p-adic L functions from Selmer groups - how canonical are they?
For this question, I am going to be very concrete but very much appreciate broader viewpoints. Let $F$ be a number field and define $F_n = F(\mu_{p^n})$ and let us suppose for simplicity that $\mu_p \...

$p$-adic L function of an odd Dirichlet character
Apologies for a naive question (especially for Iwasawa theorists): it is well-known
and trivial to prove that the usual (elementary) construction of $p$-adic L functions
attached to odd Dirichlet ...

$p$-adic analogue of modular forms, upper half-plane, and $L$-functions
In the classical picture, there is the (complex) modular form, defined on the (complex) upper half plane, which is related to the (complex) $L$-function via the Mellin transform. As I have recently ...

$p$-adic $L$-functions and congruence of $L$-values
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\...

Why are the $p$-adic $L$-functions for a modular form with $a_p=0$ conjugates?
I have a question about the proof of Theorem 3.5 in Pollack's 2003 paper On the $p$-adic L-function of a Modular Form at a Supersingular Prime.
The setup is as follows. Fix an eigenform $f\in S_k(N,\...

Sign error in $\pm$-parts of modular symbols?
I am trying to connect the definition of $\pm$-modular symbols given in [Pollack, pg. 529] and [MTT,pg. 11] to those appearing in [Greenberg-Stevens, pg. 200 in #20 here], but I can't seem to ...

Some questions on the $p$-adic properties of special $L$-values
Warning: Some naive, speculative questions from a total non expert.
Let $\rho$ be a p-adic representation of the Galois group $Gal(\overline K/K)$ for a number field $K$. We can consider the Artin L-...

Change of variables for $p$-adic integral
Say $p$ is an odd prime. Suppose I have a measure $\mu$ on $\mathbf{Z}_p$. As in II.4.3 in Colmez - Fonctions d'une variable $p$-adique, I can restrict $\mu$ to $1+p\mathbf Z_p$, and there is a ...

Calculation of Tate epsilon factor in the ramified case
Let $F$ be a nonarchimedean local field, $\chi$ a ramified character of $F^{\ast}$, $\psi$ a nontrivial character of $F$, and $dx$ a Haar measure on $F$ with respect to which the Fourier transform is ...
