Abstract Stark conjectured that for any $h\in \Bbb {N}$ , there are only finitely many CM-fields with class number h. Let $\mathcal {C}$ be the class of number fields L for which L has an almost normal subfield K such that $L/K$ has solvable Galois closure. We prove Stark’s conjecture for $L\in \mathcal {C}$ of degree greater than or equal to 6. Moreover, we show that the generalised Brauer–Siegel conjecture is true for asymptotically good towers of number fields $L\in \mathcal {C}$ and asymptotically bad families of $L\in \mathcal {C}$ .

AbstractWe introduce a new conjecture concerning the construction of elements in the annihilator ideal associated to a Galois action on the higher-dimensional algebraicK–groups of rings of integers in number fields. Our conjecture ismotivic in the sense that it involves the (transcendental) Borel regulator as well as being related tol–adic étale cohomology. In addition, the conjecture generalises the wellknown Coates–Sinnott conjecture. For example, for a totally real extension whenr= –2,–4,–6, … the Coates–Sinnott conjecturemerely predicts that zero annihilatesK–2rof the ring ofS–integers while our conjecture predicts a non-trivial annihilator. By way of supporting evidence, we prove the corresponding (conjecturally equivalent) conjecture for the Galois action on the étale cohomology of the cyclotomic extensions of the rationals.

In this paper, we study real-dihedral harmonic Maass forms and their Fourier coefficients. The main result expresses the values of Hilbert modular forms at twisted CM 0-cycles in terms of these Fourier coefficients. This is a twisted version of the main theorem in Bruinier and Yang [CM-values of Hilbert modular functions, Invent. Math. 163 (2006), 229–288] and provides evidence that the individual Fourier coefficients are logarithms of algebraic numbers in the appropriate real-quadratic field. From this result and numerical calculations, we formulate an algebraicity conjecture, which is an analogue of Stark’s conjecture in the setting of harmonic Maass forms. Also, we give a conjectural description of the primes appearing in CM-values of Hilbert modular functions.
