Solomon's annihilation conjecture for class groups

About 17 years old · traced to

Let FF be an abelian number field in which the prime pp is unramified, let O{\mathcal O} be the topological closure in Cp{\mathbb C}_p of the image of its ring of integers under a fixed embedding, and let sol⁡F\operatorname{sol}_F be Solomon's element defined from the pp-adic logarithms of a unit of FF.

Solomon's conjecture. The element sol⁡F\operatorname{sol}_F annihilates

ClF⊗O.Cl_F\otimes {\mathcal O}.

This is presented as a real analogue of the Stickelberger theorem, seeking an explicit group-ring annihilator for the class group. The supplied text gives no resolution status.
