Feb 9, 2020 at 6:00 comment added KConrad The difference between Prop. 4.6 and Prop. 4.7 is that the integral in Prop. 4.6 holds for all $\sigma \in \mathbf R$ while the integral in Prop. 4.7 holds for $\sigma > 0$.
Feb 9, 2020 at 5:59 comment added KConrad Please don't use the exact same notation for equation references and theorem/proposition references. Your "(4.14)" means equation 4.14, but your similar notation "(4.6)" and "(4.7)" mean Prop. 4.6 and Prop. 4.7, not equations 4.6 and 4.7.
Feb 9, 2020 at 5:51 comment added MCS Also, if the constant function on the integer ring of the field isn't a good candidate for (4.6), why does (4.7) then appear to immediately proceed to apply (4.14) to said function?

Feb 9, 2020 at 5:38 comment added MCS I don't know how to simplify it further without an explicit formula for the $\eta$. I'm also unsure of how to get rid of the $\times$ in the $\mathbb{Z}_{p}^{\times}$, or make the $\mathbb{Z}_{p}$-unit $\frac{a}{p^{m}}$ into a 1.
Feb 9, 2020 at 5:30 comment added MCS So far, what I've got for the integral is: $\int_{\mathbb{Q}_{p}^{\times}}\left[\mathfrak{z}\overset{p^{n}}{\equiv}a\right]\left|\mathfrak{z}\right|_{p}^{s-1}\eta\left(\mathfrak{z}\right)d\mathfrak{z}=\frac{1}{p^{ms}}\int_{\frac{a}{p^{m}}+p^{n-m}\mathbb{Z}_{p}^{\times}}\left|\mathfrak{z}\right|_{p}^{s-1}\eta\left(p^{m}\mathfrak{z}\right)d\mathfrak{z}$ where $\left|a\right|_{p}=p^{-m}>p^{-n}$, and where the $\eta$ is the one you mentioned above. $\left[\mathfrak{z}\overset{p^{n}}{\equiv}a\right]$ is the iverson bracket for $a+p^{n}\mathbb{Z}_{p}$ (1 if true, 0 if false).
Feb 9, 2020 at 4:45 comment added KConrad I am using $\xi_A$ in my post for the characteristic function of a set $A$, so please don't use $\xi$ in a comment to mean a character on $\mathbf Z_p$ (or $\mathbf Q_p$).
Feb 9, 2020 at 4:31 comment added MCS So far, I've got $\chi\left(x\right)=\left|x\right|_{p}^{s}\times?$ as the formula for the $\chi$ in the integral. Need to know what the ? is.
Feb 9, 2020 at 4:21 comment added MCS Some questions: (1) does any of this simplify (even slightly) if we assume that the functions we are transforming are defined only on $\mathbb{Z}_{p}$ (if so, how)? (2) How can we write a generic $\eta$ here "explicitly"? (Ex: like how, for a character $\xi$ on $\mathbb{Z}_{p}$, the "explicit" form of $\xi$ is $\xi\left(\mathfrak{z}\right)=e^{-2\pi i\left\{ t\mathfrak{z}\right\} _{p}}$ for some $t\in\mathbb{Z}\left[\frac{1}{p}\right]/\mathbb{Z}$, treated here as a rational number in $\left[0,1\right)$). I can't know if I can do the integral or not until I see it written explicitly. xD
