Abstract: We prove a strengthening of the "reciprocity conjecture" of Khare and Wintenberger. The input to the original conjecture is an odd prime p, a CM number field F containing the pth roots of unity, and a pair of primes of the maximal totally real subfield E of F that are inert in the cyclotomic Z_p-extension of E. In analogy to a statement about generalized Jacobians of curves, the conjecture asserts the equality of two procyclic subgroups of the Galois group G of the maximal p-ramified abelian pro-p extension of E. The first is the intersection of the subgroup of G fixing the cyclotomic Z_p-extension with the closed subgroup of G generated by the two primes. The second is generated by the class of an exact sequence defining the minus part of the p-part of the ray class group of the cyclotomic Z_p-extension of F of conductor the product of the two primes of E.


The goal of the present paper is to prove the reciprocity conjecture of \textit{C. Khare} and \textit{J.-P. Wintenberger} as found in [Int. Math. Res. Not. 2014, No. 1, 194--223 (2014; Zbl 1307.11117)]. Let \(p\) be an odd prime, \(F\) be a CM number field containing the \(p\)th roots of unity, \((\mathfrak q_1,\mathfrak q_2)\) a pair of primes of the maximal totally real subfield \(F^+\) of \(F\) that are inert in the cyclotomic \(\mathbb Z_p\) extension \(F_\infty^+/F^+\). The conjecture asserts the equality of two pro-cyclic subgroups of the Galois group of the maximal pro-\(p\) extension \(\mathcal M\) of \(F_\infty^+\) that is unramified outside \(p\) and abelian over \(F^+\). The first is the Frobenius line \(M_G\) defined as the intersection with \(\mathrm{Gal}(\mathcal M/F_\infty^+)\) of the closed subgroup of \(\mathrm{Gal}(\mathcal M/F^+)\) generated by the Frobenius elements of \(\mathfrak q_1\) and \(\mathfrak q_2\). The second is the ray class line \(N_G\) generated by the class of an exact sequence defining the minus part of the \(p\)-part of the ray class group of \(F_\infty\) of conductor \(\mathfrak q_1\mathfrak q_2\).
