Abstract

Let 𝕂n be the intermediate steps in the cyclotomic ℤp-extension of a CM number field 𝕂. For p ⧧ 2 the minus part of the p-class groups is given by An = $\frac{1}{2}$(1 − j)An. We will give a new definition of the minus part for p = 2 and will prove that there is no finite submodule in lim∞←nAn. Furthermore we will show that μ = 0 if and only if μ = 0 in this new definition.
