Stark's rank one abelian conjecture for quadratic fields

From papers

Let FF be a quadratic extension of Q\mathbb{Q} and let KK be a nontrivial finite abelian extension of FF. If FF is real quadratic, assume that one infinite place of FF stays real in KK and the other becomes complex. Let SS be a finite set of places of FF containing the infinite places and the places ramified in KK, with S2|S|\geq 2, and let SKS_K be the places of KK above SS. Choose an infinite place vv of KK such that v(K)Rv(K)\subset\mathbb{R} when FF is real quadratic, and also write vv for its restriction to FF. Let Uv,SK×U_{v,S}\subset K^\times be the subgroup defined by

Uv,S={{uK×:uw=1, w such that wFvF},S3,{uK×:uw=uw, w,wv and uw=1, wSK},S={v,v}.U_{v,S}=\begin{cases}\{u\in K^\times: |u|_{w'}=1,\ \forall w'\text{ such that }w'\rvert_F\not=v\rvert_F\},& |S|\geq 3,\\ \{u\in K^\times: |u|_{w'}=|u|_{w”},\ \forall w',w”\mid v'\text{ and }|u|_w=1,\ \forall w\notin S_K\},& S=\{v,v'\}.\end{cases}

Let ee be the number of roots of unity in KK, and let LS(χ,s)L_S(\chi,s) be the complex LL-function associated to a character χ\chi of Gal(K/F)\operatorname{Gal}(K/F) with the Euler factors at the primes in SS removed. Stark's conjecture. There exists uUv,Su\in U_{v,S} such that for all characters χ\chi of Gal(K/F)\operatorname{Gal}(K/F),

LS(χ,0)=1eσGal(K/F)χ(σ)logσ(u)v.L'_S(\chi,0)=-\frac{1}{e}\sum_{\sigma\in\operatorname{Gal}(K/F)}\chi(\sigma)\log|\sigma(u)|_v.

Stark proved this conjecture when FF is imaginary quadratic, whereas it remains open when FF is real quadratic. The additional conclusion that K(u1/e)K(u^{1/e}) is abelian over FF is not included here.
