چکیده

This article is concerned with proving a refined function field analogue of the Coates-Sinnott conjecture, formulated in the number field context in 1974. Our main theorem calculates the Fitting ideal of a certain even Quillen K-group in terms of special values of L-functions. The techniques employed are directly inspired by recent work of Greither and Popescu in the equivariant Iwasawa theory of arbitrary global fields. They rest on the results of Greither– Popescu on the Galois module structure of certain naturally defined Picard 1-motives associated to an arbitrary Galois extension of function fields.

On the Coates-sinnott Conjecture

In [5], Coates and Sinnott formulated a far reaching conjecture linking the values ΘF/k,S(1 − n) for even integers n ≥ 2 of an S–imprimitive, Galois-equivariant L–function ΘF/k,S associated to an abelian extension F/k of totally real number fields to the annihilators over the group ring Z[G(F/k)] of the even Quillen K–groups K2n−2(OF ) associated to the ring of integers OF of the top field F . ...

Equivariant Iwasawa theory and non-abelian Starck-type conjectures

We discuss three di erent formulations of the equivariant Iwasawa main conjecture attached to an extension K/k of totally real elds with Galois group G, where k is a number eld and G is a p-adic Lie group of dimension 1 for an odd prime p. All these formulations are equivalent and hold if Iwasawa's μ-invariant vanishes. Under mild hypotheses, we use this to prove non-abelian generalizations of ...

Equivariant Weierstrass Preparation and Values of L - functions at Negative Integers

We apply an equivariant version of the p-adic Weierstrass Preparation Theorem in the context of possible non-commutative generalizations of the power series of Deligne and Ribet. We then consider CM abelian extensions of totally real fields and by combining our earlier considerations with the known validity of the Main Conjecture of Iwasawa theory we prove, modulo the conjectural vanishing of c...

Stark’s Question and a Strong Form of Brumer’s Conjecture

We show that a question posed by Stark in 1980, regarding abelian L– functions of order of vanishing 2 at s = 0, has a negative answer in the case of characteristic p global fields. We provide links between various versions of Stark’s question and a strong form of Brumer’s Conjecture, in the general context of global fields of arbitrary characteristic. As a consequence, we show that the strong ...

A 6 - EXTENSIONS OF Q AND THE MOD p COHOMOLOGY OF GL 3 ( Z )

In this paper we give additional computational evidence for the generalization of Serre’s Conjecture [Serre 87] proposed in [Ash-Sinnott 00] and extended in [Ash-Doud-Pollack 02]. We also propose a further refinement — corresponding precisely to the “peu ramifiée – très ramifiée” distinction in Serre — which removes an ambiguity in the prediction of the earlier conjecture. The conjecture sets o...
