Abstract: We consider partial zeta functions $zeta(s,c)$ associated with ray classes $c$'s of a totally real field. Stark's conjecture implies that an appropriate product of $exp(zet{a}^{\prime }(0,c))$'s is an algebraic number which is called a Stark unit. Shintani gave an explicit formula for $exp(zet{a}^{\prime }(0,c))$ in terms of Barnes' multiple gamma function. Yoshida ``decomposed Shintani's formula: he defined the symbol $X(c,iota)$ satisfying that $exp(zet{a}^{\prime }(0,c))=pro{d}_{iota}exp(X(c,iota))$ where $iota$ runs over all real embeddings of $F$. Hence we can decompose a Stark unit into a product of $[F:mathbbQ]$ terms. The main result is to show that $([F:mathbbQ]-1)$ of them are algebraic numbers. We also study a relation between Yoshida's conjecture on CM-periods and Stark's conjecture.
