Let K be a finite abelian extension of a totally real number field. The Brumer conjecture asserts that the Stickelberger element annihilates the ideal class group of K. In this article, we will prove under some assumptions that the conjecture implies the Coates–Sinnott conjecture which is an analogue of the Brumer conjecture for higher K-groups.
