An introduction to Eisenstein measures

From MaRDI portal
Publication:2073993




Abstract: This paper provides an introduction to Eisenstein measures, a powerful tool for constructing certain p-adic L-functions. First seen in Serre's realization of p-adic Dedekind zeta functions associated to totally real fields, Eisenstein measures provide a way to extend the style of congruences Kummer observed for values of the Riemann zeta function (so-called {em Kummer congruences}) to certain other L-functions. In addition to tracing key developments, we discuss some challenges that arise in more general settings, concluding with some that remain open.
