The generalized Quillen–Lichtenbaum conjecture for Artin L-functions

Let F/FF'/F be a GG-Galois extension of number fields, where GG is finite, and let ρ ⁣:GGLN(OE)\rho\colon G\to \mathrm{GL}_N(\mathcal{O}_E) be an EE-linear Galois representation for a number field EE. Let L(OF,ρ,1k)L^*(\mathcal{O}_F,\rho,1-k) denote the leading coefficient of the Taylor series of the associated LL-function at s=1ks=1-k, and let Rk,ρR_{k,\rho} be the kk-th regulator of ρ\rho. Generalized Quillen–Lichtenbaum conjecture. Up to a power of 22, for k1k\geq 1 one has

τGal(E/Q)L(OF,τρ,1k)=±#π2k2G(K(OF)M(ρ))#π2k1G(K(OF)M(ρ))torsionτGal(E/Q)Rk,τρ.\prod_{\tau\in \operatorname{Gal}(E/\mathbb{Q})} L^*(\mathcal{O}_F,\tau\circ \rho,1-k)=\pm \frac{\#\pi^G_{2k-2}(\mathrm{K}(\mathcal{O}_{F'})\otimes \mathrm{M}(\rho))}{\#\pi^G_{2k-1}(\mathrm{K}(\mathcal{O}_{F'})\otimes \mathrm{M}(\rho))_{\mathrm{torsion}}}\cdot \prod_{\tau\in \operatorname{Gal}(E/\mathbb{Q})} R_{k,\tau\circ \rho}.

This generalizes the Quillen–Lichtenbaum relation from Dedekind zeta values to Artin LL-functions. The paper proves the formula in many cases, while the stated assumptions leave the general number-field and representation-theoretic cases open.
