The classification conjecture for unit reducible cyclotomic fields

Let KN=Q(ζN)K_N=\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_N) be the cyclotomic field of conductor NN, where ζN\zeta_N is a primitive NNth root of unity. A cyclotomic field is unit reducible if it has the unit-reducibility property defined in the paper. The authors' conjecture. The cyclotomic fields KNK_N where N=3,4,5,7,8,9,11,12,15,20,21,24N=3,4,5,7,8,9,11,12,15,20,21,24 are the only unit reducible cyclotomic fields. Determining the complete list of unit reducible cyclotomic fields is the principal open problem identified by the authors; the paper establishes that only finitely many such fields exist but does not determine the entire list.
