The auxiliary-character pp-adic Stark conjecture

Let η,ψW(Cp)\eta,\psi\in\mathcal{W}(\mathbb{C}_p) be finite-order characters of orders pmp^m and pnp^n, respectively. Let MmM_m and MnM_n be the fixed fields of the kernels of ρη\rho\otimes\eta and ρψ\rho\otimes\psi, and let kmk_m and knk_n be obtained by adjoining the values of χ\chi, α\alpha, and ζpm+1\zeta_{p^{m+1}}, respectively ζpn+1\zeta_{p^{n+1}}, to Q\mathbb{Q}. The pp-adic Stark conjecture. There exist units uχη,αkmOMm×u_{\chi\eta,\alpha}^*\in k_m\otimes\mathscr{O}_{M_m}^\times and uχψ,αknOMn×u_{\chi\psi,\alpha}^*\in k_n\otimes\mathscr{O}_{M_n}^\times such that

Lp(χ,α,ψω,ηω,0)=(1βψ(p))(1ψ1(p)αp)τ(ψ1)pn+1(1βη(p))(1η1(p)αp)τ(η1)pm+1logp(uχψ,α)logp(uχη,α).L_p(\chi,\alpha,\psi\omega,\eta\omega,0)=\frac{(1-\beta\psi(p))\left(1-\frac{\psi^{-1}(p)}{\alpha p}\right)\frac{\tau(\psi^{-1})}{p^{n+1}}}{(1-\beta\eta(p))\left(1-\frac{\eta^{-1}(p)}{\alpha p}\right)\frac{\tau(\eta^{-1})}{p^{m+1}}}\frac{\log_p(u_{\chi\psi,\alpha}^*)}{\log_p(u_{\chi\eta,\alpha}^*)}.

Here τ(ψ1)\tau(\psi^{-1}) and τ(η1)\tau(\eta^{-1}) are the Gauss sums associated to ψ1\psi^{-1} and η1\eta^{-1}. This choice-independent formulation is introduced because the unnormalized one-variable pp-adic LL-function depends on auxiliary choices. The source does not provide a resolution status for this conjecture.
