Our objective in this series of two articles, of which the present article is the first, is to give a Perrin-Riou-style construction of p-adic L-functions (of Bellaïche and Stevens) over the eigencurve. As the first ingredient, we interpolate the Beilinson–Kato elements over the eigencurve (including the neighborhoods of θ-critical points). Along the way, we prove étale variants of Bellaïche’s results describing the local properties of the eigencurve. We also develop the local framework to construct and establish the interpolative properties of these p-adic L-functions away from θ-critical points. Résumé Ce texte est le premier d’une série de deux articles consacrés à la construction des fonctions Lp-adiques de Bellaïche et Stevens sur la courbe de Hecke par la méthode de Perrin-Riou. Nous commençons par interpoler les éléments de Beilinson–Kato le long de la courbe de Hecke, y compris aux voisinages des points θ-critiques. Chemin faisant, nous prouvons une version étale des résultats de Bellaïche sur la structure locale de la courbe. Nous donnons un cadre pour construire les fonctions Lp-adiques et établir leurs propriétés d’interpolation en dehors des points θ-critiques.

Let us also put ι := ι◦ι .Let f = a ( f )q ∈ S ( ( N)∩ p p ∞ n k+2 1 ( p), ε) be a cuspidal eigenform (for all Hecke operators {T } and {U , } )of 0 N |Np weight k + 2 ≥ 2 with p N . When ord ι (a ( f )) < k + 1, Amice–Vélu in [2]and Višik p p p in [34] have given a construction of a p-adic L-function L ( f , s), which is characterized with the property that it interpolates the critical values of Hecke L-functions attached to (twists) of f . The analogous result in the extreme case when ord ι (a ( f )) = k + 1 (in which case p p p we say that f has critical slope) was established by Pollack–Stevens in [32] and Bellaïche [10]. Note that if ord ι (a ( f )) = k + 1then f is necessarily p-old unless k = 0. It p p p is worthwhile to note that the p-adic L-functions of Pollack–Stevens and Bellaïche are not characterized in terms of their interpolation property, but rather via the properties of the f -isotypic Hecke eigensubspace of the space of modular symbols. The work of Pollack– k+1 Stevens assumes in addition that f is not in the image of the p-adic θ-operator θ := 123 Interpolation of Beilinson–Kato elements and p-adic L-functions 233 k+1 (q(d/dq)) on the space of overconvergent modular forms of weight −k (i.e., f is not θ-critical); Bellaïche’s work removes this restriction. Both constructions in [10,32] take place in Betti cohomology. Our objective in this series of two articles, of which the present article is the first, is to recover these results in the context of p-adic (étale) cohomology. More precisely, we shall recast the results of Bellaïche and Pollack–Stevens in terms of the Beilinson–Kato elements and the triangulation over the Coleman–Mazur–Buzzard eigencurve. Along the way, we interpolate the Beilinson–Kato elements over a neighborhood on the eigencurve (including the neighborhoods of θ-critical points). 1.1 Set up We put = ( N) ∩ ( p) and let f ∈ S ( ) be a p-stabilized cuspidal eigenform, p 1 0 k +2 p 0 0 α α α 0 0 0 where U f = α f and N is coprime to p.Welet f be the newform associated to f p 0 0 0 0 0 α α 0 0 (note that it may happen that f = f , in which case f is not of critical slope). We fix 0 0 a real number ν ≥ v (α ),where v (·) is the p-adic valuation on Q normalized so that p 0 p v ( p) = 1. We shall call Hom (Z ,G ) the weight space, which we think of as a rigid analytic cts m space over Q .Let W be a nice affinoid neighborhood (in the sense of [10], Definition 3.5) about k of the weight space, which is adapted to slope ν (in the sense of [10], §3.2.4). We will adjust our choice of W on shrinking it as necessary for our arguments. Let C be the Coleman–Mazur–Buzzard eigencurve and let x ∈ C be the point that cor- responds to f .Welet C ⊂ C denote an open affinoid subspace of the eigencurve that W,ν lies over W and U acts by slope at most ν. By shrinking W as necessary, there is a unique connected component X ⊂ C that contains x , which is an affinoid neighborhood of x . W,ν 0 0 For any E-valued point x ∈ X ( E) (where E is a sufficiently large extension ofQ ,which contains the image of the Hecke field of f under the fixed isomorphism ι)ofclassical weight w(x) ∈ Z in the irreducible component X ⊂ C,welet f ∈ S () denote the ≥0 x w(x)+2 corresponding p-stabilized eigenform. We let V denote Deligne’s representation attached to f ; see §6.4.1 for its precise description. There is a natural free O -module V of rank x X 2, which is equipped with an O -linear continuous G -action such that V ⊗ E − → V X Q x X f (c.f. (51)and (55)below). As in [22, §5], let ξ denote either the symbol a( B) with a, B ∈ Z and B ≥ 1 or an element of SL (Z). For each positive integer m coprime to p,weset S := primes(mBp), if ξ = a( B) , where primes( M) stands for the set of prime divisors of primes(mN p), if ξ ∈ SL (Z) M.Let (c, d) be a pair of positive integers satisfying the following conditions: (cd, 6) = 1 = (d, N) and prime(cd) ∩ S =∅. For each integer r and natural number n,welet n n BK ( f , j, r,ξ) ∈ H (Q(ζ ), V (2 − r)) c,d N,mp x mp denote the Beilinson–Kato element associated to the eigenform f , given as in Theo- rem 6.8(iv) (see also Sect. 6.2 for details). For any abelian group G, let us denote by X(G) its character group. We also put (G) := Z [[G]] for its completed group ring. We shall denote by (G) for the free (G)-module −1 × of rank one on which G acts via the character g → g ∈ (G) . For each positive integer m, let us put := Gal(Q(ζ ∞)/Q(ζ )) and set := . Q(ζ ) mp m Q We denote by χ the p-adic cyclotomic character. We put H () forthe imageoftempered 123 234 D. Benois, K. Büyükboduk distributions of order ν under the Amice transform and define H () := lim H ().Wealso − → set H () := H () ⊗ (?),where (?) = E, O , O . ? W X Fix a generator ε of Z (1). 