Coates–Sinnott conjecture on higher Stickelberger annihilators

About 16 years old · traced to

Let F/KF/K be an abelian CM extension of a totally real number field KK, let f{\bf f} be the conductor of F/KF/K, and let Θn(b,f)\Theta_n({\bf b},{\bf f}) be the higher Stickelberger element, where b{\bf b} is an integral ideal of KK coprime to f{\bf f} and wn+1(F)=card H0(F,Q/Z(n+1))w_{n+1}(F)={\rm card}\,H^0(F,\mathbb Q/\mathbb Z(n+1)). Coates–Sinnott conjecture. For all n≥1n\geq 1 and all b{\bf b} coprime to wn+1(F)w_{n+1}(F), Θn(b,f)\Theta_n({\bf b},{\bf f}) annihilates K2n(OF)K_{2n}({\mathcal O}_F). This is a higher analogue of Brumer's conjecture; the source records the claim but gives no resolution status.
