WENTS Seminar: An equivariant class number formula by more elementary methods
In 2009, Büyükboduk published a result in Crelle which expressed the order of the $\chi$-part of the class-group of a number field ($\chi$ a $p$-adic character of a Galois group) in terms of $L$-functions and regulators. The proof used Kolyvagin...

Abstract We will begin the proof of the existence of Weil groups in the local case, via relative Weil groups (or in other words, fundamental classes), following Serre's approach.

Following the last talk, in which we outlined the proof of the existence of the local fundamental class, we will now begin the proof in detail.
