In this paper, we prove that the derivative of the Iwasawa power series associated to p-adic L-functions of $\mathbb Q(ζ\_p)$ are not divisible by p. This extends previous results obtained by Ferrero and Washington in 1979.
Ming-Lun Hsieh constructed three-variable triple product p-adic L-functions attached to triples of primitive Hida families and proved interpolation formulas. We generalize his result in the unbalanced case and construct a three-variable triple product p-adic L-function attached to a primitive Hida family and two more general p-adic families of modular forms.
We extend to $p=2$ and $p=3$ the result of Gillard and Schneps which says that the $μ$-invariant of Katz $p$-adic $L$ functions attached to imaginary quadratic fields is zero for $p>3$. The arithmetic interpretation of this fact is given in the introduction.
We establish a rationality result for the twisted Asai L-values attached to a Bianchi cusp form and construct distributions interpolating these L-values. Using the method of abstract Kummer congruences, we then outline the main steps needed to show that these distributions come from a measure.
The l-adic parabolic cohomology groups attached to noncongruence subgroups of SL_2(Z) are finite-dimensional representations of Gal(Qbar/F) for some number field F. We exhibit examples (with F=Q) giving rise to Galois representations whose images are open subgroups of the full group of symplectic similitudes (of arbitrary dimension). The determination of the image of the Galois group relies on Katz's classification theorem for reductive subalgebras of gl(N) containing a principal nilpotent element; the paper also contains a short conceptual proof of this theorem, suggested by I. Gronowski.
$L-$series attached to two classical families of elliptic curves with complex multiplications are studied over number fields, formulae for their special values at $s=1, $ bound of the values, and criterion of reaching the bound are given. Let $ E_1: y^{2}=x^{3}-D_1 x $ be elliptic curves over the Gaussian field $K=\Q(\sqrt{-1}), $ with $ D_1 =π_{1} ... π_{n} $ or $ D_1 =π_{1} ^{2}... π_{r} ^{2} π_{r+1} ... π_{n}$, where $π_{1}, ..., π_{n}$ are distinct primes in $K$. A formula for special values of Hecke $L-$series attached to such curves expressed by Weierstrass $\wp-$function are given; a lo…
In this paper we give a bound for the Iwasawa lambda invariant of an abelian number field attached to the cyclotomic Z_p-extension of that field. We also give some properties of Iwaswa power series attached to p-adic L-functions.
We study the Galois symbol map of the Milnor $K$-group attached to elliptic curves over a $p$-adic field. As by-products, we determine the structure of the Chow group for the product of elliptic curves over a $p$-adic field under some assumptions.
We study the $Λ$-module structure of the ordinary parts of the arithmetic cohomology groups of modular Jacobians made out of various towers of modular curves. We prove that the ordinary parts of $Λ$-adic Selmer groups coming from two different towers have "almost same" $Λ$-module structures. We also prove the cotorsionness of $Λ$-adic Tate-Shafarevich group under mild assumptions.
We consider the ternary Goldbach problem with two prime variables of the form $k^2+m^2+1$ and find an asymptotic formula for the number of its solutions.
These are the expanded notes of a mini-course of four lectures by the same title given in the workshop "p-adic aspects of modular forms" held at IISER Pune, in June, 2014. We give a brief introduction of p-adic L-functions attached to certain types of automorphic forms on GL(n) with the specific aim of understanding the p-adic symmetric cube L-function attached to a cusp form on GL(2) over rational numbers.
We prove a functional equation for the three-variable $p$-adic $L$-function attached to the Rankin-Selberg convolution of a Coleman family and a CM Hida family, which was studied by Loeffler and Zerbes. Consequentially, we deduce that an anticyclotomic $p$-adic $L$-function attached to a $p$-non-ordinary modular form vanishes identically in the indefinite setting.
We give a construction of a wide class of modular symbols attached to reductive groups. As an application we construct a p-adic distribution interpolating the special values of the twisted Rankin-Selberg L-function attached to cuspidal automorphic representations of GL(n) and GL(n-1) over number fields. If the representations are ordinary at p, our distribution is bounded and yields analyticity of the associated p-adic L-function.
In this paper we prove a Gross-Zagier type formula for the anticyclotomic p-adic L-function of an elliptic modular form f of higher weight and of multiplicative type at p. For such f we also decribe explicitely the local Galois representation attached to it at p and compare the Fontaine-Mazur and Teitelbaum L-invariants.
Let A be a modular elliptic curve over a totally real field F, and let E/F be a totally imaginary quadratic extension. In the event of exceptional zero phenomenon, we prove a formula for the derivative of the multivariable anticyclotomic p-adic L-function attached to (A,E), in terms of the Hasse-Weil L-function and certain p-adic periods attached to the respective automorphic forms. Our methods are based on a new construction of the anticyclotomic p-adic L-function by means of the corresponding automorphic representation.
