Abstract

When the branch character has root number $- 1$, the corresponding anticyclotomic Katz $p$-adic $L$-function vanishes identically. For this case, we determine the $\mu $-invariant of the cyclotomic derivative of the Katz $p$-adic $L$-function. The result proves, as an application, the non-vanishing of the anticyclotomic regulator of a self-dual CM modular form with root number $- 1$. The result also plays a crucial role in the recent work of Hsieh on the Eisenstein ideal approach to a one-sided divisibility of the CM main conjecture.
