Gras's Borel–Cantelli conjecture for p-rationality of real Galois fields

About 9 years old · traced to

Let K/QK/\mathbb{Q} be a real Galois extension with Galois group GG, and let η∈EK\eta\in E_K be a Minkowski unit, meaning a unit generating a sub-GG-module of finite index in EKE_K. Let RK{\mathcal R}_K be the normalized pp-adic regulator, let

c0(η)=max⁡σ∈G∣ησ∣,c_0(\eta)=\max_{\sigma\in G}|\eta^\sigma|,

and define log⁡2=log⁡∘log⁡\log_2=\log\circ\log. Gras's conjectural regulator estimate. The probability that RK≡0(modp){\mathcal R}_K\equiv0\pmod p is at most

1plog⁡2(p)/log⁡(c0(η))−O(1)for p→∞.\frac{1}{p^{\log_2(p)/\log(c_0(\eta))-O(1)}}\quad\text{for }p\to\infty.

Under the principle of Borel–Cantelli, only finitely many primes pp satisfy that KK is non-pp-rational. This is presented as a heuristic/conjectural formulation and the source gives no resolution.
