Abstract

Let $K$ be an abelian extension of the rationals. Let $S(K)$ be the Schur group of $K$ and let $CC(K)$ be the subgroup of $S(K)$ generated by classes containing cyclic cyclotomic algebras. We characterize when $CC(K)$ has finite index in $S(K)$ in terms of the relative position of $K$ in the lattice of cyclotomic extensions of the rationals.<br />Comment: 12 pages
