BRUMER–STARK UNITS AND EXPLICIT CLASS FIELD THEORY

Journal Article Duke Mathematical Journal · January 1, 2024 Let F be a totally real field of degree n, and let p be an odd prime. We prove the p-part of the integral Gross–Stark conjecture for the Brumer–Stark p-units living in CM abelian extensions of F . In previous work, the first author showed that such a resul ...

On the rank one Gross–Stark conjecture for quadratic extensions and the Deligne–Ribet q-expansion principle

Journal Article Advanced Studies in Pure Mathematics · January 1, 2020 In this note, we provide a new proof of the rank 1 Gross–Stark conjecture for a quadratic extension under the assumption that there is only one prime in the base field above a rational prime p. The full Gross–Stark conjecture was proven by the authors in j ... Full text Cite

On the characteristic polynomial of the gross regulator matrix

Journal Article Transactions of the American Mathematical Society · January 1, 2019 We present a conjectural formula for the principal minors and the characteristic polynomial of Gross’s regulator matrix associated to a totally odd character of a totally real field. The formula is given in terms of the Eisenstein cocycle, which was define ... Full text Cite

On the Gross-Stark Conjecture

Journal Article Annals of Mathematics · November 1, 2018 In 1980, Gross conjectured a formula for the expected leading term at s=0 of the Deligne-Ribet p-adic L-function associated to a totally even character ϕ of a totally real field F. The conjecture states that after scaling by L(ϕω-1,0), this value is equal ... Full text Cite

Sylvester’s problem and mock heegner points

Journal Article Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society · January 1, 2018 We prove that if p ≡ 4, 7 (mod 9) is prime and 3 is not a cube modulo p, then both of the equations x3 + y3 = p and x3 + y3 = p2 have a solution with x, y ∈ ℚ. ... Full text Cite

Partial zeta values, Gross's tower of fields conjecture, and Gross-Stark units

Journal Article Journal of the European Mathematical Society · January 1, 2018 We prove a conjecture of Gross regarding the “order of vanishing” of Stickelberger elements relative to an abelian tower of fields and give a cohomological construction of the conjectural Gross-Stark units. This is achieved by introducing an integral versi ... Full text Cite

The Eisenstein cocycle and Gross’s tower of fields conjecture

Journal Article Annales Mathematiques du Quebec · August 1, 2016 This paper is an announcement of the following result, whose proof will be forthcoming. Let F be a totally real number field, and let F⊂ K⊂ L be a tower of fields with L / F a finite abelian extension. Let I denote the kernel of the natural projection from ... Full text Cite

Factorization of p-adic Rankin L-series

Journal Article Inventiones Mathematicae · July 1, 2016 We prove that the p-adic L-series of the tensor square of a p-ordinary modular form factors as the product of the symmetric square p-adic L-series of the form and a Kubota–Leopoldt p-adic L-series. This establishes a generalization of a conjecture of Citro ... Full text Cite

The p-adic L-functions of evil Eisenstein series

Journal Article Compositio Mathematica · June 18, 2015 We compute the p-adic L-functions of evil Eisenstein series, showing that they factor as products of two Kubota-Leopoldt p-adic L-functions times a logarithmic term. This proves in particular a conjecture of Glenn Stevens. ... Full text Cite

Integral Eisenstein cocycles on GLn, II: Shintani's method

Journal Article Commentarii Mathematici Helvetici · January 1, 2015 We define a cocycle on GLn(Q) using Shintani's method. This construction is closely related to earlier work of Solomon and Hill, but differs in that the cocycle property is achieved through the introduction of an auxiliary perturbation vector Q. As a corol ... Full text Cite

P-adic L-functions and Euler systems: A tale in two trilogies

Chapter · January 1, 2014 This chapter surveys six different special value formulae for p-adic L-functions, stressing their common features and their eventual arithmetic applications via Kolyvagin’s theory of “Euler systems”, in the spirit of Coates-Wiles and Kato-Perrin-Riou. ... Full text Cite

A conjectural product formula for Brumer-Stark units over real quadratic fields

Journal Article Journal of Number Theory · March 1, 2013 Following methods of Hayes, we state a conjectural product formula for ratios of Brumer-Stark units over real quadratic fields. © 2012 Elsevier Inc. ... Full text Cite

ℒ-invariants and Shimura curves

Journal Article Algebra and Number Theory · January 1, 2012 In earlier work, the second named author described how to extract Darmon-style ℒ-invariants from modular forms on Shimura curves that are special at p. In this paper, we show that these ℒ-invariants are preserved by the Jacquet-Langlands correspondence. As ... Full text Cite

Hilbert modular forms and the Gross-Stark conjecture

Journal Article Annals of Mathematics · January 1, 2011 Let F be a totally real field and χ an abelian totally odd character of F.
