| Description | Let k be a tamely ramified imaginary compositum of quadratic fields. The aim of the paper is to construct new explicit annihilators of the class group of k not belonging to the Stickelberger ideal. These new annihilators are obtained as quotients of elements of the Stickelberger ideal, the usual source of annihilators, by suitable powers of 2. |
