On modified circular units and annihilation of real classes

Abstract

For an abelian totally real number field FF and an odd prime number pp which splits totally in FF, we present a functorial approach to special "pp-units" previously built by D. Solomon using "wild" Euler systems. This allows us to prove a conjecture of Solomon on the annihilation of the pp-class group of FF (in the particular context here), as well as related annihilation results and index formulae.
