On pairs of $p$-adic $L$-functions for weight-two modular forms

Florian Sprung

Vol. 11 (2017), No. 4, 885–928
Abstract

The point of this paper is to give an explicit p-adic analytic construction of two Iwasawa functions, Lp(f,T) and Lp(f,T), for a weight-two modular form anqn and a good prime p. This generalizes work of Pollack who worked in the supersingular case and also assumed ap = 0. These Iwasawa functions work in tandem to shed some light on the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjectures in the cyclotomic direction: we bound the rank and estimate the growth of the Šafarevič–Tate group in the cyclotomic direction analytically, encountering a new phenomenon for small slopes.

Dedicated to Barry, Joe, and Rob
