<p>Let $\zeta_K(s)$ be the Dedekind zeta function for a number field $K$. We can understand the first non-vanishing coefficient of its Laurent series via the class number formula. Is anything known/conjectured about the next term?</p> <p>On a related note, the BSD conjecture predicts the value of the first non-vanishing Taylor coefficient of the Hasse-Weil $L$-function of (say) an elliptic curve. Are there any conjectures about the coefficients after that?</p>

<p>I have an extremely elementary question. Let's say someone randomly hands you a theta function associated to a Niemeier lattice (unimodular even, n=24). What can you say about which Niemeier lattice gave you this theta function in the first place?</p>

<p>Why do elliptic curves have bad reduction at some point if they are defined over Q, but not necessarily over arbitrary number fields?</p>

<p>Given a modular form, what is the precise formulation of BSD (in particular, the residue formula for the $L$-function at special values)? And what about the special values if the $L$-function is twisted by some character? Does there exist a good reference?</p>

<p>If someone hands you a prime number $p$, and an algebraic number $x$ inside the Hasse-Weil bound, is there a normalized newform (say of weight two) so that $a_p=x$, where $a_p$ is the $p$th Fourier coefficient?</p>

<p>Fix a prime p, and look at elliptic curves in some family (e.g. all elliptic curves ordered by height). How often do the Fourier coefficients a_p occur? Are there any conjectures?</p>

<p>In commutative Iwasawa theory, the main conjecture states that the p-adic L-function generates the characteristic ideal of an algebraic object. Non-commutative Iwasawa theory seems to mimik this - except that the existence of the object on the analytic side (to my knowledge) is still conjectural. My question is: why is it so hard to define a "non-commutative" p-adic L-function? And on a more technical note: In Coates-Fukaya-Kato-Sujatha-Venjakob, this conjectural function only exists for primes of good ordinary reduction. This seems to imply that in the excluded cases, things go horribly wrong. Does anybody know what or why?</p>

<p>For modular forms, it is known that you can construct p-adic L-functions by interpolating (p-power conductor) twists of their associated L-functions at special values. Similarly, Kubota-Leopoldt's p-adic L-function can be constructed by interpolating Dirichlet L-functions at negative integers. My question is: how general is this method? For example, for which (L-functions of) automorphic representations have p-adic L-functions been constructed?</p>

<p>@Emmerton: Thanks so much for your answer! So has GL_n been done over Q, or is this also part of your paper? </p>

thanks to both of you for the references!

Dear Ben and Alex, that's right, I was being imprecise. I meant normalized newform.

Wow, thanks! David's and Papalardi's paper seems to answer the question for a fixed prime, too (section 4). It's in term of the Kronecker class number, as David wrote above.

Thanks so much! Printing it out now...
