Description for Galois Theory of P-extensions
Hardback. After introducing the theory of pro-p groups and their cohomology, this text discusses presentations of the Galois groups G S of maximal p-extensions of number fields that are unramified outside a given set S of primes. It computes generators, relations and the cohomological dimension of some G S. Translator(s): Lemmermeyer, Franz. Series: Springer Monographs in Mathematics. Num Pages: 191 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBF; PBG. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 12. Weight in Grams: 1050.
First published in German in 1970 and translated into Russian in 1973, this classic now becomes available in English. After introducing the theory of pro-p groups and their cohomology, it discusses presentations of the Galois groups G S of maximal p-extensions of number fields that are unramified outside a given set S of primes. It computes generators and relations as well as the cohomological dimension of some G S, and gives applications to infinite class field towers.The book demonstrates that the cohomology of groups is very useful for studying Galois theory of number fields; at the same time, it offers ...

Reviews for Galois Theory of P-extensions
From the reviews: Most algebraic number theorists have had occasion to refer to Helmut Koch's Galloissche Theorie der p-Erweiterungen, first published some thirty years ago and still an essential reference on the subject of p-extensions (that is, Galois extensions whose Galois groups are p-groups) of algebraic number fields. But readers like myself have found ourselves ... Read more
