Abstract:
The p-adic coefficients and zeros of certain formal power series defined by Iwasawa have been calculated modulo various powers of p. Using these results and Iwasawa’s formula for the p-adic L-function ${L_p}(s;\chi )$ of Kubota and Leopoldt, several p-adic places of the zero of ${L_p}(s;\chi )$ were computed for the irregular primes $p \leqslant 157$.References
