Colliot-Thélène, Jean-Louis et al., Arithmetic algebraic geometry. Lectures given at the 2nd session of the Centro Internazionale Matematico Estivo (C.I.M.E.), held in Trento, Italy, June 24 - July 2, 1991. Berlin: Springer-Verlag. Lect. Notes Math. 1553, 50-163 (1993).
The arithmetic of special values of various zeta-functions in the non- archimedean world is the main theme of these lecture notes. Its aims are (1) to review some known relationships between zeta values and the theory of $$p$$-adic periods, and then (2) to investigate $$p$$-adic zeta elements (non-archimedean analogues of zeta values in $$\mathbb{C})$$ using $$p$$-adic periods.
A generalized Iwasawa main conjecture is formulated in Chapter I as the motivation for the subsequent discussions. Then Local Theory, namely, the arithmetic of $$p$$-adic fields, $$p$$-adic periods related to Fontaine’s ring $$B_{dR}$$ is discussed in Chapter II. Chapter III is concerned with Global Theory, e.g., relationships between zeta values and explicit reciprocity laws, and relationships between $$p$$-adic zeta elements and $$p$$-adic zeta functions.
The generalized Iwasawa main conjecture asserts, among other things, the existence of $$p$$-adic zeta elements of $$p$$-adic Galois representations, and relationships between the $$p$$-adic zeta elements arising from $$p$$- adic Galois representations of some motives and the archimedean zeta values in $$\mathbb{C}$$.
This conjecture is not proved in this paper, but it is shown, for instance, that a conjecture of J. Coates and B. Perrin-Riou on $$p$$-adic $$L$$-functions [Adv. Stud. Pure Math. 17, 23-54 (1989; Zbl 0783.11039)] follows from the conjecture.
The local analogue of the main conjecture is formulated. It asserts that a Galois representation of a $$p$$-adic local field with coefficients in a $$p$$-adic ring $$\Lambda$$ has a $$p$$-adic $$\varepsilon$$-element (an analogue of the $$\varepsilon$$-factor of an $$\ell$$-adic Galois representation), which is a basis for a certain $$\Lambda$$-module.
A generalized explicit reciprocity law is proved for Lubin-Tate formal groups. That is, an explicit description is given for the dual exponential map $$\exp^*$$ for $$T^{\otimes (-r)} (1) \otimes \mathbb{Q}$$ $$(r \geq 1)$$, where $$T$$ is the Tate module of the Lubin-Tate group. This generalizes the result of A. Wiles [Ann. Math., II. Ser. 107, 235- 254 (1978; Zbl 0378.12006)] and that of S. Bloch and K. Kato [Grothendieck Festschrift Vol. I, 333-400 (1990; Zbl 0768.14001)].
As an application of the explicit reciprocity law, the images of the zeta elements under the dual exponential maps are computed in the following cases: $$\mathbb{Q}$$ and class number 1 imaginary quadratic fields. The images are related to values of partial Riemann zeta-function in the former case, and to values of some Hecke $$L$$-series in the latter case.
