I am reading about $p$-adic $L$-functions and I have one question in mind.
To start with, I will write a proof I've learned of a congruence of $L$-values:
Theorem: Let $p\geq5$ be a prime, $\alpha\...

Describing the Gamma-transform explicitly in terms of power series
The Gamma transform of a measure is defined as follows. If $\alpha$ is a $\mathbf{Z}_p$-valued measure on $\mathbf{Z}_p$, then the Gamma transform of $\alpha$ is:
$$\Gamma_{\alpha}(s) = \int_{\mathbf{...

Finding a certain value of $\Gamma_p$
Let $\Gamma_p : \mathbb{Z}_p \to \mathbb{Z}_p^{\times}$ be the $p$-adic gamma function. I thought that I had successfully calculated $\Gamma_p(1 - 1/4)$, but sage is telling me I'm wrong (this is ...
