Motivated by a conjecture of Stark, Gross conjectured a relation between the derivative of the $p$-adic $L$-function associated to $\\chi$ at its exceptional zero and the $\\mathfrak{p}$-adic logarithm of a $p$-unit in the $\\chi$ component of $F_\\chi^\\times$. In a recent work, Dasgupta, Darmon, and Pollack have proven this conjecture assuming two conditions: that Leopoldt's conjecture holds for $F$ and $p$, and that if there is only one prime of $F$ lying above $p$, a certain relation holds between the $\\mathscr{L}$-invariants of $\\chi$ and $\\chi^{-1}$. The main result of this paper removes both of these conditions, thus giving an unconditional proof of the conjecture.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-08-09T23:55:04.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11R42", "11F41", "11F33", "11F80" ], "keywords": [ "abelian gross-stark conjecture", "order totally odd abelian character", "finite order totally odd abelian", "totally real number field", "leopoldts conjecture holds" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 21, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1308.2261V" } } }
