Abstract.
Let E denote an unramified extension of \({{\bf Q}_p}\), and set \(F = E({\zeta_{p^n}})\) for an odd prime p and \(n \ge 1\). We determine the conductors of the Kummer extensions \(F({\root p^n \of{a}})\) of F by those elements \(a \in F{^{\times}}\) such that \(F({\root p^n \of{a}})/E\) is Galois. This follows from a comparison of the Galois module structure of \(F{^{\times}}\) with the unit filtration of F.
