Abstract: The p-adic Kummer--Leopoldt constant kappa_K of a number field K is (assuming the Leopoldt conjecture) the least integer c such that for all n extgreater{} extgreater{} 0, any global unit of K, which is locally a p^(n+c)th power at the p-places, is necessarily the p^nth power of a global unit of K. This constant has been computed by Assim & Nguyen Quang Do using Iwasawa's techniques,after intricate studies and calculations by many authors. We give an elementary p-adic proof and an improvement of these results, then a class field theory interpretation of kappa_K. We give some applications (including generalizations of Kummer's lemma on regular pth cyclotomic fields) and a natural definition of the normalized p-adic regulator for any K and any p$ge$2.This is done without analytical computations, using only class field theoryand especially the properties of the so-called p-torsion group T_K of Abelian p-ramification theory over K.
