Abstract

Let \ell and pp be odd primes. For a positive integer μ\mu let kμk_\mu be the ray class field of k=Q(e2πi/)k=\mathbb{Q}(e^{2\pi i/\ell}) modulo 2pμ2p^\mu. We present certain class fields KμK_\mu of kk such that kμKμkμ+1k_\mu\leq K_\mu\leq k_{\mu+1}, and find the degree of Kμ/kμK_\mu/k_\mu explicitly. And we also construct, in the sense of Hilbert, primitive generators of the field KμK_\mu over kμk_\mu by using Shimura's reciprocity law and special values of theta constants.
