Cyclotomic Kummer splitting criterion implying SFLT2

At least 14 years old · documented by

Let p>3p>3 be prime and let (p,u,v)∈Z3(p,u,v)\in\mathbb Z^3 with uu and vv coprime and p∣vp\mid v. For a pp-principal prime qq with q∤puvq\nmid puv, let nn be the order of v/uv/u modulo qq, set ξ=e2πi/n\xi=e^{2\pi i/n}, and let M=Q(ξ,ζ)M=\mathbb Q(\xi,\zeta). Define q=(q,uξ−v)\mathfrak q=(q,u\xi-v). Cyclotomic Kummer splitting criterion. If every such triple admits a pp-principal prime qq for which q\mathfrak q is not totally split in

M(⟨εkε1−1⟩k=1,…,p−2p)/M,M\big(\sqrt[p]{\langle\varepsilon_k\varepsilon_1^{-1}\rangle_{k=1,\ldots,p-2}}\big)/M,

then SFLT2 holds. The conjecture is intended to turn a failure of SFLT2 into a simultaneous total-splitting condition in Kummer extensions; the source gives no resolution status.
