Abstract:
Let $p$ be an odd prime number, and $K / \Q$ a totally imaginary finite abelian extension of the first kind, with the Galois group $Δ$. Let ${\cal U}_\infty$ (resp. ${\cal E}_\infty$ ) denote the projective limit of the semi-local units (resp. the global units) of the fields in the cyclotomic $\Zp$-extension of $K$. We will show that ${( {\cal U}_\infty / {\cal E}_\infty )}^+$ contains a cyclic $Λ [ Δ ]$-submodule of finite index.
