Abstract

Let p be an odd prime, let \(K=\mathbb {Q}(\epsilon )\) where 𝜖 is a primitive cubic root of unity, and let L be the Kummer field \(\mathbb {Q}\left (\epsilon , \sqrt [3]{\alpha }\right )\). In this paper we obtain a characterization of the splitting behavior of the symbol algebras \(\left ( \frac {\alpha ,p}{K,\epsilon }\right )\) and \(\left ( \frac {\alpha ,p^{h_{p}}}{K,\epsilon }\right )\), where h p is the order in the class group \(Cl\left (L\right )\) of a prime ideal of \(\mathcal {O}_L\) which divides \(p\mathcal {O}_L.\)
