The CM Iwasawa main conjecture for Katz's pp-adic LL-function

Let K/FK/F be a pp-ordinary CM quadratic extension for an odd prime pp, and let hKh_K^- be its relative class number. Fix embeddings ι:QC\iota_\infty:\overline{\mathbb{Q}}\hookrightarrow\mathbb{C} and ιp:QQp\iota_p:\overline{\mathbb{Q}}\hookrightarrow\overline{\mathbb{Q}}_p. Let Σ\Sigma be a pp-ordinary CM type of KK, with associated pp-adic CM type Σp\Sigma_p. Let KK_\infty be the compositum of the cyclotomic Zp\mathbb{Z}_p-extension and the anticyclotomic Zp[F:Q]\mathbb{Z}_p^{[F:\mathbb{Q}]}-extension of KK, and put ΓK=Gal(K/K)\Gamma_K=\operatorname{Gal}(K_\infty/K). Let KK' be a finite abelian extension of KK containing K(μp)K(\mu_p) and disjoint from KK_\infty, put Δ=Gal(K/K)\Delta=\operatorname{Gal}(K'/K) and K=KKK'_\infty=K_\infty K', and let ψ:ΔZp×\psi:\Delta\to\overline{\mathbb{Z}}_p^\times be a finite-order Hecke character over KK. Set R=Zpun[ψ]R=\overline{\mathbb{Z}}_p^{\mathrm{un}}[\psi] and Λ=R[[ΓK]]\Lambda=R[[\Gamma_K]]. Let MΣM_\Sigma be the maximal pp-abelian Σp\Sigma_p-ramified extension of KK'_\infty, and define

XΣ=Gal(MΣ/K)Zp[Δ][[ΓK]]R[Δ][[ΓK]].X_\Sigma=\operatorname{Gal}(M_\Sigma/K'_\infty)\otimes_{\mathbb{Z}_p[\Delta][[\Gamma_K]]}R[\Delta][[\Gamma_K]].

Let XΣ(ψ)X_\Sigma^{(\psi)} be the maximal ψ\psi-isotypic quotient of XΣX_\Sigma, and let FΣ(ψ)ΛF_\Sigma(\psi)\in\Lambda be its characteristic power series. Let LΣ(ψ)ΛL_\Sigma(\psi)\in\Lambda be the associated Katz pp-adic LL-function. The CM Iwasawa main conjecture. The ideals generated by the algebraic and analytic characteristic elements are equal:

(FΣ(ψ))=(LΣ(ψ)).(F_\Sigma(\psi))=(L_\Sigma(\psi)).

This conjecture asserts that the characteristic ideal of the relevant Iwasawa module agrees with the ideal generated by Katz's pp-adic LL-function, linking the arithmetic of the maximal pp-abelian Σp\Sigma_p-ramified extension to interpolated critical Hecke LL-values. Its resolution is not specified in the supplied source.
