[For the entire collection see Zbl 0707.00010.] (From the introduction:) Let \(p\) be a rational prime. If \(A\) is an abelian variety with good reduction over an unramified extension \(K\) of \(\mathbb{Q}_ p\), then there is a natural Frobenius-linear endomorphism of \(H^ 1_{DR}(A,K)\). The Jacobian of the Fermat curve \(F_ m:x^ m+y^ m=1\) has good reduction over \(\mathbb{Q}_ p\), so long as \((m,p)=1\). In a previous work [cf. Galois representation and arithmetic algebraic geometry, Proc. Symp., Kyoto/Jap. 1985 and Tokyo/Jap. 1986, Adv. Stud. Pure Math. 12, 21-52 (1987; Zbl 0644.12008)] the author computed the matrix of the corresponding endomorphism with respect to the basis of \(H^ 1_{DR}(A,K)\) represented by the differentials: \[ \omega_{m,i,j}=x^ iy^ j(y/x)d(x/y), \] where \(0<i<m\), \(0<j<m\), \(i+j\not= m\), in terms of the special values of the \(p\)-adic gamma function at rational arguments. In the general case, the Jacobian of \(F_ m\) has good reduction over an algebraic closure of \(\mathbb{Q}_ p\), but not over an unramified extension of \(\mathbb{Q}_ p\). As a result, one no longer has a canonical Frobenius- linear endomorphism. Instead one has a canonical action of the crystalline Weil group on \(H^ 1_{DR}(F_ m,K)\). The corresponding ``Frobenius matrices'' with respect to the previous basis for cohomology are here calculated. They are expressed in terms of an extension of the Morita gamma function to all of \(\mathbb{Q}_ p\). The resulting formulas resemble the formula for the complex periods in terms of the classical gamma function. This paper is closely related to the paper of \textit{A. Ogus} published in the same volume [\(p\)-adic analysis, Lect. Notes Math. 1454, 319-341 (1990; see the following review)].
