Cyclotomic fields have occupied a central place in number theory, and the so called main conjecture on cyclotomic fields is arguably the deepest theorem known about them. This work presents the proof of the main conjecture'' for cyclotomic fields. It is useful to both graduate students and non-experts in Iwasawa theory. «
