Abstract

Let pp be an odd prime and L/KL/K a pp-adic Lie extension whose Galois group is of the form Zpd1Zp\mathbb{Z}_p^{d-1}\rtimes \mathbb{Z}_p. Under certain assumptions on the ramification of pp and the structure of an Iwasawa module associated to LL, we study the asymptotic behaviours of the size of the pp-primary part of the ideal class groups over certain finite subextensions inside L/KL/K. This generalizes the classical result of Iwasawa and Cuoco-Monsky in the abelian case and gives a more precise formula than a recent result of Perbet in the non-commutative case when d=2d=2.
