Given a finite Galois extension K/Q, the units of the ring of integers of K canonically define a Z[Gal(K/Q)]-module M. If we extend scalars to Q, then its isomorphism class is determined by the signatures of the intermediate subfields of K/Q. It is much less clear what arithmetic properties are carried by the isomorphism class of M itself. We shall show that for some families of number fields, the isomorphism class of M is determined by data involving only class groups.
