Abstract:
We study the p-adic L-function of Amice & Velu and Vishik associated to an eigenform f, give an explicit construction of the underlying h-admissible distribution and discuss in detail the analyticity and interpolation properties the L-function satisfies. We then study Stevens’ space of overconvergent modular symbols and link the two discussions together via a theorem.
