$p$-adic $L$-functions for $\mathrm U(2,1)\times\mathrm U(1,1)$

We construct the five-variable $p$-adic $L$-function attached to Hida families on $\mathrm U(2,1)\times\mathrm U(1,1)$, interpolating the square-root of Rankin-Selberg $L$-values in the \emph{shifted piano} range. Our construction relies on a new theta operator and its $p$-adic variation which plays a role analogous to the classical Ramanujan-Serre theta operator in Hida's $p$-adic Rankin-Selberg method. The interpolation formula, including the modified Euler factors at $p$ and at the real place, is consistent with the conjectural shape of $p$-adic $L$-functions predicted by Coates and Perrin-Riou.

On the congruence ideal associated to $p$-adic families of Yoshida lifts

We study congruences involving $p$-adic families of Hecke eigensystems of Yoshida lifts associated with two Hida families (say $\mathcal{F},\mathcal{G}$) of elliptic cusp forms. With appropriate hypotheses, we show that if a Hida family of genus two Siegel cusp forms admits a Yoshida lift at an appropriately chosen classical specialization, then all classical specializations are Yoshida lifts. Moreover, we prove that the characteristic ideal of the non-primitive Selmer group of (a self-dual twist of) the Rankin--Selberg convolution of $\mathcal{F}$ and $\mathcal{G}$ is divisible by the congruence ideal of the Yoshida lift associated with $\mathcal{F}$ and $\mathcal{G}$. Under an additional assumption inspired by pseudo-nullity conjectures in higher codimension Iwasawa theory, we establish the pseudo-cyclicity of the dual of the primitive Selmer group over the cyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extension.

Five-variable $p$-adic $L$-functions for $U(3)\times U(2)$

We construct a five-variable $p$-adic $L$-function attached to Hida families on the definite unitary groups $U(3)$ and $U(2)$ by using the Ichino-Ikeda formula. The interpolation formula fits into the conjectural shape of $p$-adic $L$-functions predicted by Coates and Perrin-Riou.

Four-variable $p$-adic triple product $L$-functions and the trivial zero conjecture

We construct the four-variable primitive $p$-adic $L$-functions associated with the triple product of Hida families and prove the explicit interpolation formulae at all critical values in the balanced range. Our construction is to carry out the $p$-adic interpolation of Garrett's integral representation of triple product $L$-functions via the $p$-adic Rankin-Selberg convolution method. As an application, we obtain the cyclotomic $p$-adic $L$-function for the motive associated with the triple product of elliptic curves and prove the trivial zero conjecture for this motive.

Bessel periods and anticyclotomic $p$-adic spinor $L$-functions

We construct the anticyclotomic $p$-adic $L$-function that interpolates a square root of central values of twisted spinor $L$-functions of a quadratic base change of a Siegel cusp form of genus $2$ with respect to a paramodular group of square-free level, assuming the Böcherer conjecture for the central $L$-values with anticyclotomic twists.

The derivative formula of $p$-adic $L$-functions for imaginary quadratic fields at trivial zeros

The rank one Gross conjecture for Deligne-Ribet $p$-adic $L$-functions was solved in works of Darmon-Dasgupta-Pollack and Ventullo by the Eisenstein congruence among Hilbert modular forms. The purpose of this paper is to prove an analogue of the Gross conjecture for the Katz $p$-adic $L$-functions attached to imaginary quadratic fields via the congruences between CM forms and non-CM forms. The new ingredient is to apply the $p$-adic Rankin-Selberg method to construct a non-CM Hida family which is congruent to a Hida family of CM forms at the $1+\varepsilon$ specialization.

CM congruence and trivial zeros of the Katz $p$-adic $L$-functions for CM fields

The aim of this paper is to investigate the trivial zeros of the Katz $p$-adic $L$-functions by the CM congruence. We prove the existence of trivial zeros of the Katz $p$-adic $L$-functions for general CM fields and establish a first derivative formula of the cyclotomic $p$-adic $L$-functions at trivial zeros under some Leopoldt hypothesis. The crucial ingredients in our proof are a special case of $p$-adic Kronecker limit formula for CM fields and a leading term formula of anticyclotomic $p$-adic $L$-functions at trivial zeros via the explicit congruences between CM and non-CM Hida families of Hilbert cusp forms.

