The ring of integers of an Abelian extension of an algebraic number field as a Galois module

The ringO of integers of a finite Abelian extension K of an algebraic number field k is studied as a module over the group ring =G], where is the ring of integers of k and G is the Galois group of K/k. It is proved that the ring is a decomposable -module if and only if there exists in K/k an intermediate extension K/F. FK, whose degree divides the different.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta. im. V. A. Steklova AN SSSR, Vol. 71, pp. 80–84, 1977.
