Abstract
Let p be either 17 or 19, let ℤ p denote the ring of p-adic integers, and let l be a prime number which is a primitive root modulo p 2. We shall prove, with the help of a computer, that the l-class group of the ℤ p -extension over the rational field is trivial. We shall also prove the triviality of the narrow 2-class group of the same ℤ p -extension.
