Abstract

We establish several close links between the Galois structures of a range of arithmetic modules including certain natural families of ray class groups, the values at strictly positive integers of p-adic Artin L-series, the Shafarevich–Weil Theorem and the conjectural surjectivity of certain norm maps in cyclotomic p-extensions. Non-commutative Iwasawa theory and the theory of organising matrices play a key role in our approach.

Acknowledgements

The first author is very grateful to Cornelius Greither for pointing out an error in an earlier version of the computations that are made in Section 4 and to Alexander Schmidt for advice concerning Leopoldt’s Conjecture.