We study the derived Hecke action at $p$ on the ordinary $p$-adic cohomology of arithmetic subgroups of semisimple groups $\mathrm G(\mathbb Q)$, i.e., we study the derived version of Hida's theory for ordinary Hecke algebras. This is the analog at $\ell=p$ of derived Hecke actions studied by Venkatesh in the tame case. We show that properties of the derived Hecke action at $p$ are related to deep conjectures in Galois cohomology which are higher analogs of the classical Leopoldt conjecture.
For a vector bundle E on a model of a smooth projective curve over a p-adic number field a p-adic representation of the geometric fundamental group of X has been defined in work with Annette Werner if the reduction of E is strongly semistable of degree zero. In the present note we calculate the reduction of this representation using the theory of Nori's fundamental group scheme.
We study Galois representations attached to nonsimple abelian varieties over finitely generated fields of arbitrary characteristic. We give sufficient conditions for such representations to decompose as a product, and apply them to prove arithmetical analogues of results shown by Moonen and Zarhin in the context of complex abelian varieties (of dimension at most 5).
A formalism of arithmetic partial differential equations (PDEs) is being developed in which one considers several arithmetic differentiations at one fixed prime. In this theory solutions can be defined in algebraically closed p-adic fields. As an application we show that for at least two arithmetic directions every elliptic curve possesses a non-zero arithmetic PDE Manin map of order 1; such maps do not exist in the arithmetic ODE case. Similarly we construct and study "genuinely PDE" differential modular forms. As further applications we derive a Theorem of the Kernel and a Reciprocity Theore…
We interpolate cohomology classes attached to families of Hilbert modular forms. Using this we construct a two variable $p$-adic L-function which interpolates one variable $p$-adic L-functions.
Let $B$ be a simple CM abelian variety over a CM field $E$, $p$ a rational prime. Suppose that $B$ has potentially ordinary reduction above $p$ and is self-dual with root number $-1$. Under some further conditions, we prove the generic non-vanishing of (cyclotomic) $p$-adic heights on $B$ along anticyclotomic $\Z_{p}$-extensions of $E$. This provides evidence towards Schneider's conjecture on the non-vanishing of $p$-adic heights. For CM elliptic curves over $\Q$, the result was previously known as a consequence of work of Bertrand, Gross--Zagier and Rohrlich in the 1980s. Our proof is based o…
Let p be prime and Zpn the degree n unramified extension of the ring of p-adic integers Zp. In this paper we give an overview of some very fast algorithms for common operations in Zpn modulo p^N. Combining existing methods with recent work of Kedlaya and Umans about modular composition of polynomials, we achieve quasi-linear time algorithms in the parameters n and N, and quasi-linear or quasi-quadratic time in log p, for most basic operations on these fields, including Galois conjugation, Teichmuller lifting and computing minimal polynomials.
We extend the work of Ash and Stevens [Ash-Stevens 97] on p-adic analytic families of p-ordinary arithmetic cohomology classes for GL(N,Q) by introducing and investigating the concept of p-adic rigidity of arithmetic Hecke eigenclasses. An arithmetic eigenclass is said to be "rigid" if (modulo twisting) it does not admit a nontrivial p-adic deformation containing a Zariski dense set of arithmetic specializations. This paper develops tools for explicit investigation into the structure of eigenvarieties for GL(N). We use these tools to prove that known examples of non-sefldual cohomological cusp…
We continue with our study of the non-critical exceptional zeros of Katz' $p$-adic $L$-functions attached to a CM field $K$, following two threads. In the first thread, we redefine our (group-ring-valued) $\mathcal{L}$-invariant associated to each $\mathbb{Z}_{p}$-extension $K_Γ$ of $K$ in terms of $p$-adic height pairings and interpolate them as $K_Γ$ varies to a universal (multivariate) group-ring-valued $\mathcal{L}$-invariant. In the second thread, we use our results to study the exceptional zeros of the non-genuine Rankin--Selberg $p$-adic $L$-functions attached to the self-products of ne…
We study the relationship between recent conjectures on slopes of overconvergent p-adic modular forms "near the boundary" of p-adic weight space. We also prove in tame level 1 that the coefficients of the Fredholm series of the U_p operator never vanish modulo p, a phenomenon that fails at higher level. In higher level, we do check that infinitely many coefficients are non-zero modulo p using a modular interpretation of the mod p reduction of the Fredholm series recently discovered by Andreatta, Iovita and Pilloni.
