The Eisenstein-cocycle formula for Gross's p-adic regulator

About 9 years old · traced to

Let RR be the set of primes of FF above pp that split in HH, let J⊂RJ\subset R, let ER∗E_R^* be the group of totally positive RR-units, let FR=∏p∈RFpF_R=\prod_{\mathfrak p\in R}F_{\mathfrak p}, and let KK contain the values of χ\chi. Let κχ∈Hn−1(ER∗,Meas⁡(FR,K))\kappa_\chi\in H^{n-1}(E_R^*,\operatorname{Meas}(F_R,K)), let cℓ,J,co∈Hr(ER∗,Cc(FR,K))c_{\ell,J},c_o\in H^r(E_R^*,C_c(F_R,K)) be the cocycles defined using the homomorphisms ℓp\ell_{\mathfrak p} and opo_{\mathfrak p}, and choose a generator ϑ∈Hn+r−1(ER∗,Z)≅Z\vartheta\in H_{n+r-1}(E_R^*,\mathbf Z)\cong\mathbf Z. Define

Rp(χ)J,an:=(−1)#Jcℓ,J∩(κχ∩ϑ)co∩(κχ∩ϑ)∈K.\mathscr{R}_p(\chi)_{J,\mathrm{an}}:=(-1)^{\#J}\frac{c_{\ell,J}\cap(\kappa_\chi\cap\vartheta)}{c_o\cap(\kappa_\chi\cap\vartheta)}\in K.

The Eisenstein-cocycle regulator conjecture. For every subset J⊂RJ\subset R,

Rp(χ)J=Rp(χ)J,an.\mathscr{R}_p(\chi)_J=\mathscr{R}_p(\chi)_{J,\mathrm{an}}.

The denominator is nonzero because it equals L(χ,0)∏p∈R0(1−χ(p))L(\chi,0)\prod_{\mathfrak p\in R_0}(1-\chi(\mathfrak p)) up to sign. The conjecture gives an analytic Eisenstein-cocycle expression for the regulators entering Gross's leading-term conjecture.
