Non-abelian congruences between L -values of elliptic curves

Daniel Delbourgo, Tom Ward (2008)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Let E be a semistable elliptic curve over . We prove weak forms of Kato’s K 1 -congruences for the special values L 1 , E / ( μ p n , Δ p n ) . More precisely, we show that they are true modulo p n + 1 , rather than modulo p 2 n . Whilst not quite enough to establish that there is a non-abelian L -function living in K 1 p [ [ Gal ( ( μ p , Δ p ) / ) ] ] , they do provide strong evidence towards the existence of such an analytic object. For example, if n = 1 these verify the numerical congruences found by Tim and Vladimir Dokchitser.

Non-abelian p -adic L -functions and Eisenstein series of unitary groups – The CM method

Thanasis Bouganis (2014)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

In this work we prove various cases of the so-called “torsion congruences” between abelian p -adic L -functions that are related to automorphic representations of definite unitary groups. These congruences play a central role in the non-commutative Iwasawa theory as it became clear in the works of Kakde, Ritter and Weiss on the non-abelian Main Conjecture for the Tate motive. We tackle these congruences for a general definite unitary group of n variables and we obtain more explicit results in the...

Nonvanishing of a certain Bernoulli number and a related topic

Humio Ichimura (2013)

Acta Arithmetica

Let p = 1 + 2 e + 1 q be an odd prime number with q an odd integer. Let δ (resp. φ) be an odd (resp. even) Dirichlet character of conductor p and order 2 e + 1 (resp. order d φ dividing q), and let ψₙ be an even character of conductor p n + 1 and order pⁿ. We put χ = δφψₙ, whose value is contained in K = ( ζ ( p - 1 ) p ) . It is well known that the Bernoulli number B 1 , χ is not zero, which is shown in an analytic way. In the extreme cases d φ = 1 and q, we show, in an algebraic and elementary manner, a stronger nonvanishing result: T r n / 1 ( ξ B 1 , χ ) 0 for any pⁿth root ξ...
