Abstract

Let p > 2 be a prime number and let N be any rational integer. We consider the p-class groups Cl(L), Cl(M) of the fields L:=Q(N1/p)L:=Q(N^{1/p}) and M:=Q(N1/p,μp)M:=Q(N^{1/p},\mu_p), by comparison with the p-torsion groups T(L) and T(M) of the abelian p-ramification theory, in the framework of the reflection theorem, and obtain relations between the ranks of the isotypic components (Theorem 2.6). For p=3, we characterize the integers N such that L is 3-rational (i.e., T(L)=1), giving the following values: N=3N=3; N=3dN=3^d \ell, =1+3u\ell = -1+ 3u; N=3dN=3^d \ell, =(1+3a)2+27b2\ell=(1+3a)^2+27b^2, with \ell prime and uabuab prime to 3 (Theorem 2.18). We show that the 3-class group Cl(L) is trivial if and only Cl(M) is trivial (Theorem 2.19). We give various tables with PARI/GP programs computing the structure of Cl(L), Cl(M), T(L), T(M), and of the logarithmic class groups (Appendix A, B, C).
