Abstract
Let be an irregular prime. Let be the -cyclotomic field. From Kummer and class field theory, there exist Galois extensions of degree such that is a cyclic unramified extension of degree . We give an algebraic construction of the subfields of with degree and an explicit formula for the prime decomposition and ramification of the prime number in the extensions , and . In the last section, we examine the consequences of these results for the Vandiver's conjecture. This article is at elementary level on Classical Algebraic Number Theory.