We prove the arithmetic fundamental lemma conjecture over a general $p$-adic field with odd residue cardinality $q\geq \dim V$. Our strategy is similar to the one used by the second author during his proof of the AFL over $\mathbb{Q}_p$ (arXiv:1909.02697), but only requires the modularity of divisor generating series on the Shimura variety (as opposed to its integral model). The resulting increase in flexibility allows us to work over an arbitrary base field. To carry out the strategy, we also generalize results of Howard (arXiv:1303.0545) on CM-cycle intersection and of Ehlen--Sankaran (arXiv…
Let $E$ be a modular elliptic curve over a totally real number field $F$. We prove the weak exceptional zero conjecture which links a (higher) derivative of the $p$-adic $L$-function attached to $E$ to certain $p$-adic periods attached to the corresponding Hilbert modular form at the places above $p$ where $E$ has split multiplicative reduction. Under some mild restrictions on $p$ and the conductor of $E$ we deduce the exceptional zero conjecture in the strong form (i.e.\ where the automorphic $p$-adic periods are replaced by the $\cL$-invariants of $E$ defined in terms of Tate periods) from a…
We show the non-existence of sections of arithmetic fundamental groups of open p-adic annuli of small radii, this implies the non-existence of sections of arithmetic fundamental groups of formal boundaries of formal germs of p-adic curves.
The purpose of this paper is to construct the p-adic twisted (h,q)-Euler-l-function, which interpolates the twisted generalized twisted Euler numbers attached to chi at a negative integer.
Let $K$ be a discrete valuation field with perfect residue field, we study the functor from weakly admissible filtered $(φ,N,G_K)$-modules over $K$ to the isogeny category of Breuil-Kisin-Fargues $G_K$-modules. This functor is the composition of a functor defined by Fargues-Fontaine from weakly admissible filtered $(φ,N,G_K)$-modules to $G_K$-equivariant modifications of vector bundles over the Fargues-Fontaine curve $X_{FF}$, with the functor of Fargues-Scholze that between the category of admissible modifications of vector bundles over $X_{FF}$ and the isogeny category of Breuil-Kisin-Fargue…
The Asai (or twisted tensor) $L$-function of a Bianchi modular form $Ψ$ is the $L$-function attached to the tensor induction to $\mathbb{Q}$ of its associated Galois representation. In this paper, when $Ψ$ is ordinary at $p$ we construct a $p$-adic analogue of this $L$-function: that is, a $p$-adic measure on $\mathbb{Z}_p^\times$ that interpolates the critical values of the Asai $L$-function twisted by Dirichlet characters of $p$-power conductor. The construction uses techniques analogous to those used by Lei, Zerbes and the first author in order to construct an Euler system attached to the A…
We construct the q-extension of the Hurwitz's type L-function which interpolates the q-extension of generalized Bernoulli polynomials attached to $chi$.
For the anticyclotomic p-adic Rankin--Selberg L-function attached to a fixed Hecke eigenform and an imaginary quadratic field we introduce the second p-adic variable by considering Hida families of Hecke eigenforms parametrized by the weight.
We build a one-variable $p$-adic $L$-function attached to two Hida families of ordinary $p$-stabilised newforms $\mathbf{f}$, $\mathbf{g}$, interpolating the algebraic part of the central values of the complex $L$-series $L(f \otimes \textrm{Ad}(g), s)$ when $f$ and $g$ range over the classical specialisations of $\mathbf{f}$, $\mathbf{g}$ on a suitable line of the weight space. The construction rests on two major results: an explicit formula for the relevant complex central $L$-values, and the existence of non-trivial $Λ$-adic Shintani liftings and Saito--Kurokawa liftings studied in a previo…
We establish a valuative version of Grothendieck's section conjecture for curves over p-adic local fields. The image of every section is contained in the decomposition subgroup of a valuation which prolongs the p-adic valuation to the function field of the curve.
Let $f_{\mathrm{new}}$ be a classical newform of weight $\geq 2$ and prime to $p$ level. We study the arithmetic of $f_{\mathrm{new}}$ and its unique $p$-stabilisation $f$ when $f_{\mathrm{new}}$ is $p$-irregular, that is, when its Hecke polynomial at $p$ admits a single repeated root. In particular, we study $p$-adic weight families through $f$ and its base-change to an imaginary quadratic field $F$ where $p$ splits, and prove that the respective eigencurves are both Gorenstein at $f$. We use this to construct a two-variable $p$-adic $L$-function over a Coleman family through $f$, and a three…
Let $p$ be a prime. We discuss $p$-adic properties of various arithmetical functions related to the coefficients of modular form and generating functions. Modular forms are considered as a tool of solving arithmetical problems. Examples of congruences between modular forms modulo $p$ and modulo $p^n$ are given, and the use of a computer for the study of modular forms is illistrated.
