Abstract

In this article we extend the main result of [2] concerning lower bounds for the exponent of the class group of CM-fields. We consider a number field K generated by a Salem number α. If k denotes the field fixed by α ↦ α-1 we prove, under the generalized Riemann hypothesis for the Dedekind zeta function of K, lower bounds for the relative exponent eK/k and the relative size hK/k of the class group of K with respect to the class group of k.
