We show that any {Lambda}-ring, in the sense of Riemann–Roch theory, which is finite étale over the rational numbers and has an integral model as a {Lambda}-ring is contained in a product of cyclotomic fields. In fact, we show that the category of such {Lambda}-rings is described in a Galois-theoretic way in terms of the monoid of pro-finite integers under multiplication and the cyclotomic character. We also study the maximality of these integral models and give a more precise, integral version of the result above. These results reveal an interesting relation between {Lambda}-rings and the class field theory.
