Given F a real abelian field, p an odd prime and χ any Dirichlet character of F we give a method for computing the χ-index (H1(GS,ℤp(r))χ: CF(r)χ) where the Tate twist r is an odd integer r≥ 3, the group CF(r) is the group of higher circular units, GS is the Galois group over F of the maximal S ramified algebraic extension of F, and S is the set of places of F dividing p. This χ-index can now be computed in terms only of elementary arithmetic of finite fields \FM_ℓ. Our work generalizes previous results by Kurihara who used the assumption that the order of χ divides p-1.
