| Description | The aim of this paper is to study circular units in the compositum K of t cyclic extensions of Q (t ? 2) of the same odd prime degree l. If these fields are pairwise arithmetically orthogonal and the number s of primes ramifying in K/Q is larger than t, then a nontrivial root ? of the top generator ? of the group of circular units of K is constructed. This explicit unit ? is used to define an enlarged group of circular units of K, to show that l^{(s-t)l^{t-1}} divides the class number of K, and to prove an annihilation statement for the ideal class group of K. |
