Yoshizaki's generation conjecture for positive relative units

From papers

Let Bn\mathbb{B}_n be the maximal real subfield of Q(ζ2n+2)\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_{2^{n+2}}), let Xn=2cos(2π/2n+2)X_n=2\cos(2\pi/2^{n+2}), and let REn+=ker(Nn/n1:EnEn1)RE_n^+=\ker({\rm N}_{n/n-1}:E_n\to E_{n-1}). Define

ϵn=Xn+1Xn1.\epsilon_n=\frac{X_n+1}{X_n-1}.

The notation 1,ϵnGal(Bn/Q)\langle-1,\epsilon_n\rangle_{{\rm Gal}(\mathbb{B}_n/\mathbb{Q})} denotes the subgroup generated by 1-1 and ϵn\epsilon_n as a Gal(Bn/Q){\rm Gal}(\mathbb{B}_n/\mathbb{Q})-module. Yoshizaki's generation conjecture. For all n1n\geq1,

REn+=1,ϵnGal(Bn/Q).RE_n^+=\langle-1,\epsilon_n\rangle_{{\rm Gal}(\mathbb{B}_n/\mathbb{Q})}.

This asserts that the explicitly constructed unit ϵn\epsilon_n generates all positive relative units, together with 1-1, under the Galois action. The supplied text does not state whether the assertion has been resolved.
