On integral Stark conjectures (and multiplicative Galois module structures). (Q3979902)

Fröhlich studied the interplay between the values of Artin \(L\)-functions at zero and the Galois module structure of multiplicative unit groups of algebraic number fields. He demonstrated that this results can translate into explicit results on the module structure of \(S\)-unit groups. These results are parallel to results concerning Galois module structures of integers in wildly ramified Galois extensions. However, the full generality is lost: the results are restricted to \(L\)-functions associated to complex representations of real absolutely abelian number fields, or to rationally defined representations of arbitrary finite abelian Galois extensions. The present author extends the results to include the case of \(L\)-functions attached to complex representations of finite abelian extensions of imaginary quadratic fields. The proof is based both on the validity of the Strong Stark Conjecture and the method of Kolyvagin.
