Galois modules and class field theory

B. Erez


Abstract. This is a concise survey of links between Galois module theory and class field theory (CFT). It explores various uses of CFT in Galois module theory, it comments on the absence of CFT in contexts where it might be expected to play a role and indicates some lines of research that might bring CFT to play a more prominent role in Galois module theory.
Keywords. Galois module theory.
AMS subject classification. 11R99, 11S99.
