Abstract: | Let denote the locally free class group, that is the group of stable isomorphism classes of locally free -modules, where is the ring of algebraic integers in the number field and is a finite group. We show how to compute the Swan subgroup, , of when , a primitive -th root of unity, , where is an odd (rational) prime so that and 2 is inert in We show that, under these hypotheses, this calculation reduces to computing a quotient ring of a polynomial ring; we do the computations obtaining for several primes a nontrivial divisor of These calculations give an alternative proof that the fields for =11, 13, 19, 29, 37, 53, 59, and 61 are not Hilbert-Speiser. |
