Let $K=\\Q(\\zeta)$ be the $p$-cyclotomic field. From Kummer and class field theory, there exist Galois extensions $S/\\Q$ of degree $p(p-1)$ such that $S/K$ is a cyclic unramified extension of degree $[S:K]=p$. We give an algebraic construction of the subfields $M$ of $S$ with degree $[M:\\Q]=p$ and an explicit formula for the prime decomposition and ramification of the prime number $p$ in the extensions $S/K$, $M/\\Q$ and $S/M$. In the last section, we examine the consequences of these results for the Vandiver's conjecture. This article is at elementary level on Classical Algebraic Number Theory.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v8", "updated": "2009-10-19T08:22:20.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11R18", "11R29", "11R32" ], "keywords": [ "cyclotomic field", "singular integers", "p-class group", "classical algebraic number theory", "class field theory" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2006math......9410Q" } } }
