Abstract

Inspired by the work of Bloch and Kato in [2], David Burns constructed several ‘equivariant Tamagawa invariants’ associated to motives of number fields. These invariants lie in relative $K$-groups of group-rings of Galois groups, and in [3] Burns gave several conjectures (see Conjecture 3.1) about their values. In this paper I shall verify Burns' conjecture concerning the invariant $T\Omega^{\rm loc}( N/{\bf Q},1)$ for some families of quaternion extensions $N/{\bf Q}$. Using the results of [9] I intend in a subsequent paper to verify Burns' conjecture for those families of quaternion fields which are not covered here.
