Non-abelian pseudomeasures and congruences between abelian Iwasawa L-functions

Number Theory 2008-03-12 v1

Abstract

The paper starts out from pseudomeasures (in the sense of Serre) which hold the arithmetic properties of the abelian ll-adic Artin LL-functions over totally real number fields. In order to generalize to non-abelian ll-adic LL-functions, these abelian pseudomeasures must satisfy congruences which are introduced but not yet known to be true. The relation to the ``equivariant main conjecture'' of Iwasawa theory is discussed.
