Abstract
We calculate the constant terms of certain Hilbert modular Eisenstein series at all cusps. Our formula relates these constant terms to special values of Hecke $L$-series. This builds on previous work of Ozawa, in which a restricted class of Eisenstein series were studied. Our results have direct arithmetic applications—in separate work we apply these formulas to prove the Brumer–Stark conjecture away from $p=2$ and to give an exact analytic formula for Brumer–Stark units.
