Analytic constructions of p-adic L-functions and Eisenstein series

Abstract

The Fourier coefficients of the Siegel-Eisenstein series are p-adically continued for all primes p, as meromorphic functions, using the reciprocal of a product of L-functions. A construction of p-adic meromorphic families of such series is given in relation to the geometry of homogeneous spaces. Applications are given to p-adic L-functions, to Siegel's Mass Formula, to p-adic analytic families of automorphic representations.
