Snaith, Victor P.
 Stark's Conjecture and New Stickelberger Phenomena We introduce a new conjecture concerning the construction of elements in the annihilator ideal associated to a Galois action on the higher-dimensional algebraic $K$-groups of rings of integers in number fields. Our conjecture is motivic in the sense that it involves the (transcendental) Borel regulator as well as being related to $l$-adic \'{e}tale cohomology. In addition, the conjecture generalises the well-known Coates--Sinnott conjecture. For example, for a totally real extension when $r = -2, -4, -6, \dotsc$ the Coates--Sinnott conjecture merely predicts that zero annihilates $K_{-2r}$ of the ring of $S$-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 \'{e}tale cohomology of the cyclotomic extensions of the rationals.
