Extract

Let Q denote the field of rational numbers, and let p be an odd prime number. Let K be a cyclic extension of Q of degree p, and let a be a generator of Gal (KQ). Let CK denote the p-class group of K (i.e., the Sylow p-subgroup of the ideal class group of K), and let for i = 1, 2, 3, . It is well known that is an elementary abelian p-group of rank tt1, where t is the number of ramified primes in KQ. So we focus our attention on . We let
