On unramified cyclic extensions of degree l of algebraic number fields of degree l

Abstract

Let I be an odd prime number and let K be an algebraic number field of degree I. Let M denote the genus field of K, i.e., the maximal extension of K which is a composite of an absolute abelian number field with K and is unramified at all the finite primes of K. In [4] Ishida has explicitly constructed M. Therefore it is of some interest to investigate unramified cyclic extensions of K of degree l, which are not contained in M. In the preceding paper [6] we have obtained some results about this problem in the case that K is a pure cubic field. The purpose of this paper is to extend those results.
