[parent] abelian number field (Definition)
Definition 1   An abelian number field is a number field $K$ such that $K/\Rats$ is an abelian extension, i.e. $K/\Rats$ is Galois and $\Gal(K/\Rats)$ is an abelian group.

The abelian number fields are classified by the Kronecker-Weber Theorem.

Definition 2   A cyclic number field is an (abelian) number field $K$ such that $K/\Rats$ is a Galois extension and $\Gal(K/\Rats)$ is a finite cyclic group (therefore abelian).



"abelian number field" is owned by alozano.
