Kummer–Vandiver conjecture on cyclotomic class-group eigenspaces

About 16 years old · traced to

Let ll be a prime, let A=Cl(Z[μl])lA=Cl(\mathbb Z[\mu_l])_l, and let A[i]A^{[i]} be the eigenspace corresponding to the ii-th power of the Teichmüller character ω:G(Q(μl)/Q)→(Z/lZ)×\omega:G(\mathbb Q(\mu_l)/\mathbb Q)\to(\mathbb Z/l\mathbb Z)^\times. Kummer–Vandiver conjecture.

A[l−1−n]=0A^{[l-1-n]}=0

for all even nn with 0≤n≤l−10\leq n\leq l-1. This is one of the classical conjectures in cyclotomic field theory; the source gives no resolution status.
