A. L. Smirnov

St. Petersburg Department of Steklov Mathematical Institute of Russian Academy of Sciences

Abstract: We consider Kummer's tower, i. e. a family of number fields obtained by means of extracting all possible radicals from a rational base. We construct a few series of units in the tower where the base is equal to two and three.

Key words and phrases: Kummer's tower, explicit units, cyclotomic units, elliptic units.
