This paper studies infinite class field towers of number fields $K$ that are ramified over $\Q$ only at one finite prime. In particular, we show the existence of such towers for a general family of primes including $p=2$, 3 and 5.

We generalize Schoof's theorem in 1986 and apply this to construct a class of Kummer extensions of the cyclotomic fields with infinite class tower. As an application, we give some number fields with a small root discriminant, which has an…

This paper gives examples of function fields $K_0$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of $p$ power order ramified only at one finite regular prime over $\mathbb{F}_q(t)$, which admit infinite Hilbert $p$-class field towers. Such a $K_0$ can…

Let $\ell>2$ be a positive integer, $\zeta_\ell$ a primitive $\ell$-th root of unity, and $K$ a number field containing $\zeta_\ell+\zeta_\ell^{-1}$ but not $\zeta_\ell$. In a recent paper, Chonoles et. al. study iterated towers of number…

For quadratic fields \(k=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d})\) with discriminant \(d\), \(3\)-class group \(\mathrm{Cl}_3(k)\simeq (\mathbb{Z}/3\mathbb{Z})^2\), and four \textit{simple} \(3\)-principalization types \(\varkappa(k)\in\lbrace…

Let $K$ be a number field and $d_K$ the absolute value of the discrimant of $K/\mathbb{Q}$. We consider the root discriminant $d_L^{\frac{1}{[L:\mathbb{Q}]}}$ of extensions $L/K$. We show that for any $N>0$ and any positive integer n, the…

Given a prime $p$, a number field $\K$ and a finite set of places $S$ of $\K$, let $\K_S$ be the maximal pro-$p$ extension of $\K$ unramified outside $S$. Using the Golod-Shafarevich criterion one can often show that $\K_S/\K$ is infinite.…

In this work, we show that given a finite p-group G, a number field K having a trivial p-class group Cl K , and a finite set of primes S of K, there exists a finite extension F/K such that the S-split p-Hilbert class field tower L S p (F )…

Over all non-prime finite fields, we construct some recursive towers of function fields with many rational places. Thus we obtain a substantial improvement on all known lower bounds for Ihara's quantity $A(\ell)$, for $\ell = p^n$ with $p$…

We consider a tower of function fields F_0 < F_1 < ... over a finite field such that every place of every F_i ramified in the tower and the sequence genus(F_i)/[F_i:F_0] has a finite limit. We also construct a tower in which every place…

The p-class tower $F_p^\infty(k)$ of a number field k is its maximal unramified pro-p extension. It is considered to be known when the p-tower group, that is the Galois group $G:=Gal(F_p^\infty(k)/k)$, can be identified by an explicit…

Let $p$ be a prime and let $\mathbb{Q}_p$ be the field of $p$-adic numbers. It is known that the finite extensions of $\mathbb{Q}_p$ of a given degree are finite up to isomorphism. Given a cubic field extension $L$ of $\mathbb{Q}_p$…
