Tóm tắt

Let $$K/\mathbb {Q}$$ be a real cyclic extension of degree divisible by p. We analyze the statement of the “Real Abelian Main Conjecture”, for the p-class group $${\mathscr {H}}_K$$ of K. The classical algebraic definition of the p-adic isotypic components, $${\mathscr {H}}^\textrm{alg}_{K,\varphi }$$ , for p-adic characters $$\varphi = \varphi _0^{} \varphi _p$$ ( $$\varphi _0$$ of prime-to-p order, $$\varphi _p$$ of p-power order), is inappropriate with respect to analytic formulas, because of capitulation of p-classes in the p-sub-extension of $$K/\mathbb {Q}$$ . In the 1970’s we have given an arithmetic definition, $${\mathscr {H}}^{\textrm{ar}}_{K,\varphi }$$ , and formulated the conjecture, still unproven, $$\#{\mathscr {H}}^{\textrm{ar}}_{K,\varphi } = \#({\mathscr {E}}_K / \widehat{{\mathscr {E}}}_K \, {\mathscr {F}}_{\!K})_{\varphi _{0}^{}}$$ , in terms of units $${\mathscr {E}}_K$$ , $$\widehat{{\mathscr {E}}}_K$$ (units of the strict subfields) and $${\mathscr {F}}_{\!K}$$ (Leopoldt’s cyclotomic units). We prove here that the conjecture holds as soon as there exists a prime $$\ell $$ , totally inert in K, such that $${\mathscr {H}}_K$$ capitulates in $$K(\mu _\ell ^{})$$ , existence having been checked, in various circumstances, as a promising new tool. An Appendix of numerical examples is given with PARI programs. A second Appendix deals with the special case $$ K \cap \mathbb {Q}(\mu _{p^\infty }^{})^+ \ne \mathbb {Q}$$ .
