On Weil-Stark elements, I: general properties

Number Theory 2023-10-17 v2

Abstract

We construct a canonical family of elements in the reduced exterior power lattices of the unit groups of global fields. We prove that this family recovers the theory of cyclotomic elements in real abelian fields and also establish detailed arithmetic properties of its elements in the general case.
