Abstract

Let k be an algebraic number field of finite degree, and K a finite Galois extension of k. A central extension L of K/k is an algebraic number field which contains K and is normal over k, and whose Galois group over K is contained in the center of the Galois group Gal(L/k). We denote the maximal abelian extensions of k and K in the algebraic closure of k by kab and Kab respectively, and the maximal central extension of K/k by MCK/k. Then we have Kab⊃MCK/k⊃kab·K.
