The conjecture of Leopoldt states that the $p$ - adic regulator of a number field does not vanish. It was proved for the abelian case in 1967 by Brumer, using Baker theory. A conjecture, due to Gross and Kuz'min will be shown here to be in…

We use $\ell$-adic class field theory to take a new view on cyclotomic norms and Leopoldt or Gross generalized conjectures. By the way we recall and complete some classical results. We illustrate the logarithmic approach by various…

Let $A' = \varprojlim_n$ be the projective limit of the $p$-parts of the ideal class groups of the $p$ integers in the $\Z_p$-cyclotomic extension $\K_{\infty}/\K$ of a CM number field $\K$. We prove in this paper that the $T$ part…

We formulate a conjectural p-adic analogue of Borel's theorem relating regulators for higher K-groups of number fields to special values of the corresponding zeta-functions, using syntomic regulators and p-adic L-functions. We also…

Let $A' = \varprojlim_n A'_n$ be the projective limit of the $p$-parts of the ideal class groups of the $p$ integers in the $\mathbb{Z}_p$-cyclotomic extension $K_{\infty}/K$ of a CM number field $K$. We prove in this paper that the…

We compute the Z-rank of the subgroup of elements of the multiplicative group of a number field K that are norms from every finite level of the cyclotomic Z{\ell}-extension of K. Thus we compare its {\ell}-adification with the group of…

A main theme of the paper is a conjecture of Bloch-Kato on the image of $p$-adic regulator maps for a proper smooth variety $X$ over an algebraic number field $k$. The conjecture for a regulator map of particular degree and weight is…

The conjecture of Leopoldt states that the $p$ - adic regulator of a number field does not vanish. It was proved for the abelian case in 1967 by Brumer, using Baker theory. We prove this conjecture for CM number fields $\K$. The proof uses…

Given an odd prime number $p$ and a $p$-stabilized Artin representation $\rho$ over $\mathbb{Q}$, we introduce a family of $p$-adic Stark regulators and we formulate an Iwasawa-Greenberg main conjecture and a $p$-adic Stark conjecture which…

The paper contains at the end a proof of the conjecture of Gross - Kuz'min, for CM extensions of Q. The main topic of the paper is the investigation of the growth of order and ranks at finite levels of some Lambda modules (p-parts of ideal…

An inequality proved firstly by Remak and then generalized by Friedman shows that there are only finitely many number fields with a fixed signature and whose regulator is less than a prescribed bound. Using this inequality, Astudillo, Diaz…

Let $L/K$ be a Galois extension of number fields and let $G=\mathrm{Gal}(L/K)$. We show that under certain hypotheses on $G$, for a fixed prime number $p$, Leopoldt's conjecture at $p$ for certain proper intermediate fields of $L/K$ implies…

Let $F$ be a totally real number field, $p$ a rational prime, and $\chi$ a finite order totally odd abelian character of Gal$(\bar{F}/F)$ such that $\chi(\mathfrak{p})=1$ for some $\mathfrak{p}|p$. Motivated by a conjecture of Stark, Gross…

We lower bound the Faltings height of an abelian variety over a number field by the sum of its injectivity diameter and the norm of its bad reduction primes. It leads to an unconditional bound on the rank of Mordell-Weil groups. Assuming…

The Leopoldt conjecture is concerned with the image of the global units in the local units at the primes dividing p. In the definition of the global units the infinite place is distinguished. Exchanging p and infinity in the formulation one…

We associate certain curves over function fields to given algebraic power series and show that bounds on the rank of Kodaira-Spencer map of this curves imply bounds on the exponents of the power series, with more generic curves giving lower…

We generalize a formula of Leopoldt which relates the p-adic regulator modulo p of a real abelian extension of Q with the value of the relative Dedekind zeta function at s=2-p. We use this generalization to give a statement on the…

As a natural sequel to the study of A-motivic cohomology initiated in "On the integral part of A-motivic cohomology", we develop a notion of regulator for rigid analytically trivial Anderson A-motives. In accordance with the conjectural…

The paper investigates various $p$-adic versions of Littlewood's conjecture, generalizing a set-up considered recently by de Mathan and Teulie. In many cases it is shown that the sets of exceptions to these conjectures have Hausdorff…

Darmon's conjecture on a relation between cyclotomic units over real quadratic fields and certain algebraic regulators was recently solved by Mazur and Rubin by using their theory of Kolyvagin systems. In this paper, we formulate a…
