The p-adic number system for any prime number p extends the ordinary arithmetic of the rational numbers in a different way from the extension of the rational number system to the real and complex number systems

Transcendence of a ratio of p-adic logarithms

Let $p, \ell_1, \ell_2$ be distinct prime numbers, and $x_1, x_2 \in \overline{\mathbf{Q}}^\times$. If $$ \frac{\log_p x_1}{\log_p \ell_1} = \frac{\log_p x_2}{\log_p \ell_2}, $$ does it follow that …

$(\varphi, \Gamma)$-modules of finite height

Proposition: If $D$ is not of finite height, then nor is $D \otimes \delta$ for any $\delta$ of rank 1. Proof: It suffices to show the contrapositive: if $D$ is of finite height so is $D \otimes \de …

$p$-adic L function of an odd Dirichlet character

Theorem. Let $p > 2$ be prime, and let $\chi$ be a Dirichlet character (non-trivial, and of prime-to-$p$ conductor, for simplicity). Choose $t \in \mathbb{Z} / (p-1)\mathbb{Z}$ such that $(-1)^t = \ch …

Some questions on the $p$-adic properties of special $L$-values

You might enjoy reading this paper: Avner Ash and Glenn Stevens, "Modular forms in characteristic $\ell$ and special values of their L-functions", Duke Math. J. 53 (1986), no. 3, 849-868. The gist of …

What is the value of $p$-adic $\zeta$-function at positive integer point?

If you use this definition, then $\zeta_p(k)$ is zero at negative even integers $k$, so by a $p$-adic continuity argument, it must also be zero at positive even integers. What about the odd integers? …

Describing the Gamma-transform explicitly in terms of power series

This is a hard problem (and one which is easily overlooked by the unwary)! Just to be clear, I'll summarize (how I think about) the problem: as a relation between additive and multiplicative Fourier t …

Non-existence of "higher" Artin map

There is no way of reformulating local Langlands for $n > 1$ in terms of such a map. Local Langlands is a bijection between irreducible smooth representations of $\operatorname{GL}_n(K)$, and $n$-dime …

p-adic L functions from Selmer groups - how canonical are they?

All of your questions are undermined by the same fundamental issue: you cannot talk about "the" p-adic $L$-function in this generality, because there is no sensible definition of what a $p$-adic $L$-f …

$p$-adic analogue of modular forms, upper half-plane, and $L$-functions

The subjects of "p-adic L-functions" and "p-adic modular forms" are so closely intertwined that it's virtually impossible to talk about either one without immediately running into the other. Applicati …

What is the $p$-adic Langlands conjecture for $\mathbf{GL}_1$?

I am not sure it makes sense to ask "what is the p-adic local Langlands conjecture for $\mathrm{GL}_1$". Nobody has succeeded in even formulating a reasonable candidate for a p-adic LLC for $\mathrm{G …
