Abstract

We compute the p-adic L-functions of evil Eisenstein series using an explicit Eisenstein modular symbol constructed from Shintani cocycles.

Résumé

On calcule la fonction L p-adique attachée à une série d’Eisenstein critique, en se servant d’un symbole modulaire Eisenstein explicite construit à partir de cocycles de Shintani.

Acknowledgments

The contents of this paper have been adapted from portions of my Ph.D. thesis, which was supervised by Glenn Stevens; it is a great pleasure to thank him for his enormous influence and patient guidance. This paper would not have been possible without his constant encouragement and support. I would also like to thank Matthew Greenberg, Robert Pollack, and Jay Pottharst for many helpful conversations during the writing of this paper. Finally, I would like to thank the anonymous referee for a careful reading and many helpful comments.
