DESCRIPTION:TITLE :\n	Stark's Conjectures and Hilbert's 12th Problem.\n\nABS
 TRACT :\n	In this talk we will discuss two central problems in algebraic nu
 mber theory and their interconnections: explicit class field theory and th
 e special values of L-functions. The goal of explicit class field theory i
 s to describe the abelian extensions of a ground number field via analytic
  means intrinsic to the ground field\; this question lies at the core of H
 ilbert's 12th Problem. Meanwhile\, there is an abundance of conjectures on
  the values of L-functions at certain special points. Of these\, Stark's C
 onjecture has relevance toward explicit class field theory. I will describ
 e two recent joint results with Mahesh Kakde on these topics. The first is
  a proof of the Brumer-Stark conjecture away from p=2. This conjecture sta
 tes the existence of certain canonical elements in abelian extensions of t
 otally real fields. The second is a proof of an exact formula for Brumer-S
 tark units that has been developed over the last 15 years. We show that th
 ese units together with other easily written explicit elements generate th
 e maximal abelian extension of a totally real field\, thereby giving a p-a
 dic solution to the question of explicit class field theory for these fiel
