Coates-Wiles towers for CM abelian varieties

Number Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Let A be a CM abelian variety defined over a number field K. We compute congruence relations on units in fields generated by adjoining torsion points of A to K. For elliptic curves, congruence relations of the type we compute were used in the proof of the Coates-Wiles theorem. In general, we compute congruence relations on exterior products of units in division fields. This result seems to fit more naturally into the framework of the Stark/Rubin conjectures.
