Conjecture on elliptic-unit generators of ray class fields

At least 12 years old · documented by

Let KK be an imaginary quadratic field, let f\mathfrak f be an ideal of OK\mathcal O_K, and let KfK_{\mathfrak f} be the corresponding ray class field. Under the conditions of the main theorem, there are uc,vc,u1,v1∈1fZu_{\mathfrak c},v_{\mathfrak c},u_1,v_1\in\frac{1}{f}\mathbf Z and an elliptic unit

ϵ(c)=ϕ(uc,vc,τ1)ϕ(u1,v1,τ1)∈Kf,\epsilon(\mathfrak c)=\frac{\phi(u_{\mathfrak c},v_{\mathfrak c},\tau_1)}{\phi(u_1,v_1,\tau_1)}\in K_{\mathfrak f},

where ff is the smallest positive integer in f\mathfrak f. Elliptic-unit generator conjecture. The elliptic unit ϵ(c)\epsilon(\mathfrak c) generates KfK_{\mathfrak f} over KK if the conditions of the main theorem hold. The authors report that all their experiments support the claim and that the proof of a cited lemma suggests it, but the supplied text does not state that it has been proved.
