Weak Leopoldt's conjecture for Hecke characters of imaginary quadratic fields

Abstract

We give a proof of the weak Leopoldt's conjecture à la Perrin-Riou, under some technical condition, for the p-adic realizations of the motive associated to Hecke characters over an imaginary quadratic field K of class number 1, where p is a prime >3 and where the CM elliptic curve associated to the Hecke character has good reduction at the primes above p in K. This proof makes use of the 2-variable Iwasawa main conjecture proved by Rubin. Thus we prove the Jannsen conjecture for the above p-adic realizations for almost all Tate twists.
