Modular motives have coefficients in Hecke algebras. According to the equivariant philosophy, special
values of
-functions
of eigencuspforms should therefore exhibit equivariant properties with respect to
various Hecke actions. This article shows that this is indeed the case at least under
broad conditions on ramification and deduces from them new properties of the
Iwasawa main conjecture for modular forms.
