Let $L/K$ be a finite real abelian extension, i.e. a finite, abelian extension such that $\\infty$ splits completely in $L$. Then we define a group of elliptic units $C_L$ in $\\mathcal{O}_L^\\times$ analogously to Sinnott's cyclotomic units and compute the index $[\\mathcal{O}_L^\\times:C_L]$. In the second part of this article, we additionally assume that $L$ is a cyclic extension of prime power degree. Then we can use the methods from Greither and Ku\\v{c}era to take certain roots of these elliptic units and prove a result on the annihilation of the $p$-part of the class group of $L$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-11-17T17:03:16.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11R20", "11R58", "11R27", "11G09" ], "keywords": [ "global function field", "ideal class group", "cyclic extension", "annihilators", "finite real abelian extension" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 31, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
