| Apr 22, 2014 at 9:42 | comment | added | Preda | While the previous version only proved Leopoldt for CM fields that split the prime p, I have developed a new proof using CM Z_p extensions, a proof that holds for any CM field. The proof was discussed during 9 months with a German colleague and expert in Iwasawa theory, whose questions and hints lead to a definite improvement of the exposition - with the result that the colleague eventually understood and agreed with the proof, the responsibility remaining completely on my side, of course. It is now available on Arxiv and has been submitted for publication. | |
| Feb 4, 2012 at 16:44 | comment | added | Joël | Dear Preda, Six months have passed and unfortunately I have not yet found the time to read seriously your paper, which I still very much want to do. I wanted to ask you a question: you have a much shorter 2008 paper called "An application of Baker's theory to Leopoldt's conjecture" which proves Leopoldt's conjecture in the case of a totally real extension where $p$ splits completely (which is already a real breakthrough, and contains the cases I personally need of the conjecture). Is this paper published? Do you think I should read it as an introduction to your more recent paper? | |
| Jul 4, 2011 at 12:13 | comment | added | Preda | Dear Joel, You are welcome and have fun. I will post within the next week also a shorter paper on the Gross conjecture, this might be interesting too - I teach it in the same course, and the result is somehow faster ... Let me know if you get stuck anywhere, I will try to help Best Preda | |
