Easy cases of Herbrand's theorem
$\def\QQ{\mathbb{Q}}\def\ZZ{\mathbb{Z}}$ I recall Herbrand's theorem about class groups of cyclotomic fields: Let $p$ be an odd prime, let $\zeta$ be a primitive $p$-th root of $1$ and let $K = \QQ(\...

Euler Systems and Coleman’s Conjecture
I’m trying to work on Coleman’s conjecture for abelian extensions of imaginary quadratic fields. I’ve read most papers by Seo regarding circular distributions. However, I’m a still confused about what ...

relating class number and narrow class number of a real field
I am interested in finding out when the narrow class number of $\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_p+\zeta_p^{-1})$ is the same as the class number of $\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_p+\zeta_p^{-1})$ where $\zeta_p$ is a primitive $...

Is there a pure algebraic proof of the problem about class number of imaginary quadratic field $p\nmid h_{\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-p})}?$
For $p\equiv3\pmod4$, let $h_{\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-p})}$ denote the class number of $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-p})$, the class number formula shows $h_{\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-p})} < p$. I wonder if there is a pure ...

Narrow class number of a the maximal totally real number field inside a cyclotomic field
I am wondering how much it is known about the narrow class number of the number field $\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_p+\zeta_p^{-1})$ ($p$ an odd prime). More precisely, I am interested to know when it is odd.
By ...

Definition of Euler system of cyclotomic units
I am not sure about my understanding of Euler system of cyclotomic unit. This is what I have learnt:
Let $F=\mathbb{Q}(\mu_m)$.
Let $\mathcal{I}(m)$ = {positive square free integers divisible only by ...