1.2 Main results We will briefly overview of the results in this article. In a nutshell, our work has two threads: The first concerns the interpolation of Beilinson–Kato elements along the eigencurve C,the second concerns p-local aspects, such as the (properties of the) triangulation over C and the formalism of Perrin-Riou exponential maps. The first part of Theorem A below belongs to the first thread and corresponds to Theorem 6.8 below. The second part corresponds to Theorem 7.3 in the main body of our article and dwells on the second thread, granted the first. Theorem A (i) For each m ≥ 1 and coprime to p, there exists a cohomology class [X ] 1 ι BK ( j,ξ) ∈ H (Q(ζ ), V ⊗ ( ) (1)) c,d m Q(ζ ) N,m X m cl which interpolates the Beilinson–Kato classes BK ( f , j, r,ξ) as x ∈ X ( E) c,d N,mp x and integers r, nvary. [X ] 1 ι ii) Suppose that X is étale over W.Welet BK ( j,ξ) ∈ H Z[1/S], V ⊗ () (1) N X denote the partially normalized Beilinson–Kato element, given as in Definition 6.14 and Proposition 6.15 below. Let L (X ; j,ξ) ∈ H () denote the images of the ±-parts of p X [X ] the class BK ( j,ξ) under the Perrin-Riou dual exponential map (see Definition 7.1). On shrinking the neighborhood X of x as neccesary, the following hold true. + − (a) There exist ( j ,ξ ) and ( j ,ξ ) such that L (X ; j ,ξ , x ) and L (X ; j ,ξ , x ) + + − − + + 0 − − 0 p p are nonzero elements of H (). cl (b) Assume that ( j ,ξ ) satisfy the conditions in (a). Then for each x ∈ X ( E) such ± ± that v (α(x)) < w(x) + 1, the p-adic L -functions L (X ; j ,ξ , x) agree with the p ± ± Manin–Višik p-adic L -functions attached to f , up to multiplication by D E (x) x N ± × where D ∈ E and E (x) is the product of bad Euler factors, given as in (64). (c) Assume that v (α ) = k + 1, but f is not θ -critical. Then L (X ; j ,ξ , x ) agree p 0 0 ± ± 0 with the one-variable p-adic L -functions of Pollack–Stevens [32] up to multiplication ± ± × by D E (x),where D ∈ E . (d) Let L (X, ) denote the two-variable p-adic L -functions of Bellaïche and Stevens associated to modular symbols ∈ Symb (X)(c.f. [10], Theorem 3). Then there ± × exist functions u (x) ∈ O such that ± ± ± L (X ; j ,ξ ) = u (x)E (x)L (X, ). ± ± N p [X ] See Definition 6.7(iii) where the class BK ( j,ξ) is introduced and see Definition 6.14 c,d N,m where we introduce its partial normalization (as well as Appendix A where we establish the regularity properties of this normalization). We call the p-adic L-function L (X ; j,ξ) ∈ H () given as in Definition 7.1(i) (which is denoted by L (f ; j,ξ) in the main body X p,η of our text) the arithmetic p-adic L-function. Remark 1.1 Results similar to Theorem A are proved in the recent paper of Wang [35]via different methods. Some parts of this result has been also announced in the independent 123 Interpolation of Beilinson–Kato elements and p-adic L-functions 235 preprints of Hansen [17] and Ochiai [29]. Our approach to establish Theorem A(i) (which applies even when X is not étale over W; this is crucial for our results in the θ-critical case) is a synthesis of the techniques of [17,26], relying on the overconvergent étale cohomology of Andreatta–Iovita–Stevens [3] and Kings’ theory of -adic sheaves developed in [23]. Along the way, we verify (relying on the results of Ash–Stevens and Pollack–Stevens) that the construction of the local pieces (including neighborhoods of θ-critical points, where X is no longer étale over W) of the cuspidal eigencurve using different types of distribution spaces over the weight space, or compactly vs non-compactly supported cohomology produce the same end result. See Sect. 5.3, §5.1.5 and Sect. 6.3 for further details (most particularly, Lemma 5.2, Proposition 5.8(ii) and Proposition 6.5) concerning this technical point, which we believe is of independent interest. Remark 1.2 We note that in the particular case when f = f is a newform of level (Np) 0 0 k /2 and weight k + 2 with α = a ( f ) = p , the conclusions of Theorem 7.3 play a crucial 0 0 p 0 role in [6]. 1.2.1 -critical case We conclude Sect. 1.2 with a brief summary of our results in our companion article [5], where we focus on the θ-critical scenario (i.e. in the situation when X is not étale over W) and give an étale construction of Bellaïche’s p-adic L-function. The first key ingredient in [5] is Theorem A(i), namely the construction of a big Beilinson– Kato class about a θ-critical point on the eigencurve. The local aspects turn out to be significantly more challenging when X fails to be étale over W. To prove that the Perrin- Riou style p-adic L-functions L (X ; j,ξ), defined in an analogous way, has the required properties, we introduce in op. cit. a new local argument (called the “eigenspace transition via differentiation”) and prove the following results (which we state in vague form to avoid digression and refer readers to [5] for details): Theorem B Suppose that the ramification index of X over W at x equals to 2.Asbefore, [X ] we let L (X ; j,ξ) ∈ H () denote the images of the ±-parts of the class BK ( j,ξ) p X under the Perrin-Riou dual exponential map. There exists two pairs ( j ,ξ ) and ( j ,ξ ) + + − − with the following properties: ± r (i) We have L (x ; j ,ξ ,ρχ ) = 0 for all integers 1 ≤ r ≤ k + 1 and characters 0 ± ± 0 ρ ∈ X() of finite order. (ii) We define the improved arithmetic p-adic L -functions at the critical point x on setting [1],± ± L (x ; j ,ξ ) := L ( X ; j ,ξ ) ∈ H () 0 ± ± ± ± E p p ∂ X X =0 Here, as in [10, §4.4], we denote by X a fixed choice of a uniformizer of X about x and consider the p-adic L -functions L (X ; j,ξ) in the neighborhood X of x as the functions L ( X ; j,ξ) with X in a neighborhood of 0. Then the improved arithmetic p- adic L -functions verify the same interpolation property that Bellaïche’s improved p-adic L -functions do, up to the bad Euler factors E (x ) and constants that depend only on N 0 the choices of Shimura periods. In an unpublished note (see [9] Proposition 1), Bellaïche explains that a conjecture of Jannsen combined with Greenberg’s conjecture (that “locally split implies CM”) and the important of result of Breuil-Emerton (“θ-critical implies locally split”) would yield e = 2. We are grateful to R. Pollack for bringing Bellaïche’s note to our attention. 123 236 D. Benois, K. Büyükboduk This theorem supplies us with a new construction of Bellaïche’s p-adic L-functions (with Euler factors at primes dividing the tame conductor removed). One of the consequences of the étale construction of the p-adic L-functions is the leading term formulae for these p-adic L-functions. These will be explored in the sequels to the present article. 