AbstractFor an abelian extension L/K of number fields, the Equivariant Tamagawa Number Conjecture (ETNC) at s = 0, which is equivalent to the Lifted Root Number Conjecture (LRNC), implies Rubin's Conjecture by work of Burns [3]. We show that, for relative biquadratic extensions L/K satisfying a certain condition on the splitting of places, Rubin's Conjecture in turn implies the ETNC/LRNC. We conclude with some examples.

AbstractWe assume the validity of the equivariant Tamagawa number conjecture for a certain motive attached to an abelian extension K/k of number fields, and we calculate the Fitting ideal of the dual of clK− as a Galois module, under mild extra hypotheses on K/k. This builds on concepts and results of Tate, Burns, Ritter and Weiss. If k is the field of rational numbers, our results are unconditional.

This paper concerns the description of holomorphic extensions of algebraic number fields. After expanding the notion of adele class group to number fields of infinite degree over ℚ, a hyperbolized adele class group [Formula: see text] is assigned to every number field K/ℚ. The projectivization of the Hardy space ℙ𝖧•[K] of graded-holomorphic functions on [Formula: see text] possesses two operations ⊕ and ⊗ giving it the structure of a nonlinear field extension of K. We show that the Galois theory of these nonlinear number fields coincides with their discrete counterparts in that 𝖦𝖺𝗅(ℙ𝖧•[K]/K) = 1 and 𝖦𝖺𝗅(ℙ𝖧•[L]/ℙ𝖧•[K]) ≅ 𝖦𝖺𝗅(L/K) if L/K is Galois. If K ab denotes the maximal abelian extension of K and 𝖢K is the idele class group, it is shown that there are embeddings of 𝖢K into 𝖦𝖺𝗅⊕(ℙ𝖧•[K ab ]/K) and 𝖦𝖺𝗅⊗(ℙ𝖧•[K ab ]/K), the "Galois groups" of automorphisms preserving ⊕ (respectively, ⊗) only.

We propose a candidate, which we call the fractional Galois ideal after Snaith's fractional ideal, for replacing the classical Stickelberger ideal associated to an abelian extension of number fields. The Stickelberger ideal can be seen as gathering information about those L-functions of the extension which are non-zero at the special point s = 0, and was conjectured by Brumer to give annihilators of class-groups viewed as Galois modules. An earlier version of the fractional Galois ideal extended the Stickelberger ideal to include L-functions with a simple zero at s = 0, and was shown by the present author to provide class-group annihilators not existing in the Stickelberger ideal. The version presented in this paper deals with L-functions of arbitrary order of vanishing at s = 0, and we give evidence using results of Popescu and Rubin that it is closely related to the Fitting ideal of the class-group, a canonical ideal of annihilators. Finally, we prove an equality involving Stark elements and class-groups originally due to Büyükboduk, but under a slightly different assumption, the advantage being that we need none of the Kolyvagin system machinery used in the original proof.

We study a relation between two refinements of the rank one abelian Gross–Stark conjecture. For a suitable abelian extension [Formula: see text] of number fields, a Gross–Stark unit is defined as a [Formula: see text]-unit of [Formula: see text] satisfying certain properties. Let [Formula: see text]. Yoshida and the author constructed the symbol [Formula: see text] by using [Formula: see text]-adic [Formula: see text] multiple gamma functions, and conjectured that the [Formula: see text] of a Gross–Stark unit can be expressed by [Formula: see text]. Dasgupta constructed the symbol [Formula: see text] by using the [Formula: see text]-adic multiplicative integration, and conjectured that a Gross–Stark unit can be expressed by [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we give an explicit relation between [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] and prove that two refinements are consistent.

AbstractWe estimate the number of relatively r-prime lattice points in {K^{m}} with their components having a norm less than x, where K is a number field. The error terms are estimated in terms of x and the discriminant D of the field K, as both x and D grow. The proof uses the bounds of Dedekind zeta functions. We obtain uniform upper bounds as K runs through number fields of any degree under assuming the Lindelöf hypothesis. We also show unconditional results for abelian extensions with a degree less than or equal to 6.

AbstractLet L/K be a finite Galois extension of number fields with Galois group G. We use leading terms of Artin L-series at strictly negative integers to construct elements which we conjecture to lie in the annihilator ideal associated to the Galois action on the higher dimensional algebraic K-groups of the ring of integers in L. For abelian G our conjecture coincides with a conjecture of Snaith and thus generalizes also the well-known Coates–Sinnott conjecture. We show that our conjecture is implied by the appropriate special case of the equivariant Tamagawa number conjecture (ETNC) provided that the Quillen–Lichtenbaum conjecture holds. Moreover, we prove induction results for the ETNC in the case of Tate motives h0(Spec(L))(r), where r is a strictly negative integer. In particular, this implies the ETNC for the pair (h0(Spec(L))(r), ), where L is totally real, r < 0 is odd and is a maximal order containing ℤ[]G, and will also provide some evidence for our conjecture.

We give a self-contained proof of a general conjecture of Gras on principalization of ideals in Abelian extensions of a given field L, which was solved by Kurihara in the case of totally real extensions L of the rational field ℚ. More precisely, for any given extension L/K of number fields, in which at least one infinite place of K totally splits, and for any ideal class cL of L, we construct a finite Abelian extension F/K, in which all infinite places totally split, such that cL become principal in the compositum M = LF.

Let N/K be a tame, abelian extension of number fields, whose Galois group is denoted by Γ. The basic object of study in this paper is the ring of integers of N, endowed with the trace form TN/K; the pair is then a Hermitian module (where we abbreviate ), and it restricts to a -Hermitian module (The reader is referred to Section 2 for the basics on Hermitian modules.) Ideally one would like to determine completely the class of this Hermitian module in K0H(ℤΓ), the Grothendieck group of ℤΓ-Hermitian modules modulo orthogonal sums; however, in general when Γ is even, one knows that even the ℚΓ-Hermitian module given by restricting (N, TN/K) is difficult to classify. (See for instance [S] and [F2].) To circumvent this difficulty we proceed in the following fashion, as suggested by the recent work of P. Lawrence (see [L]): let D = D(Γ) denote the anti-diagonal of Γ in Γ × Γ, that is to sayand let N(2) = (N⊗KN)D so that N(2) is a Galois algebra over K with Galois group Γ × Γ/D(Γ) ≅ Γ. Write for the trace form of N(2)/K, and define the -order it is then easy to see that is isomorphic as an -module to (see (3·1·6)). To be precise we ought really to write etc.; however, the base field will always be clear from the context.

Let k be an algebraic number field and K be its normal extension of finite degree. Then the genus field K* of K over k is defined as the maximal unramified extension of K which is obtained from K by composing an abelian extension over k2). We call the degree (K*: K) the genus number of K over k.

The lower central series of the absolute Galois group of a field is obtained by iterating the process of forming the maximal central extension of the maximal nilpotent extension of a given class, starting with the maximal abelian extension. The purpose of this paper is to give a cohomological description of this central series in case of an algebraic number field. This description is based on a result of Tate which states that the Schur multiplier of the absolute Galois group of a number field is trivial. We are in a profinite situation throughout which requires some functorial background especially for treating the dual of the Schur multiplier of a profinite group. In a future paper we plan to apply our results to construct a nilpotent reciprocity map.
