A generalized Rubin formula for Hecke characters

Abstract: The goal of this paper is to generalize Rubin's theorem on values of Katz's $p$-adic $L$-function outside the range of interpolation from the case of Hecke characters of CM elliptic curves to more general self-dual algebraic Hecke characters. We follow the approach by Bertolini-Darmon-Prasanna, based on generalized Heegner cycles, which we extend from characters of imaginary quadratic fields of infinity type $(1,0)$ to characters of infinity type $(1+\ell,-\ell)$ for an integer $\ell\geq0$.
