Summary: 

Let ST be the maximal pro-p-extension of the cyclotomic ℤp-extension Kcyc of a number field K, unramified outside the places above S and totally split at the places above T. Let ST=Gal(ST/K).

In this work we adapt the methods developed by Schmidt in order to show that the group ST=Gal(ST/K) is of cohomological dimension 2 provided the finite set S is well chosen. This group ST is in fact mild in the sense of Labute. We compute its Euler characteristic, by studying the Galois cohomology groups Hi(ST,𝔽p), i=1,2. Finally, we provide new situations where the group ST is a free pro-p-group.
