Comparison of canonical periods under base change

Number Theory 2025-12-10 v1

Abstract

In this paper we prove the canonical period of a Hilbert modular form with respect to the base change of a real quadratic extension differs from the square of its own canonical period only by a pp-adic unit under some conditions. We prove this by proving a specific version of anticyclotomic Iwasawa main conjecture for Hilbert modular forms.
