Abstract

The aim of the present paper is to establish relations between Iwasawa and Bernoulli numbers based on some results by M. Kervaire and M. P. Murthy about the structure of the K0K_0 groups of the integer group rings of cyclic groups of prime power order pn.p^n . In particular, we will prove that λip1\lambda_{i}\leq p-1 under assumption that the generalized Bernoulli number B1,ωiB_{1,\omega^{-i}} is not divisible by p2p^2. Here ω\omega is the Teichm\"{u}ller character of Z/(p1)Z\mathbb{Z}/(p-1)\mathbb{Z}. λi=1\lambda_{i}=1 if B1,ωiB_{1,\omega^{-i}} is divisible by p2p^2. We will prove that Sn,iZ/(pn+ki)S_{n,i}\cong \mathbb{Z}/(p^{n+k_i}), where SnS_n is the Sylow pp-subgroup of the class group of the field Q(ζn)\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_n). Here, ζn\zeta_n is a primitive pn+1p^{n+1}-root of unity, εi\varepsilon_{i} are idempotents in the group ring Zp[Gal(Q(ζ0)/Q)]{\mathbb Z}_{p}[{\rm Gal}(\mathbb{Q} (\zeta_0) /\mathbb{Q})], Sn,i=εi(Sn)S_{n,i}=\varepsilon_i (S_n), and kik_i is the pp-adic valuation of B1,ωiB_{1,\omega^{-i}}. At the end we will prove that ki1k_i \leq 1 and also vp(Lp(0,ωj))1v_p (L_p (0, \omega^j))\leq 1 for even jj under certain conditions on zeroes of Lp(0,ωj).L_p (0, \omega^j) . Throughout the paper we assume that pp satisfies Vandiver's conjecture.
