In this paper we derive results, for exceptional number fields, about the relationship between the wild kernel, the group of divisible elements in K 2 (F), and classgroups of cyclotomic extensions at the prime 2. We prove that the group of divisible elements in K 2 (F) is generated by Dennis Stein s

β¦ Synopsis
For an infinite class of exceptional number fields, F ; we prove that a map of Keune from
to the 2-Sylow subgroup of the wild kernel of F is an isomorphism, and in all cases we give an upper bound for the kernel and cokernel of this map.
We find examples which show that the map is neither injective nor surjective in general.

We clarify the relationship between higher Γ©tale wild kernels of a number field at the prime 2 and the Galois-coinvariants of Tate-twisted class groups in the 2-cyclotomic tower of the field. We also determine the relationship between the Γ©tale wild kernel and the group of infinitely divisible eleme
It is shown that the wild kernel of Q(-d) contains the Steinberg element [&1, &1] as a non-trivial element for integers d<0 satisfying d#2 (mod 16).
