A proof of Sugawara's conjecture on Hasse-Weber ray class invariants

Number Theory 2025-03-12 v4

Abstract

In this paper a proof is given of Sugawara's conjecture from 1936, that the ray class field of conductor f\mathfrak{f} over an imaginary quadratic field KK is generated over KK by a single primitive f\mathfrak{f}-division value of the τ\tau-function, first defined by Weber and then modified by Hasse in his 1927 paper giving a new foundation of complex multiplication.
