Abstract

Let pp and qq be two distinct odd primes. Let KK be an imaginary quadratic field over which pp and qq are both split. Let Ψ\Psi be a Hecke character over KK of infinity type (k,j)(k,j) with 0j<k0\le-j< k. Under certain technical hypotheses, we show that for a Zariski dense set of finite-order characters κ\kappa over KK which factor through the Zq2\mathbb{Z}_q^2-extension of KK, the pp-adic valuation of the algebraic part of the LL-value L(κΨ,k+j)L(\overline{\kappa\Psi},k+j) is a constant independent of κ\kappa. In addition, when j=0j=0 and certain technical hypothesis holds, this constant is zero.