Restriction of Eisenstein series and Stark-Heegner points

In a recent work of Darmon, Pozzi and Vonk, the authors consider a particular $p$-adic family of Hilbert Eisenstein series $E_k(1,\brch)$ associated with an odd character $\brch$ of the narrow ideal class group of a real quadratic field $F$ and compute the first derivative of a certain one-variable twisted triple product $p$-adic $L$-series attached to $E_k(1,\brch)$ and an elliptic newform $f$ of weight $2$ on $Γ_0(p)$. In this paper, we generalize their construction to include the cyclotomic variable and thus obtain a two-variable twisted triple product $p$-adic $L$-series. Moreover, when $f$ is associated with an elliptic curve $E$ over $\Q$, we prove that the first derivative of this $p$-adic $L$-series along the weight direction is a product of the $p$-adic logarithm of a Stark-Heegner point of $E$ over $F$ introduced by Darmon and the cyclotomic $p$-adic $L$-function for $E$.

Hida families and p-adic triple product L-functions

We construct the three-variable p-adic triple product L-functions attached to Hida families of ellptic newforms and prove the explicit interpolation formulae at all critical specializations by establishing explicit Ichino's formulae for the trilinear period integrals of automorphic forms. Our formulae perfectly fit the conjectural shape of p-adic L-functions predicted by Coates and Perrin-Riou. As an application, we prove the factorization of certain unbalanced p-adic triple product L-functions into a product of anticyclotomic p-adic L-functions for modular forms. By this factorization, we give a new construction of the anticyclotomic p-adic L-functions for elliptic curves in the definite case via the diagonal cycle Euler system á la Darmon and Rotger and obtain a Greenberg-Stevens style proof of anticyclotomic exceptional zero conjecture for elliptic curves due to Bertolini and Darmon.

On the non-vanishing of generalized Kato classes for elliptic curves of rank $2$

We prove the first cases of a conjecture by Darmon--Rotger on the non-vanishing of generalized Kato classes attached to elliptic curves $E$ over $\mathbf{Q}$ of rank $2$. Our method also shows that the non-vanishing of generalized Kato classes implies that the $p$-adic Selmer group of $E$ is $2$-dimensional. The main novelty in the proof is a formula for the leading term at the trivial character of an anticyclotomic $p$-adic $L$-function attached to $E$ in terms of the derived $p$-adic height of generalized Kato classes and an enhanced $p$-adic regulator.

Heegner cycles and $p$-adic $L$-functions

In this paper, we deduce the vanishing of Selmer groups for the Rankin-Selberg convolution of a cusp form with a theta series of higher weight from the nonvanishing of the associated $L$-value, thus establishing the rank 0 case of the Bloch-Kato conjecture in these cases. Our methods are based on the connection between Heegner cycles and $p$-adic $L$-functions, building upon recent work of Bertolini, Darmon and Prasanna, and on an extension of Kolyvagin's method of Euler systems to the anticyclotomic setting. In the course of the proof, we also obtain a higher weight analogue of Mazur's conjecture (as proven in weight 2 by Cornut-Vatsal), and as a consequence of our results, we deduce from Nekovar's work a proof of the parity conjecture in this setting.

Bessel periods and the non-vanishing of Yoshida lifts modulo a prime

We give an explicit construction of vector-valued Yoshida lifts and derive a formula of the Bessel periods of Yoshida lifts, by which we prove the non-vanishing modulo a prime of Yoshida lifts attached to a pair of elliptic modular newforms. As a consequence, we obtain a new proof of the non-vanishing of Yoshida lifts.

Special values of anticyclotomic L-functions for modular forms

In this article, we generalize some works of Bertolini-Darmon and Vatsal on anticyclotomic L-functions attached to modular forms of weight two to higher weight case. We construct a class of anticyclotomic p-adic L-functions for ordinary modular forms and derive the functional equation and the interpolation formula at all critical specializations. Moreover, we prove results on the vanishing of mu-invariant of these p-adic L-functions and the non-vanishing of central L-values with anticyclotomic twists.

In this article, we follow Hida's approach to study the mu-invariant of the anticyclotomic projection of p-adic Hecke L-functions for CM fields along a branch character. We prove a conjecture of Gillard on the vanishing of the mu-invariant and give an exact mu-invariant formula for self-dual branch characters.

Special values of anticyclcotomic Rankin-Selberg L-functions

In this article, we prove an explicit Waldspurger formula for the toric Hilbert modular forms. As an application, we construct a class of anticyclotomic p-adic Rankin-Selberg L-functions for Hilbert modular forms, generalizing the construction of Bertolini, Darmon and Prasanna in the elliptic case. Moreover, building on works of Hida, we give a necessary and sufficient condition when the Iwasawa mu-invariant of this p-adic L-function vanishes and prove a result on the non-vanishing modulo $p$ of central Rankin-Selberg L-values with anticyclotomic twists.
