On Bernoulli identities and applications.

Minking Eie, King F. Lai (1998)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

Bernoulli numbers appear as special values of zeta functions at integers and identities relating the Bernoulli numbers follow as a consequence of properties of the corresponding zeta functions. The most famous example is that of the special values of the Riemann zeta function and the Bernoulli identities due to Euler. In this paper we introduce a general principle for producing Bernoulli identities and apply it to zeta functions considered by Shintani, Zagier and Eie. Our results include some of...

On the linear independence of p -adic L -functions modulo p

Bruno Anglès, Gabriele Ranieri (2010)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Let p 3 be a prime. Let n such that n 1 , let χ 1 , ... , χ n be characters of conductor d not divided by p and let ω be the Teichmüller character. For all i between 1 and n , for all j between 0 and ( p - 3 ) / 2 , set θ i , j = χ i ω 2 j + 1 if χ i is odd ; χ i ω 2 j if χ i is even . Let K = p ( χ 1 , ... , χ n ) and let π be a prime of the valuation ring 𝒪 K of K . For all i , j let f ( T , θ i , j ) be the Iwasawa series associated to θ i , j and f ( T , θ i , j ) ¯ its reduction modulo ( π ) . Finally let 𝔽 p ¯ be an algebraic closure of 𝔽 p . Our main result is that if the characters χ i are all distinct modulo ( π ) , then 1 and the series f ( T , θ i , j ) ¯ are linearly independent over a certain...
