Rubin's Conjecture A' for higher Stark regulators

From papers

Let K+/kK^+/k be the totally real subextension under consideration, let G+=Gal(K+/k)G^+=\operatorname{Gal}(K^+/k), let S0=Sram(K/k)S_0=S_{\rm ram}(K/k), and let US0(K+)U_{S_0}(K^+) be the group of global S0S_0-units of K+K^+. Define the archimedean regulator

RK+/k:QZG+dUS0(K+)RG+R_{K^+/k}:{\mathbb Q}\otimes\bigwedge^d_{{\mathbb Z}G^+}U_{S_0}(K^+)\longrightarrow {\mathbb R}G^+

by sending u1udu_1\wedge\cdots\wedge u_d to the determinant of the logarithmic maps defined in the paper. Let ΘK+/k,S0(d)(0)\Theta_{K^+/k,S_0}^{(d)}(0) be the leading dd-th derivative term at s=0s=0, let eχe_\chi be the character idempotent, and let X(S0,d,G+)X(S_0,d,G^+) be the characters for which χ(ΘK+/k,S0(d)(0))0\chi(\Theta_{K^+/k,S_0}^{(d)}(0))\neq0. Rubin's Conjecture A'. There exists an element ηK+/k,S0\eta_{K^+/k,S_0} of

QZG+dUS0(K+){\mathbb Q}\otimes\bigwedge^d_{{\mathbb Z}G^+}U_{S_0}(K^+)

such that

ΘK+/k,S0(d)(0)=RK+/k(ηK+/k,S0)\Theta_{K^+/k,S_0}^{(d)}(0)=R_{K^+/k}(\eta_{K^+/k,S_0})

and

eχηK+/k,S0=0e_\chi\eta_{K^+/k,S_0}=0

in CZG+dUS0(K+){\mathbb C}\otimes\bigwedge^d_{{\mathbb Z}G^+}U_{S_0}(K^+) for every character χ\chi of G+G^+ not in X(S0,d,G+)X(S_0,d,G^+). This is the rational form of Rubin's conjecture and is equivalent here to the relevant instances of Stark's conjecture. The source subsequently assumes it and notes that it holds in the cyclotomic example, but gives no general proof.
