On p-adic L-functions for symplectic representations of GL(N) over number fields

Abstract: Let

F

be a number field, and

p i

a regular algebraic cuspidal automorphic representation of

m a t h r m {G L}_{N} (m a t h b b A_{F})

of symplectic type. When

p i

is spherical at all primes

m a t h f r a k p | p

, we construct a

p

-adic

L

-function attached to any regular non-critical spin

p

-refinement

i l d e p i

of

p i

to

Q

-parahoric level, where

Q

is the

(n, n)

-parabolic. More precisely, we construct a distribution

L_{p} (i l d e p i)

on the Galois group

m a t h r m {G a l}_{p}

of the maximal abelian extension of

F

unramified outside

p i n f t y

, and show that it interpolates all the standard critical

L

-values of

p i

at

p

(including, for example, cyclotomic and anticyclotomic variation when

F

is imaginary quadratic). We show that

L_{p} (i l d e p i)

satisfies a natural growth condition; in particular, when

i l d e p i

is ordinary,

L_{p} (i l d e p i)

is a (bounded) measure on

m a t h r m {G a l}_{p}

. As a corollary, when

p i

is unitary, has very regular weight, and is

Q

-ordinary at all

m a t h f r a k p | p

, we deduce non-vanishing

L (p i i m e s (c h i c i r c N_{F / m a t h b b Q}), 1 / 2) e q 0

of the twisted central value for all but finitely many Dirichlet characters

c h i

of

p

-power conductor.