1.2.2 Layout We close our introduction reviewing the layout of our article. After a very general preparation in Sect. 2 (where we axiomatise various constructions in [10], §4.3), we give a general overview of triangulations in Sect. 3. In Sect. 3.2,wealsodefine the Perrin-Riou exponential map, which is one of the crucial inputs defining the “arithmetic” p-adic L-functions. We then introduce Perrin-Riou-style (abstract) two-variable p-adic L-functions in Sect. 4 and study their interpolative properties. These results are later applied in Sect. 7 in the context of the Coleman–Mazur–Buzzard eigencurve and with the Beilinson–Kato element [X ] BK ( j,ξ) of Theorem A. c,d N,m In Sect. 5, we review Bellaïche’s results in [10] on the local description of the eigencurve and prove variants (in Sect. 5.3) of these results involving slightly different local systems as coefficients and non-compactly supported cohomology (at a level of generality that cov- ers also the neighborhoods of θ-critical point). We utilize these in Sect. 6 (together with the work of Andreatta–Iovita–Stevens [3]) to deduce the required properties for the Galois representation V , where the interpolated Beilinson–Kato elements take coefficients in. The variants of Bellaïche’s construction that we discuss in Sect. 5.3 allow us (through Proposi- tion 6.5) to establish the properties of V as an O -module, where the images of Perrin-Riou X X exponential maps take coefficients in. In Sect. 6.5, we introduce the interpolated Beilinson–Kato elements (which are denoted [X ] by BK ( j,ξ) in Theorem A(i)) as part of Definition 6.7(iii) (see also Sect. 6.6 where c,d N,m we introduce their normalized versions). Our construction builds primarily on the ideas in [23,24,26]. As we have noted in Remark 1.1, our approach in this portions is, in some sense, a synthesis of the techniques of [26]and [17] (which we crucially enhance to apply also about θ-critical points). In Sect. 7, we apply the general results in Sect. 4 to define the “arithmetic” p-adic L-functions and study their interpolation properties, proving our Theorem A(ii). 2 Linear algebra In Sect. 2, we fix some notation and conventions from linear algebra, which will be used in the remainder of the paper (as well as in the companion paper [5]). We also axiomatize various constructions in [10, §4.3]. 2.1 Tate algebras Let E be a finite extension of Q . Fix an integer e ≥ 1 and denote by R the Tate algebra re e R = E Y / p , where r ≥ 0 is some fixed integer. Let A = R[ X ]/( X − Y ). Then A = E X/ p Set W = Spm( R) and X = Spm( A). We will consider W as a weight space in the re−1 re−1 following sense. Fix an integer k ≥ 2 and denote by D(k , p ) = k + p Z the 0 0 0 p re−1 re−1 closed disk with center k and radius 1/ p . We identify each y ∈ D(k , p ) with the 0 0 123 Interpolation of Beilinson–Kato elements and p-adic L-functions 237 point of W that corresponds to the maximal ideal y−k m = (1 + Y ) − (1 + p) . We have a canonical morphism w : X → W, (1) which we will call the weight map. If x ∈ X , we say that y = w(x) is the weight of x. Let x ∈ X denote the unique point such that w(x ) = k . Set 0 0 0 cl X ={x ∈ X | w(x) ∈ Z,w(x) ≥ 2}. 2.2 Generalized eigenspaces 2.2.1. Let M be an A-module. For any x ∈ X ( E) and y ∈ W( E) define M = M ⊗ A/m , x A x M = M ⊗ R/m . y R y We denote by π : M −→ M x w(x) x the canonical projection. Consider X as a function on X and denote by X(x) the value of X at x ∈ X ( E). For any endomorphism f of M, set M [ f ]= ker( f ). Definition 2.1 We denote by M [x]= M [ X − X(x)], the submodule of M annihilated w(x) w(x) by X − X(x) ∈ A. We also put M [[x ]] := ∪ M [( X − X(x)) ] and call it the generalized w(x) n≥1 eigenspace associated to x. ∼ ∼ 2.2.2. Suppose that M A is a free A-module of rank d,sothatwealsohave M = = e e X − X(x) e d ( R[ X ]/( X − Y )) . Let us put P ( X) := ∈ E [ X ]. Then, X − X(x) e e M = E [ X ]/( X − X(x) ) E [ X ] , w(x) e e M [x]= P ( X) E [ X ]/( X − X(x) ) E [ X ] , M = ( E [ X ]/( X − X(x))) , and the multiplication by P ( X) gives an isomorphism M − −−−→ M [x ]. × P ( X) We consider separately the following cases: e e (a) When x = x (so w(x) = k ), then the polynomial X − X(x) is separable. In this 0 0 scenario, the A-module M is semi-simple and M [x]= P ( X) M ⊂ M is an w(x) x w(x) w(x) A-direct summand. The restriction of the natural surjection π : M −→ M to M [x ] x w(x) x is an isomorphism, which we shall denote with the same symbol unless there is a chance of confusion. Also, M [[x ]] = M [x ]. 123 238 D. Benois, K. Büyükboduk e−1 (b) When x = x ,wehave X(x ) = 0and P ( X) = X . In this case, M = 0 0 x k 0 0 e d ( E [ X ]/ X E [ X ]) as an A-module and e d M = M [[x ]] −→ ( E [ X ]/ X E [ X ]) , k 0 e−1 M [x ]= M [ X]= X M , 0 k k 0 0 M −→ E . If e ≥ 2, the restriction π | : M [x ]→ M of the surjection π is evidently the x 0 x x 0 M [x ] 0 0 zero map. Observe also that in either of the cases (a) or (b) above, M [x ] can be identified with an A-equivariant image of M under the multiplication-by- P ( X) map. w(x) x 2.3 Specializations Let M be an A-module, and let x ∈ X ( E). For any m ∈ M, we denote by m ∈ M the x x image of m under the specialization map M → M . On the other hand, M = M ⊗ A x A R has the A-module structure via the A-action on the second factor. For any x ∈ X ( E),the specialization of M at x is ( M ) := ( M ⊗ A) ⊗ E = M ⊗ E = M . A R A,x R,w(x) w(x) Definition 2.2 For an A-module M and x ∈ X ( E),welet sp denote the specialization map M → ( M ) . A A x We need the following lemma. Lemma 2.3 In the notation of Definition 2.2, suppose that M is a free A-module of rank one. e−1 i e−1−i Let m denote a generator of M and put := X m ⊗ X ∈ M ⊗ A. Then i =0 (i) We have ( X ⊗ 1) = (1 ⊗ X). (ii) The element sp () ∈ M generates the E -vector space M [x ]. w(x) e−1 (iii) We have π ◦ sp () = X(x) m . x x Proof The first part is the abstract version of [10, Lemma 4.13] and the second part is that of [10, Proposition 4.14]. Final assertion follows from a direct calculation. Remark 2.4 Suppose in this remark that e = 1, so that A = R. In this scenario, we have M = M and M − → M . Moreover, the specialization map sp is simply the canonical A w(x) x projection M → M . 2.4 Duality Let M and M be two free A-modules of finite rank equipped with an R-linear pairing (, ) : M ⊗ M → R.

