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 ...

Does there exist a polynomial that extracts the highest digit of an integer in base p?
Given an odd prime $p$, a positive integer $1 \lt n$, and an integer $x \in \mathbb{Z}/p^n\mathbb{Z}$, does there exist an an integer-coefficient polynomial that extracts the highest digit of $x$?
The ...

$p$-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 ...
