Let k be an algebraic number field of finite degree over the rational field~ and let K/k be a Zp-extension" a Galois extension with Galois group isomorphic to the additive group Zp of p-adic integers (p is a prime number). For each integer n> 0, there is a unique subfield k, of K of degree p" over k. Let h, be the class number of k, and let pen be the exact power of p dividing h,. Iwasawa has proved that there exist integers 2,/~, and v, independent of n, such that e,= 2,+/~ p"+ v for all sufficiently large n. It is natural to ask whether or not anything similar can be said about the power of¢ dividing h,, where f is a prime not equal to p. The purpose of this paper is to investigate this question.
