The pp-adic Stark conjecture in the cyclotomic tower

About 7 years old · traced to

For each n≥0n\ge 0, let Qn\mathbb{Q}_n be the nnth layer of the cyclotomic Zp\mathbb{Z}_p-extension of Q\mathbb{Q}, let Mn=MQnM_n=M\mathbb{Q}_n, let Δn=Gal⁡(Mn/Q)\Delta_n=\operatorname{Gal}(M_n/\mathbb{Q}), and let UnU_n be the unit group specified in the source. Let knk_n be obtained from kk by adjoining the pn+1p^{n+1}st roots of unity. For characters η,ψ\eta,\psi of the cyclotomic Galois groups, let (ρη)∗(\rho\eta)^* denote the indicated isotypic representation, and let A(ρ,η)∗A^{(\rho,\eta)^*} denote its isotypic component; write Aδp=αA^{\delta_p=\alpha} for the α\alpha-eigenspace of geometric Frobenius at pp. The cyclotomic pp-adic Stark conjecture. If ψ,η∈W(Cp)\psi,\eta\in\mathcal{W}(\mathbb{C}_p) have orders pnp^n and pmp^m, respectively, with m,n≥1m,n\ge 1, then there exist units

uχψ,α∗∈(kn⊗Un)(ρψ)∗,δp=α,uχη,α∗∈(km⊗Um)(ρη)∗,δp=αu_{\chi\psi,\alpha}^*\in(k_n\otimes U_n)^{(\rho\psi)^*,\delta_p=\alpha},\qquad u_{\chi\eta,\alpha}^*\in(k_m\otimes U_m)^{(\rho\eta)^*,\delta_p=\alpha}

for which

Lp(χ,α,ψω,ηω,0)=(1−βψ(p))(1−ψ−1(p)αp)τ(ψ−1)pn+1(1−βη(p))(1−η−1(p)αp)τ(η−1)pm+1log⁡p(uχψ,α∗)log⁡p(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}^*)}.

This is the more precise unit-theoretic formulation in the cyclotomic tower, incorporating the Frobenius eigenvalue α\alpha. The source gives no evidence that it has been proved or refuted.