Let us fix topological generators n ∞ n n n p p p−1 γ ∈ such that γ = γ for all n ≥ 1and γ = γ . For any group G and left n n n+1 1 G-module M we denote by M the right G-module whose underlying group is M and on −1 which G acts by m · g = g m. If G is a finite abelian group, we denote by X(G) its group of characters. If E is a fixed field such that ρ ∈ X( E) takes values in E, we denote by −1 e = ρ (g)g |G| g∈G (ρ) the corresponding indempotent of E [G]. For any E [G]-module M we denote by M = e M (ρ) its ρ-isotypic component. For any map f : N → M we denote by f the compositum [e ] f ρ (ρ) (ρ) f : N − → M − − → M . 3.1.2. In this section, we review the construction of the Bloch–Kato exponential map for crystalline (ϕ, )-modules. Let E be a finite extension ofQ . For each n ≥ 0, we denote by R the Robba ring of formal power series f (π) = a π coverging on some annulus E m m∈Z of the form r( f ) ≤|π | < 1. Recall that R := R ∩ E [[π ]] is the ring of formal power p E 123 240 D. Benois, K. Büyükboduk series converging on the open unit disk. We equip R with the usual E-linear actions of the Frobenius operator ϕ and the cyclotomic Galois group given by ϕ(π) = (1 + π) − 1, χ(γ ) γ(π) = (1 + π) − 1,γ ∈ . Let ψ denote the left inverse of ϕ defined by ⎛ ⎞ −1 ⎝ ⎠ ψ( f (π)) = ϕ f (ζ(1 + π) − 1) . ζ =1 ψ =0 Then R is a H ()-module of rank one, generated by 1 +π. The differential operator ψ =0 ∂ = (1 + π) is a bijection from R to itself. Furthermore, we have dπ ∂ ◦ γ = χ(γ )γ ◦ ∂. Let t = log(1 + π) denote the “additive generator of Z (1)”.

