Darmon's conjecture on cyclotomic units and class numbers

About 12 years old · traced to

Let FF be the field and nn the integer in the source, write n+=∏i=1ν+ℓin_+=\prod_{i=1}^{\nu_+}\ell_i, let ν−\nu_- be the complementary prime-count parameter, let hnh_n be the nn-class number of FF, and let

Rn=(−1)ν+(φℓ11∧⋯∧φℓν+1)((1−τ)u0∧⋯∧(1−τ)uν+)R_n=(-1)^{\nu_+}(\varphi_{\ell_1}^1\wedge\cdots\wedge\varphi_{\ell_{\nu_+}}^1)((1-\tau)u_0\wedge\cdots\wedge(1-\tau)u_{\nu_+})

be the regulator element defined in the source. Darmon's conjecture.

θn=−2ν−hnRnin (F(μn)×/{±1})⊗ZInν+/Inν++1.\theta_n=-2^{\nu_-}h_nR_n\quad\text{in }(F(\mu_n)^\times/\{\pm1\})\otimes_{\mathbb Z}I_n^{\nu_+}/I_n^{\nu_++1}.

The conjecture predicts an explicit relation between Darmon's element, the nn-class number, and a regulator built from local reciprocity maps; the source provides no resolution.
