A higher rank Euler system for the multiplicative group over a totally real field

Number Theory 2020-02-18 v2

Abstract

In this paper, we construct a higher rank Euler system for the multiplicative group over a totally real field by using the Iwasawa main conjecture proved by Wiles. A key ingredient of the construction is to generalize the notion of the characteristic ideal. Under certain technical assumptions, we prove that all higher Fitting ideals of a certain pp-ramified Iwasawa module are described by analytic invariants canonically associated with Stickelberger elements.
