Abstract

We use a result of Y. Furuta to show that for almost all positive integers m, the cyclotomic field Q2 pi im))has an infinite Hilbert p-class field tower with high rank Galois groups at each step, simultaneously for all primes p of size up to about (log logm)1 + o(1). We also use a recent result of B. Schmidt to show that for infinitely many m there is an infinite Hilbert p-class field tower over Q2 pi im))for some pm0.3385 + o(1). These results have immediate applications to the divisibility properties of the class number of Q2 pi i/m).
