Extract
Let k be an algebraic number field of finite degree and be a prime ideal of k, lying above a rational prime p. We denote by G (
) the multiplicative group of residue classes modulo
(N ≧ 0) which are relatively prime to
. The structure of G (
) is well-known, when N = 0, or k is the rational number field Q. If k is a quadratic number field, then the direct decomposition of G (
) is determined by A. Ranum [6] and F.H-Koch [4] who gives a basis of a group of principal units in the local quadratic number field according to H. Hasse [2]. In [5, Theorem 6.2], W. Narkiewicz obtains necessary and sufficient conditions so that G (
) is cyclic, in connection with a group of units in the
-adic completion of k.
