These invariants have proved to be a valuable information for determining the Galois 2 group G p of the second Hilbert p-class field and the p-capitulation type of K. For p = 3 and a number field K with elementary p-class group of rank two, all possible IPADs are given in the complete form of several infinite sequences. Iterated IPADs of second order are used to identify ∞ the group G p of the maximal unramified pro-p extension of K.

Introduction After a thorough discussion of the terminology used in this article, such as the logarithmic and power form of abelian type invariants in Section 2, and multilayered transfer target types (TTTs), ordered and accumulated index- p abelianization data (IPADs) up to the third order in Section 3, we state the main results on IPADs of exceptional form in Section 3.1, and on IPADs in parametrized infinite sequences in Section 3.2.
