Abstract

For any odd prime pp, the Galois group of the maximal unramified pro-pp-extension of an imaginary quadratic field is a Schur σ\sigma-group. But Schur σ\sigma-groups can also be constructed and studied abstractly. We prove that if p>3p>3, any Schur σ\sigma-group of Zassenhaus type (3,3)(3,3), for which every open subgroup has finite abelianization, is isomorphic to an open subgroup of a form of PGL2{\rm PGL}_2 over Qp{\mathbb Q}_p. Combined with earlier work on an analogue of the Cohen-Lenstra heuristic for Schur σ\sigma-groups, or with the Fontaine-Mazur conjecture, this lends credence to the ``if'' part of a conjecture of McLeman.
