The predicted equality between ray class group exponents and unit quotient orders

About 11 years old · traced to

Let a⊆o\mathfrak{a}\subseteq\mathfrak{o} be a GG-stable ideal. Write EaE_{\mathfrak{a}} for the relevant ray-unit group, Ca={δ∈C(a):δ≡1 mod a}\mathcal{C}_{\mathfrak{a}}=\{\delta\in\mathcal{C}(\mathfrak{a}):\delta\equiv1\bmod{\mathfrak{a}}\}, and let Ca\mathfrak{C}_{\mathfrak{a}} denote the associated ray class group. For a prime pp and character ϱ\varrho, write Syl⁡p(−)ϱ\operatorname{Syl}_p(-)_{\varrho} for the ϱ\varrho-component of the Sylow pp-subgroup and exp⁡(−)\operatorname{exp}(-) for its exponent. The predicted equality. If p∤2⋅∣G∣p\nmid2\cdot|G|, then

∣Syl⁡p(Ea/Ca)ϱ∣=exp⁡(Syl⁡p(Ca)ϱ).\left|\operatorname{Syl}_p(E_{\mathfrak{a}}/\mathcal{C}_{\mathfrak{a}})_{\varrho}\right|=\operatorname{exp}\left(\operatorname{Syl}_p(\mathfrak{C}_{\mathfrak{a}})_{\varrho}\right).

This is presented as a possible stronger consequence of the article's annihilation results. The statement concerns the relationship between ray-unit quotients and ray class groups; its resolution is not given in the source.
