A cyclic-generator conjecture for principal \ell-adic units

Let k=Q(d)k=\mathbb Q(\sqrt{-d}) be an imaginary quadratic field, let K/QK/\mathbb Q be Galois with group GG and containing kk, put H=G(K/k)H=G(K/k), and let τG\tau\in G be complex conjugation, so that τ2=1\tau^2=1 and τ(d)d\tau(\sqrt{-d})\neq\sqrt{-d}. Let US,1(K)U_{S,1}(K) be the group of principal \ell-adic units used in the paper.

Cyclic-generator conjecture. There exists ωUS,1(K)\omega\in U_{S,1}(K) such that τ(ω)=ω\tau(\omega)=\omega and the set

{h(ω):hH}\{h(\omega):h\in H\}

generates a submodule of finite index in US,1(K)U_{S,1}(K).

The statement concerns the structure of principal \ell-adic units in Galois extensions containing an imaginary quadratic field. The supplied text gives no proof or resolution; the notation and the corrupted conjunction in the source should be checked.