The action of , ϕ, ψ and ∂ can be extended to R by linearity. 3.1.3. Recall that a (ϕ, )-module over R is a finitely generated projective module over R equipped with commuting semilinear actions of ϕ and and satisfying some additional technical properties which we shall not record here (see [12,25] for details). The cohomology H (K , D) of D over K is defined as the cohomology of the Fontaine–Herr complex n n d d 0 1 C (D) : 0 −→ D − → D ⊕ D − → D −→ 0, ϕ,γ where d (x) := ((ϕ − 1)x,(γ − 1)x) and d ( y, z) := (γ − 1) y − (ϕ − 1)z. 0 n 1 n 3.1.4.

We refer the reader to [25, Section 4.4] and [30] for the proofs of the results reviewed in this subsection and for further details. Let H denote the algebra of formal power series f (z) = a z with coefficients in E that converges on the open unit disk.

In the remainder of Sect. 3.2, we shall review the construction of the Perrin-Riou exponential maps for families of (ϕ, )-modules of rank one. × × For any continuous character δ : Q → A we denote by D = R e the (ϕ, )-module δ A δ of rank one over the relative Robba ring R , generated by e and such that A δ ϕ(e ) = δ( p)e ,γ(e ) = δ(χ(γ ))e γ ∈ . δ δ δ δ + + Set D := R e .

The direct analogue of the condition LE) for families of (ϕ, )-modules is the following condition: LE*) For any i ∈ Z,1 − p δ( p) ∈ A does not vanish on X = Spm( A). For any point x ∈ Spm( A), let D denote the specialization of D at x.

If U is an open wide disk, ourD(U) andD (U) correspond to D (T ) and D (T ) U,0 0 U,0 of [26]. If U reduces to one point y ∈ WS( E), we write D ( E) (resp., D ( E)) instead of D(U) (resp., D (U))and A ( E) (resp., A ( E)) instead of A(U). 5.1.3. If W ⊂ WS is an affinoid disk we will also work with the space of overconvergent modular symbols D (W) which corresponds to the space D [0]( R) in [10]. To be more precise, we let A[r ](W) denote the space of functions f : Z → O that are analytic on p W the closed disk of radius r and let D[r ](W) = Hom (A[r ](W), O ) denote the space O ,cpt W of compact continuous linear maps A[r ](W) → O . In particular, A[1](W) = A(W) and D[1](W) = D(W). For any r > r the natural map A[r ](W) → A[r ](W) induces a map D[r ](W) → D[r ](W), and one defines D (W) = limD[r ](W). ← − r>0 If W ⊂ U, where U is a wide open, then we have the restriction map A → A(W), which induces an isomorphism of O -modules D(W) D(U) , D(U) := D(U)⊗ O W W O W (c.f. [3], Lemma 3.8). In particular, we have an injection D (W) −→ D(U) . (13) For any y ∈ W( E), the natural map † † D (W) ⊗ E −→ D ( E) (14) O , y W y is a ( p)-equivariant isomorphism of E-Banach spaces (c.f. [10], Lemma 3.6). We refer the reader to [3,10]and [26, Section 4] for further details pertaining to these objects. 5.1.4. Put = ( N) ∩ ( p) ⊂ SL (Z); note that this congruence subgroup is denoted p 1 0 2 ∗ ∗ by in [10].

Note that H ( , −) and H ( , −) vanish since p p p is the fundamental group of an open curve. Lemma 5.1 Let W ⊂ W be an affinoid disk.

