The $k$th logarithmic derivative in the additive formal logarithm coordinate defines the Coates–Wiles homomorphism. Products of local units become sums under this map. For <elliptic units>, differentiating the underlying complex elliptic function expresses the result in terms of critical <Hecke L-function> values divided by a <CM period>.
