A note on Sinnott's index formula

Kazuhiro Dohmae (1997)

Acta Arithmetica

Let k be an (imaginary or real) abelian number field whose conductor has two distinct prime divisors. We shall construct a basis for the group C of circular units in k and compute the index of C in the group E of units in k. This result is a generalization of Theorem 3.3 in a previous paper [1].

A Stark conjecture “over 𝐙 ” for abelian L -functions with multiple zeros

Karl Rubin (1996)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Suppose K / k is an abelian extension of number fields. Stark’s conjecture predicts, under suitable hypotheses, the existence of a global unit ϵ of K such that the special values L ' ( χ , 0 ) for all characters χ of Gal / ( K / k ) can be expressed as simple linear combinations of the logarithms of the different absolute values of ϵ .In this paper we formulate an extension of this conjecture, to attempt to understand the values L ( r ) ( χ , 0 ) when the order of vanishing r may be greater than one. This conjecture no longer predicts the existence...

Annihilators of minus class groups of imaginary abelian fields

Cornelius Greither, Radan Kučera (2007)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

For certain imaginary abelian fields we find annihilators of the minus part of the class group outside the Stickelberger ideal. Depending on the exact situation, we use different techniques to do this. Our theoretical results are complemented by numerical calculations concerning borderline cases.

Annihilators of the class group of a compositum of quadratic fields

Jan Herman (2013)

Archivum Mathematicum

This paper is devoted to a construction of new annihilators of the ideal class group of a tamely ramified compositum of quadratic fields. These annihilators are produced by a modified Rubin’s machinery. The aim of this modification is to give a stronger annihilation statement for this specific type of fields.
