Rank-one abelian Stark conjecture

Let K/FK/F be an abelian extension of number fields, let SS be a finite set of places containing all infinite places of FF and all places ramified in K/FK/F, and suppose that a distinguished place vSv\in S splits completely in K/FK/F, with a fixed place ww of KK above vv, and that S2|S|\geq 2. Let ζS(s,σ)\zeta_S(s,\sigma) be the associated partial zeta function, and let WKW_K denote the number of roots of unity in K×K^\times. The rank-one abelian Stark conjecture. There exists an element ϵK×\epsilon\in K^\times such that: if S>2|S|>2, then ϵ\epsilon is a vv-unit; if S={v,v}S=\{v,v'\}, then ϵ\epsilon is an SS-unit and ϵw|\epsilon|_{w'} is constant for every place ww' of KK above vv'; moreover,

logϵσw=WKζS(0,σ)(σGal(K/F)),\log |\epsilon^\sigma|_w=-W_K\zeta'_S(0,\sigma)\qquad(\sigma\in\operatorname{Gal}(K/F)),

and K(ϵ1/WK)/FK(\epsilon^{1/W_K})/F is abelian. This is the rank-one form of Stark's conjecture, relating special derivatives of partial zeta functions to algebraic units; its status is not specified in the supplied text.
