols involving pairs of ramified primes. As applications, all subfields with both 2- class and class group Z2×Z2 are determined. The final results assume the completeness of D. A. Buell’s list of imaginary fields with small class numbers.