If y = 0, then coker(17) is isomorphic to E. † ∗ (v) The statements i-iv) remain true ifD (W) is replaced byD(U), where U ⊂ W is a wide open. Proof The part (i) is proved in [10, Lemma 3.9] and the same arguments compute H with coefficients in D(U). The exactness of (15) in part (ii) is proved in [10, Lemma 3.6], whereas its analogue for D(U) in [3, Proposition 3.11]. The isomorphism (16) in part (iii) follows from the long exact sequence associated to the 2 † specialization exact sequence and the vanishing of H ( ,D (W)). The inclusion (17)for the cohomology with compact support and the point (iv) follow formally from (i) (c.f. [10], Theorem 3.10), and the proofs of these statements for cohomology with coefficients inD(U) are the same. 5.1.5. Consider the spaces of modular symbols 0 1 † † Symb (D) := Hom (Div (P (Q)),D), D = D(U),D ,D (W), p y 0 1 1 where Div (P (Q)) is the group of divisors of degree 0 onP (Q).

We now briefly recall the Coleman–Mazur–Buzzard construction of the eigencurve. We retain the notation from Sect. 5.1 and continue following the exposition in [10, §2.1]. Let H denotes the Hecke algebra generated over Z by the Hecke operators {T } ,the Np Atkin–Lehner operator U and diamond operators { d } ×. For any affinoid W we d∈(Z/ NZ) set H = H ⊗ O . W Z W We fix a nice affinoid disk W = Spm(O ) (in the sense of [10], Definition 3.5) of the weight space WS adapted to slope ν in the sense of [10], §3.2.4. Let us denote by M ( , W) Coleman’s space of overconvergent modular forms of level and weight in p p † ≤ν W;and let M ( , W) denote its O -submodule on which U acts with slope at most p W p ν. We similarly let S ( , W) denote the space of cuspidal overconvergent modular forms † ≤ν † of level and weight in the affinoid disk W;and S ( , W) ⊂ S ( , W). p p p cusp Let T (resp., T ) denote the image of H in End M ( , W) (resp., W,ν W O p W,ν W cusp cusp End S ( , W) ).

In the remainder of this subsection, we fix a p-stabilization of a newform f and denote by x the corresponding point of C. The following proposition will allow us to apply the formalism of Sects. 3–4 in the context of eigencurves. We denote by W an affinoid neighborhood of k = w(x ) in the weight space, where O is of the form O = E Y / p 0 0 W W Proposition 5.3 (Bellaïche) Up to shrinking W and enlarging E , there exists an affinoid cusp neighborhood X of x ∈ C such that W,ν (a) X is a connected component of C ; W,ν re (b) There exist integers r, e ≥ 1 and an element a ∈ O such that O = E Y / p and X W the map X → a induces an isomorphism of R-algebras O [ X ]/( X − Y ) O . W X Proof By [10, Proposition 4.11], there exists an affinoid neighborhood X of C which W,ν cusp satisfies the condition (b). By [10, Corollary 2.17], the eigencurves C and C are locally isomorphic at x . Together with (22), this concludes the proof of (a). 5.2.3.

Fixanaffinoiddisk W and a wide open affinoid U such that W ⊂ U ⊂ W where W is given as in §5.1.1. See [3] as well as §5.1.1 for an explanation of this assumption. Note that this condition translates to the requirement that U is 0-accessible in the sense of [26, Definition 4.1.1]. We then have a natural (restriction) map O → R. Recall that 123 254 D. Benois, K. Büyükboduk ◦,× κ : Z → O denotes the restriction of the universal weight character to U.Inwhat follows, we will allow ourselves to shrink both U and W as necessary. 5.3.2. Recall that H denotes the Hecke algebra over O . In this subsection, we work with W W the spaces D(U) and A (U). Set ±,≤ν 1 1 ±,≤ν H ( ,D(U)) := H ( ,D(U)) ⊗ O , p p O W c c U ±,≤ν 1 1 ±,≤ν H ( ,A (U)) := H ( ,A (U)) ⊗ O p p O W c W c U and let ± 1 ±,≤ν ± 1 ±,≤ν r : H → End ( H ( ,D(U)) ), r : H → End ( H ( ,A (U)) ) W O p W O p 1 W c W 2 W c W ± ± ± denote the canonical representations of H . We define the ideals I = ker(r ) and I = 1 1 2 ker(r ). Lemma 5.5 Let k ≥ 0 be an integer such that k ∈ W ⊂ U . For sufficiently small W and 0 0 Uthe map (13) together with Lemma 5.2 induce natural Hecke equivariant isomorphisms 1 † ±,≤ν 1 ±,≤ν H ( ,D (W)) H ( ,D(U)) , p p c c W (23) 1 † ±,≤ν 1 ±,≤ν H ( ,D (W)) H ( ,D(U)) . p p In particular, the morphism ± ± T −→ im(r ) W,ν 1 induced from (23) is an isomorphism as well. ±,≤ν 1 † ±,≤ν 1 Proof Let us put M := H ( ,D (W)) and M := H ( ,D(U)) and denote 1 p 2 p c c W by g : M → M the map induced from (13) together with Lemma 5.2. It follows from (18) 1 2 and general results about the slope decomposition that M and M are finitely generated free 1 2 O -modules. By Lemma 5.1, we have a commutative diagram 1 ±,≤ν 2 † ±,≤ν 0 M /m M H ( ,D ( E)) H ( ,D (W)) [k ] 0 1 k 1 p p 0 0 c k c ±,≤ν 1 ±,≤ν 2 0 M /m M H ( ,D ( E)) H ( ,,D(U)) [k ] 0 2 k 2 p k p 0 0 c 0 c where m ⊂ O is the maximal ideal determined by the weight k .By[32, Lemma 5.3], k W 0 the middle vertical map of the diagram is an isomorphism.

