Abstract
Let p\in\{2,3\}, and let k be an imaginary quadratic field in which p decomposes into two distinct primes \mathfrak{p} and \bar{\mathfrak{p}}. Let k_\infty be the unique Z_p-extension of k which is unramified outside of \mathfrak{p}, and let K_\infty be a finite extension of k_\infty, abelian over k. We prove that in K_\infty, the projective limit of the p-class group and the projective limit of units modulo elliptic units share the same \mu-invariant and the same \lambda-invariant. Then we prove that up to a constant, the characteristic ideal of the projective limit of the p-class group coincides with the characteristic ideal of the projective limit of units modulo elliptic units.
