Gross's conjecture on the leading term of the p-adic L-function

Let FF be a number field, let H/FH/F be a finite cyclic CM extension, let pp be a prime, and let RR, R0R_0, and R1R_1 be the subsets of primes of FF above pp that split, ramify, and remain in the third case in HH, respectively. Put rχ=#Rr_\chi=\#R, let χ\chi be the relevant character, let Lp(χω,s)L_p(\chi\omega,s) be the pp-adic LL-function, and let Rp(χ)\mathscr{R}_p(\chi) be the regulator of pp-units of HH. Gross's conjecture.

ords=0Lp(χω,s)rχ.\operatorname{ord}_{s=0}L_p(\chi\omega,s)\geq r_\chi.
Lp(rχ)(χ,0)rχ!L(χ,0)=Rp(χ)pR0(1χ(p)).\frac{L_p^{(r_\chi)}(\chi,0)}{r_\chi!L(\chi,0)}=\mathscr{R}_p(\chi)\prod_{\mathfrak p\in R_0}(1-\chi(\mathfrak p)).
  1. Rp(χ)0\mathscr{R}_p(\chi)\neq0, and hence ords=0Lp(χω,s)=rχ\operatorname{ord}_{s=0}L_p(\chi\omega,s)=r_\chi. This is the pp-adic analogue of the classical order-of-vanishing and leading-term formulas for the Artin LL-function; the regulator nonvanishing is the substantive unresolved component in the formulation given here.
