Abstract

Let \( K \) be a number field which is multiquadratic or quartic cyclic.
We prove several results about the Kummer extensions of \( K \), namely
concerning the intersection between the Kummer extensions and the cyclotomic
extensions of \( K \). For \( G \) a finitely generated subgroup of
\( K^\times \), we consider the cyclotomic-Kummer extensions

\[
K(\zeta_{nt},\sqrt[t]{G})/K(\zeta_t)
\]

for all positive integers \( n \) and \( t \), and we describe an explicit
finite procedure to compute at once the degree of all these extensions.


Keywords
