Kashio–Yoshizaki refinement for traces of positive relative units

About 4 years old · traced to

Let Bn\mathbb{B}_n be the maximal real subfield of Q(ζ2n+2)\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_{2^{n+2}}). For the norm map Nn/n−1:En→En−1{\rm N}_{n/n-1}:E_n\to E_{n-1}, set REn+=ker⁡(Nn/n−1)RE_n^+=\ker({\rm N}_{n/n-1}), and define Trn(ϵ2)=∑σ∈Gal(Bn/Q)σ(ϵ2){\rm Tr}_n(\epsilon^2)=\sum_{\sigma\in{\rm Gal}(\mathbb{B}_n/\mathbb{Q})}\sigma(\epsilon^2). Let c1=2c_1=2 and, for n≥2n\geq2, let cn=2⋅round(2n/5)c_n=2\cdot{\rm round}(2^n/5), where round(x){\rm round}(x) is the nearest integer to xx. Kashio–Yoshizaki's refinement. For all n≥1n\geq1,

min⁡{Trn(ϵ2)∣ϵ∈REn+∖{±1}}=2n(1+8cn).\min\{{\rm Tr}_n(\epsilon^2)\mid \epsilon\in RE_n^+\setminus \{\pm1\}\}=2^n(1+8c_n).

This is presented as a refinement of the Komatsu–Morisawa–Okazaki conjecture and gives an exact minimum for the positive relative units.
