On $p$-Adic Absolute CM-Periods II

p-ADIC PERIODS, p-ADIC L-FUNCTIONS, AND THE p-ADIC UNIFORMIZATION OF SHIMURA CURVES

Irrationality of Certain p - adic Periods for Small p

Apéry’s proof [13] of the irrationality of ζ(3) is now over 25 years old, and it is perhaps surprising that his methods have not yielded any significant new results (although further progress has been made on the irrationality of zeta values [1, 14]). Shortly after the initial proof, Beukers produced two elegant reinterpretations of Apéry’s arguments; the first using iterated integrals and Lege...

On p-adic Artin L-functions II

Let p be a prime. Iwasawa’s famous conjecture relating Kubota-Leopoldt p-adic L-functions to the structure of certain Galois groups has been proven by Mazur and Wiles in [10]. Wiles later proved a far-reaching generalization involving p-adic L-functions for Hecke characters of finite order for a totally real number field in [14]. As we discussed in [5], an analogue of Iwasawa’s conjecture for p...

SIMPLE p - ADIC GROUPS , II

0.1. For any finite group Γ, a “nonabelian Fourier transform matrix” was introduced in [L1]. This is a square matrix whose rows and columns are indexed by pairs formed by an element of Γ and an irreducible representation of the centralizer of that element (both defined up to conjugation). As shown in [L2], this matrix, which is unitary with square 1, enters (for suitable Γ) in the character for...

The P-adic Cm-method for Genus 2

We present a nonarchimedian method to construct hyperelliptic CM-curves of genus 2 over finite prime fields. Throughout the document we use the following conventions (this is only for the reference and use of the authors): d degree of the base field of the curve, i.e. C/F 2 d s number of isomorphism classes, in elliptic curve case s = h K n degree of an irreducible component of class invariants...
