On computing the Newton polygons of plus and minus $p$-adic $L$-functions

Abstract

This article is a computational extension of [Forum Math. Sigma. 7 (2019), art. id. e25]. Let $p \geq 3$ be a prime number and $E ∕ ℚ$ an elliptic curve with good supersingular reduction at $p$ and $a_{p} (E) = 0$ . We study the computation of the Newton polygons of Pollack’s plus and minus $p$ -adic $L$ -functions attached to $E$ . This allows us to furnish new examples where Assumption GCD in the aforementioned article holds. Furthermore, we rectify two imprecisions in the previous article.
