Abstract
Résumé

Let $A$ be an abelian variety defined over a number field $K$ . Fix a prime $p$ and a natural number $n$ and consider the field $K_{n}$ , obtained by adjoining to $K$ all the coordinates of the $p^{n}$ -torsion points of $A$ . We give a lower bound on the $p$ -part of the class group of $K_{n}$ for large $n$ , by finding a large unramified extension of $K_{n}$ . This lower bound depends on the Mordell–Weil rank of $A$ and the reduction of $p$ -torsion points modulo primes above $p$ .

Soit $A$ une variété abélienne définie sur un corps de nombres $K$ . On fixe un nombre premier $p$ et pour tout nombre naturel $n,$ on note $K_{n}$ le corps engendré sur $K$ par les coordonnées des points de $p^{n}$ -torsion de $A$ . Nous donnons une minoration de l’ordre de la $p$ -partie du groupe de classes de $K_{n}$ pour $n ≫ 0$ , en construisant une extension non ramifiée suffisamment grande de $K_{n} .$ Cette minoration dépend du rang du groupe de Mordell–Weil de $A$ et de la réduction des points de $p$ -torsion en nombres premiers au-dessus de $p$ .
