P-adic Spaces of Continuous Functions II

Necessary and sufficient conditions are given so that the space C(X, E) of all continuous functions from a zero-dimensional topological space X to a nonArchimedean locally convex space E, equipped with the topology of uniform convergence on the compact subsets of X, to be polarly absolutely quasi-barrelled, polarly אo-barrelled, polarly `∞-barrelled or polarly co-barrelled. Also, tensor product...

On p-adic Artin L-functions II

Let p be a prime. Iwasawa’s famous conjecture relating Kubota-Leopoldt p-adic L-functions to the structure of certain Galois groups has been proven by Mazur and Wiles in [10]. Wiles later proved a far-reaching generalization involving p-adic L-functions for Hecke characters of finite order for a totally real number field in [14]. As we discussed in [5], an analogue of Iwasawa’s conjecture for p...

Completely continuous endomorphisms of p-adic Banach spaces

In Dwork’s memoir [3] concerning the rationality of zeta functions, an essential role is played by the p-adic analytic function det(1− tu), where u is a certain infinite matrix. This analytic function is an entire function, exactly as in the classical Fredholm theory. It was natural to pursue this analogy and extend to u the spectral theory of F. Riesz; this is just what Dwork did ([4], §2). In...

COMPUTATION OF THE ZEROS OF p-ADIC ¿FUNCTIONS. II

The authors have carried out a computational study of the zeros of Kubota-Leopoldt p-adic L-functions. Results of this study have appeared recently in a previous article. The present paper is a sequel to that article, dealing with the computation of the zeros under certain conditions that complicate the original situation.
