Explicit computations in Iwasawa theory

Reinier Bröker, David Hubbard and Lawrence C. Washington

Vol. 2 (2019), No. 1, 137–153
Abstract

We give two algorithms to compute layers of the anticyclotomic 3-extension of an imaginary quadratic field. The first is based on complex multiplication techniques for nonmaximal orders; the second is based on Kummer theory. As an illustration of our results, we use the mirroring principle to derive results on the structure of class groups of nonmaximal orders.
