Abstract:
Let $\ell$ be a regular odd prime, $K$ the $\ell$ th cyclotomic field and
$K=k(\sqrt[\ell]{a}\,)$, where $a$ is a positive integer. Under the
assumption that there are exactly three places ramified in the extension
$K_\infty/k_\infty$, we study the $\ell$-component of the class group of the
field $K$. We prove that in the case $\ell>3$ there always is an unramified
extension $\mathcal{N}/K$ such that $G(\mathcal{N}/K)\cong (\mathbb
Z/\ell\mathbb Z)^2$ and all places over $\ell$ split completely in the
extension $\mathcal{N}/K$. In the case $\ell=3$ we give a complete
description of the situation. Some other results are obtained.
