Abstract: In this paper, we present a unifying approach to the general theory of abelian Stark conjectures. To do so we define natural notions of `zeta element', of `Weil-'etale cohomology complexes' and of `integral Selmer groups' for the multiplicative group mathbbGm over finite abelian extensions of number fields. We then conjecture a precise connection between zeta elements and Weil-'etale cohomology complexes, we show this conjecture is equivalent to a special case of the equivariant Tamagawa number conjecture and we give an unconditional proof of the analogous statement for global function fields. We also show that the conjecture entails much detailed information about the arithmetic properties of generalized Stark elements including a new family of integral congruence relations between Rubin-Stark elements (that refines recent conjectures of Mazur and Rubin and of the third author) and explicit formulas in terms of these elements for the higher Fitting ideals of the integral Selmer groups of mathbbGm, thereby obtaining a clear and very general approach to the theory of abelian Stark conjectures. As first applications of this approach, we derive, amongst other things, a proof of (a refinement of) a conjecture of Darmon concerning cyclotomic units, a proof of (a refinement of) Gross's `Conjecture for Tori' in the case that the base field is mathbbQ, a proof of new cases of the equivariant Tamagawa number conjecture in situations in which the relevant p-adic L-functions have trivial zeroes, explicit conjectural formulas for both annihilating elements and, in certain cases, the higher Fitting ideals (and hence explicit structures) of ideal class groups, a reinterpretation of the p-adic Gross-Stark Conjecture in terms of the properties of zeta elements and a strong refinement of many previous results (of several authors) concerning abelian Stark conjectures.
