Non-square Stark unit conjecture

From papers

Let KpjK^{\mathfrak p\mathfrak j} be the ray class field appearing in Theorem~, let ϵσ\epsilon_\sigma be its Stark unit, and let ξ\xi_\ell and x0x_0 be the associated quantities in that theorem. Non-square Stark unit conjecture. The Stark unit ϵσ\epsilon_\sigma is not a square. Consequently, the field extension in the theorem is equality:

Kpj(ϵσ)=Kpj(ξ),K^{\mathfrak p\mathfrak j}(\sqrt{\epsilon_\sigma})=K^{\mathfrak p\mathfrak j}(\xi_\ell),

and

ϵσξ=x0ϵσKpj.\sqrt{\epsilon_\sigma}\,\xi_\ell=\sqrt{x_0\epsilon_\sigma}\in K^{\mathfrak p\mathfrak j}.

The conjecture is motivated by computations in the listed prime dimensions and is stated as an arithmetic condition needed for the three main conjectures in the paper to have their concise form.
