The Brumer–Stark conjecture for partial zeta values

Let FF be totally real, let H/FH/F be a finite abelian CM extension with Galois group GG, and let S=R{p}S=R\cup\{\mathfrak{p}\}, where p\mathfrak{p} splits completely in H/FH/F. Let TT be an auxiliary finite set of primes satisfying the stated integrality hypotheses, let UpU_{\mathfrak{p}} be the group of elements of HH^* whose absolute values are 11 at every place not dividing p\mathfrak{p}, and let P\mathfrak{P} be a prime of HH above p\mathfrak{p}. The Brumer–Stark conjecture. There exists an element uTUpu_T\in U_{\mathfrak{p}} such that uT1(modT)u_T\equiv 1\pmod{T} and, for every σG\sigma\in G,

ordP(σ(uT))=ζR,T(H/F,σ,0).\operatorname{ord}_{\mathfrak{P}}(\sigma(u_T))=\zeta_{R,T}(H/F,\sigma,0).

This is the Brumer–Stark conjecture in Gross's formulation, relating valuations of a global unit to integral partial zeta values. It has been proved away from 22 by Dasgupta–Kakde and over Z\mathbb{Z} by Dasgupta–Kakde–Silliman–Wang.