In this paper we investigate growth properties and the zero distribution of polynomials attached to arithmetic functions $g$ and $h$, where $g$ is normalized, of moderate growth, and $0<h(n) \leq h(n+1)$. We put $P_0^{g,h}(x)=1$ and \begin{equation*} P_n^{g,h}(x) := \frac{x}{h(n)} \sum_{k=1}^{n} g(k) \, P_{n-k}^{g,h}(x). \end{equation*} As an application we obtain the best known result on the domain of the non-vanishing of the Fourier coefficients of powers of the Dedekind $η$-function. Here, $g$ is the sum of divisors and $h$ the identity function. Kostant's result on the representation of si…
We study the $p$-adic (generalized) hypergeometric equations by using the theory of multiplicative convolution of arithmetic $\mathscr{D}$-modules. As a result, we prove that the hypergeometric isocrystals with suitable rational parameters have a structure of overconvergent $F$-isocrystals.
Dress and Siebeneicher gave a significant generalization of the construction of Witt vectors, by producing for any profinite group $G$, a ring-valued functor $\mathbf{W}_G$. This paper gives a concrete interpretation of the rings $\mathbf{W}_{\mathbf{Z}_p^2}(k)$ where $k$ is a field of characteristic $p > 0$ in terms of rings of Lipschitz continuous functions on the $p$-adic upper half plane $\mathbf{P}^1(\mathbf{Q}_p)$. As a consequence we show that the Krull dimensions of the rings $\mathbf{W}_{\mathbf{Z}_p^d}(k)$ are infinite for $d \geq 2$ and we show the Teichmüller representatives form a…
We prove the first cases of a conjecture by Darmon--Rotger on the non-vanishing of generalized Kato classes attached to elliptic curves $E$ over $\mathbf{Q}$ of rank $2$. Our method also shows that the non-vanishing of generalized Kato classes implies that the $p$-adic Selmer group of $E$ is $2$-dimensional. The main novelty in the proof is a formula for the leading term at the trivial character of an anticyclotomic $p$-adic $L$-function attached to $E$ in terms of the derived $p$-adic height of generalized Kato classes and an enhanced $p$-adic regulator.
We describe some new general constructions of $p$-adic $L$-functions attached to certain arithmetically defined complex $L$-functions coming from motives over $\bold Q$ with coefficiens in a number field $T$, with $[T:\bold Q]<\infty$. These constructions are equivalent to proving some generalized Kummer congruences for critical special values of these complex $L$-functions.
For a newform for Gamma_0(N) of even weight k, we prove that its attached p-adic L-function is not identically zero on the group Z_p of the p-adic units. If p >3, we prove that the order of vanishing at any p-adic integer is finite.
By analyzing the coefficients of the power series defining the Kubota--Leopoldt $p$-adic $L$-function associated to the non-trivial character of a real quadratic field, we prove a congruence of Ankeny--Artin--Chowla-type for prime power modulus. Additionally, we show how some classical congruences relating Bernoulli numbers and Wilson quotients fit naturally into the theory of the $p$-adic Riemann zeta function.
We propose in this paper an approach to Breuil's conjecture on a Langlands correspondence between $p$-adic Galois representations and representations of $p$-adic Lie groups in $p$-adic topological vector spaces. We suggest that Berthelot's theory of arithmetic $D$-modules should give a $p$-adic analogue of Kashiwara's theory of $D$-modules for real Lie groups i.e. it should give a realization of the $p$-adic representations of a $p$-adic Lie group as spaces of overconvergent solutions of arithmetic $D$-modules which will come equipped with an action of the Galois group. We shall discuss the ca…
The higher rank Lefschetz formula for p-adic groups is used to prove rationality of a several-variable zeta function attached to the action of a p-adic group on its Bruhat-Tits building. By specializing to certain lines one gets one-variable zeta functions, which then can be related to geometrically defined zeta functions
Let F be a number field with adele ring A_F, and πan isobaric, algebraic automorphic representation of GL_4(A_F) of a fixed archimedean weight, which is quasi-regular, meaning that at every archimedean place v of F, the 4-dimensional representation σ_v of the Weil group W_{F_v} attached to π_v is multiplicity free. Suppose there is an associated 4-dimensional, Hodge-Tate p-adic representation ρof the absolute Galois group G_F, whose local L-factors agree with those of π(up to a shift) at almost all primes P of F. Then our first result is that the semisimplification of ρdoes not contain any irr…
The Shintani cocycle on $\GL_n(\Q)$, as constructed by Hill, gives a cohomological interpretation of special values of zeta functions for totally real fields of degree $n$. We give an explicit criterion for a specialization of the Shintani cocycle to be $p$-adically interpolable. As a corollary, we recover the results of Deligne-Ribet, Cassou Noguès and Barsky on the construction of $p$-adic $L$-functions attached to totally real fields.
We come back to the construction of p-adic L-functions attached to cusp forms of even weight k in the spirit of G. Stevens, R. Pollack [7] and M. Greenberg [3] with a new unified presentation including the non-ordinary case. This construction is based on Stevens's modular symbols rather than q-developments. We review the proofs in order to obtain an effective algorithm guaranteeing a given p-adic accuracy.
