Stark--Tate conjecture for rank-one abelian extensions

From papers

Let H/FH/F be an abelian extension of number fields, let WW be the number of roots of unity in HH, and let SS be a finite set of places of FF containing the ramified and infinite places, with S2|S|\geq 2. Suppose a place pS\mathfrak p\in S splits completely in FF, put T=S{p}T=S\setminus\{\mathfrak p\}, and let US,HTU_{S,H}^T be the group of elements satisfying the valuation conditions in the source. For σGal(H/F)\sigma\in\operatorname{Gal}(H/F) and a place Pp\mathfrak P\mid\mathfrak p, let ζSGal(σ,s)\zeta_S^{\operatorname{Gal}}(\sigma,s) be the Galois-theoretic partial zeta function. Stark--Tate conjecture. There exists \eUS,HT\e\in U_{S,H}^T such that

logσ(\e)P=WζSGal(σ,0)\log|\sigma(\e)|_{\mathfrak P}=-W\zeta_S^{\operatorname{Gal}\prime}(\sigma,0)

for every σ\sigma and Pp\mathfrak P\mid\mathfrak p, and such that H(\e1/W)H(\e^{1/W}) is abelian over FF. Tate's formulation refines Stark's published assertion and is used to obtain abelian extensions containing the relevant RM values; the conjecture remains unresolved in the source.
