Kronecker’s solution of Pell’s equation for CM fields
[La solution de Kronecker des équations Pell pour les corps CM]
Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Tome 63 (2013) no. 6, pp. 2287-2306.

Nous généralisons la solution de Kronecker des équations Pell aux corps K CM dont le groupe de Galois sur est un 2-groupe abélien élémentaire. Il s’agit d’une formule qui relie les valeurs CM d’une certaine fonction modulaire de Hilbert aux produits de logarithmes des unités fondamentales. Lorsque K est quadratique imaginaire, ces valeurs CM sont des nombres algébriques reliés aux unités elliptiques des corps de classes de Hilbert de K. Sous l’hypothèse que la conjecture de Schanuel soit vraie, nous montrons que, lorsque K et de degré plus grand que 2 sur , ces valeurs CM sont transcendantes.

We generalize Kronecker’s solution of Pell’s equation to CM fields K whose Galois group over is an elementary abelian 2-group. This is an identity which relates CM values of a certain Hilbert modular function to products of logarithms of fundamental units. When K is imaginary quadratic, these CM values are algebraic numbers related to elliptic units in the Hilbert class field of K. Assuming Schanuel’s conjecture, we show that when K has degree greater than 2 over these CM values are transcendental.
