Continued Fractions, Special Values of the Double Sine Function, and Stark Units over Real Quadratic Fields

Abstract:

In this talk we will present new results showing that every existent Stark unit over a real quadratic field may be expressed as a product of double sine function values in a compact and canonical form using a continued fraction approach due to Zagier and Hayes.
