Motives over totally real fields and -adic -functions
Special values of certain functions of the type are studied where is a motive over a totally real field with coefficients in another field , andis an Euler product running through maximal ideals of the maximal order of andbeing a polynomial with coefficients in . Using the Newton and the Hodge polygons of one formulate a conjectural criterium for the existence of a -adic analytic continuation of the special values. This conjecture is verified in a number of cases related to...
