Let p be an odd prime and d be a positive integer prime to p such that d ≢ 2 mod 4. For technical reasons, we also assume that . For each integer n ≥ 1, we choose a primitive nth root ζn of 1 so that whenever n | m. Let be its cyclotomic Zp-extension, where is the nth layer of this extension. For n ≤ 1, we denote the Galois group Ga\(Kn/K0) by Gn, the unit group of the ring of integers of Kn by En, and the group of cyclotomic units of Kn by Cn. For the definition and basic properties of cyclotomic units such as the index theorem, we refer [6] and [7]. In this paper we examine the injectivity of the homomorphism between the first cohomology groups induced by the inclusion Cn → En.