Moreover, since the middle vertical arrow is an isomorphism, the right vertical arrow is surjective and therefore an isomorphism as well. We conclude that the left vertical map induced from the vertical isomorphism in the middle is an isomorphism: M /m M −→ M /m M . (24) 1 k 1 2 k 2 0 0 In particular, M and M are free O -modules with the same rank. Let G ∈ O denote the 1 2 W W determinant of g in some bases of M and M . The isomorphism (24) shows that G(k ) = 0 1 2 0 and hence, on shrinking the neighborhood W as necessary, G is non-vanishing on W.This concludes the proof that g is an isomorphism for sufficiently small W and U,aswehave asserted in the statement of our lemma. The second isomorphism in (23) can be established by the same argument, using the fact 1 ≤ν 1 ≤ν that the map H ( ,D ( E)) = H ( ,D ( E)) by [1, Theorem 5.5.3]. p p k 123 Interpolation of Beilinson–Kato elements and p-adic L-functions 255 5.3.3.

We are therefore reduced to proving that we have an Hecke equivariant isomorphism 1 1 H ( , V ( E)) −→ H ( , P ( E)). p k p k c c This follows from the isomorphism V ( E) ⊗ det −− − − → Hom(V ( E), E) =: P ( E) k k k ∗ −1 (det ) of GL (Z )-modules (where det stands for the determinant character of GL (Z )), 2 p 2 p together with the fact that det = 1.

Benois, K. Büyükboduk see the paragraph following [14, Proposition 3.2] as well as Remark 3.3.2 in op. cit. This proves (25). In view of [14], Proposition 4.2.1, it follows from the isomorphisms (25) that the rep- resentations r and r verify the conditions of [15, Proposition 3.7]. This implies that 1 2 ± ± I = I and the remaining assertions are immediate from this fact and Lemma 5.5. 1 2 (ii) We will only prove the assertion when the coefficients are A (U), since the proof in the case of D(U) is similar. We remark that one may alternatively deduce our claim 1 ±,≤ν that the O ±-module H ( ,D(U)) ⊗ O ± is free of rank one from [10, p H X c X Proposition 4.5], using the isomorphism (18) of Ash–Stevens and Proposition 5.5. 1 ±,≤ν We will prove that for U sufficiently small the O ±-module H ( ,A (U)) ⊗ p H X c O ± is free of rank one. It is clear that one may choose U so as to ensure that the ,± condition a) holds. Let us fix such U.Accordingto[14, Proposition 4.2.1], the T - U,ν ±,≤ν module H ( ,A (U)) is of finite rank as an O -module (therefore also as a p W ,± T -module). For any y ∈ U, the long exact sequence -cohomology induced from O ,ν the short exact sequence of specialization at y 0 −→ A (U)−→A (U) − → A ( E) −→ 0 shows that 1 0 1 H ( ,A (U))[m ]= im( H ( ,A ( E)) −→ H ( ,A (U))). p y p p c c y c 0 1 Since H ( ,A ( E)) = 0, this proves that H ( ,A (U)) is torsion-free over O and p p U c y c therefore, the O -module H ( ,A (U)) ⊗ O is torsion-free as well. We have W p O W ±,≤ν proved that the O -modules H ( ,A (U)) are finitely generated and torsion-free W p (therefore free, since O is a PID). ± 1 ±,≤ν Set N = H ( ,A (U)) ⊗ O ±. Now the arguments of Bellaïche apply p H X c W verbatim. More precisely, since O ± are PIDs, [10, Lemma 4.1] tells us that for any x ∈ X , the localization N is a free O ± -module of finite rank. Moreover, for X ,x (x) any classical point x = x of weight k ≥ ν, the isomorphism (25) together with [10, Lemma 2.8] show that N is of rank one over O ± . By the local constancy of the X ,x (x) rank, the same also holds true for N . We conclude that N is a free O ±-module of (x ) of rank one, when U and W sufficiently small. (iii) This portion follows directly from [10, Theorem 3.30]. Corollary 5.7 Let us fix W that ensures the validity of the conclusions of Theorem 5.6(ii) and + − ± suppose x is cuspidal, so that X = X according to Theorem 5.6(iii).

