Abstract
English
This thesis constist of three parts. The first one considers the so called split prime Z_p extension over an imaginary quadratic field in which the rational prime p splits. In this setup we discuss the mu=0 conjecture as well as the main conjecture for finite abelian extensions of K. The second part of the thesis concentrates on the cyclotomic Z_p extension of a CM number field. We give a Galois theoretic interpretation of the Gross and the Gross-Kuzmin conjecture under mild assumptions on K. In the third part we specialize to the case of p=2. He we look at the capitulation problem along the cyclotomic Z_2 extension in CM fields and determine the class groups of the finite layers of the cyclotomic Z_2 extension for a certain family of biquadratic base fields.
