Abstract

Let be an odd prime number. We study growth patterns associated with finitely ramified Galois groups considered over the various number fields varying in a -tower. These Galois groups can be considered as non-commutative analogues of ray class groups. For certain -extensions in which a given prime above is completely split, we prove precise asymptotic lower bounds. Our investigations are motivated by the classical results of Iwasawa, who showed that there are growth patterns for -primary class numbers of the number fields in a -tower.
