Algebraic norm and capitulation of p-class groups in ramified cyclic p-extensions (2211.12279v3)

Published 22 Nov 2022 in math.NT

Abstract: We examine the phenomenon of capitulation of the $p$-class group $H_K$ of a real number field $K$ in totally ramified cyclic p-extensions $L/K$ of degree $pN$. Using an elementary property of the algebraic norm $\nu_{L/K}$, we show that the kernel of capitulation is in relation with the "complexity" of the structure of $H_L$ measured via its exponent $pe(L)$ and the length $m(L)$ of the usual filtration ${H_Li}_{i \ge 0}$ associated to $H_L$ as $Z_p[Gal(L/K)]$-module. We prove that a sufficient condition of capitulation is given by $e(L) \in [1, N-s(L)]$ if $m(L) \in [ps(L), ps(L+1)-1]$ for $s(L) \in [0, N-1]$ (Theorem 1.1); this improves the case of "stability" $#H_L = #H_K$ (i.e., $m(L) = 1$, $s(L)=0$, $e(L) = e(K)$) (Theorem 1.2). Numerical examples (with PARI programs) showing most often capitulation of $H_K$ in $L$, are given, taking the simplest abelian $p$-extensions $L < K(\mu_\ell$), with primes $\ell=1$ (mod $2pN$) over cubic fields with $p=2$ and real quadratic fields with $p=3$. Some conjectures on the existence of non-zero densities of such $\ell$'s are proposed (Conjectures 1.4, 2.4). Capitulation property of other arithmetic invariants is examined.
