5-rank of ambiguous class groups of quintic Kummer extensions

Abstract

Let k \,=\, Q([5]n,ζ5), where n is a positive integer, 5th power-free, whose 5-class group is isomorphic to Z/5Z×Z/5Z. Let k0\,=\,Q(ζ5) be the cyclotomic field containing a primitive 5th root of unity ζ5. Let Ck,5(σ) the group of the ambiguous classes under the action of Gal(k/k0) = <σ>. The aim of this paper is to determine all integers n such that the group of ambiguous classes Ck,5(σ) has rank 1 or 2.