We record the following proposition which will shall use in the proof of Proposition 6.5. It is well known to experts, but we prove it for reader’s convenience. Proposition 5.8 Let x be a classical cuspidal point on the eigencurve C and k = w(x ). 0 0 0 Then the following hold true. 123 Interpolation of Beilinson–Kato elements and p-adic L-functions 257 (i) The natural map 1 1 H ( , V ( E)) ⊗ E −→ H ( , V ( E)) ⊗ E (26) p k H,x p k H,x c 0 0 0 0 is an isomorphism of E -vector spaces of dimension 2. (ii) There exists an affine neighborhood W of k and ν> 0 such that for the connected component X ⊂ C of x ∈ C the map W,ν 0 W,ν j⊗id 1 † ≤ν 1 † ≤ν H ( ,D (W)) ⊗ O −−→ H ( ,D (W)) ⊗ O (27) p H X p H X c W W 1 † ≤ν 1 † ≤ν induced from the natural H -equivariant map H ( ,D (W)) − → H ( ,D (W)) , W p p is an isomorphism. Proof (i) Let us denote by Y the Borel–Serre compactification of the modular curve Y = \ H (and ∂ Y its boundary). The sheaf V on Y extends to a sheaf on Y . It follows from [4, Proposition 4.2] that 1 1 coker(26)→ im H (Y , V ) −→ H (∂ Y , V ) [m ] k k x 0 0 0 and the surjectivity of (26) follows once we verify that 1 1 im H (Y , V ) − → H (∂ Y , V ) [m ]= 0. k k x 0 0 0 This follows from the properties of the Eisenstein cohomology, since x is cuspidal. The proof that the map (26) is injective is similar, where one instead relies on the vanishing 0 1 of the x -isotypic subspace of im( H (∂ Y , V ) → H (Y , V )). 0 k k 0 c 0 Our assertion on the dimension of these vector spaces is standard, c.f. [10, Proposition 3.18]. (ii) Fix ν ≥ k + 1. Let W be an affinoid neighborhood of k such that the conclusion of 0 0 1 † ≤ν Theorem 5.4 hold for W. To simplify notation, set M = H ( ,D (W)) ⊗ O c p H X c W 1 † ≤ν and M = H ( ,D (W)) ⊗ O . Then the O -module M is free of rank 2. The p H X X c same argument (that Bellaïche utilizes to prove M is free of rank 2) shows that M is also free of rank 2 over O . Namely, on shrinking W if necessarly, we can assume that M is a finitely generated free O -module. For any point x of weight w(x) we have 1 † ≤ν M/m M H ( ,D (W)) ⊗ E ⊗ E, (28) x p O ,w(x) H,x Together with Lemma 5.1 this gives 1 † ≤ν M/m M H ( ,D ( E)) ⊗ E. (29) x p H,x w(x) The control theorem of Ash–Stevens (21) reads 1 ≤ν 1 ≤ν H ( ,D ( E)) − − → H ( , V ( E)) p p k The required vanishing statement follows from [18, Corollary 4.7] (see also [19], Theorem 1) combined with the strong multiplicity one for GL2, which follows as a consequence of the classification result due to Jacquet–Shalika [20,21] (c.f. the proof of [16], Proposition 4.1). In brief terms, Corollary 4.7 of [18] tells us that the systems of Hecke eigenvalues occurring in the image of the map ∂ are those of Eisenstein series. By the classification result of Jacquet–Shalika, the set of systems of Hecke eigenvalues of Eisenstein series is disjoint from those of cusp forms. (We are grateful to Fabian Januszewski for indicating these references.) 123 258 D. Benois, K. Büyükboduk for each positive integer k >ν − 1. Choosing x ∈ X such that w(x)>ν − 1, we deduce that 1 ≤ν M/m M H ( , V ( E)) ⊗ E. x p k H,x Now it follows from the classical Eichler–Shimura isomorphism and multiplicity-one that M/m M has dimension 2 over E,and the O -module M is free of rank 2 as well. x X Let det ∈ O denote the determinant of j ⊗ id : M → M with respect to fixed bases of j X c M and M. If we knew that det (x ) = 0, we could shrink W and the neighborhood X of x ) c j 0 0 to ensure that det is non-vanishing on X and thereby conclude that j ⊗ id is an isomorphism, as required. We have therefore reduced to proving that det (x ) = 0. j 0 Recall the isomorphism (29)for x = x : 1 ≤ν M/m M H ( ,D ( E)) ⊗ E. (30) x p H,x 0 0 The analogous isomorphism (28)for M together with Lemma 5.1 shows that we have an injection 1 † ≤ν M /m M → H ( ,D ( E)) ⊗ E, c x c p H,x 0 c k 0 which is an isomorphism if k = 0. As a matter of fact, it follows from [10, Proposition 3.14] that this map is an isomorphism since x is cuspidal. We therefore have the following com- mutative diagram: 1 ≤ν M /m M H ( ,D ( E)) ⊗ E c x c p H,x 0 c k 0 1 ≤ν M/m M H ( ,D ( E)) ⊗ E. x p H,x 0 0 To conclude with the proof of the asserted isomorphism in our proposition with sufficiently small W and X , it suffices to prove that the right vertical map is an isomorphism. Observe that the following diagram commutes: † † 1 ≤ν 1 ≤ν H ( ,D ( E)) ⊗ E H ( ,D ( E)) ⊗ E p H,x p H,x c k 0 k 0 0 0 ∗ ∗ ρ ρ ∼ ∼ k k (31) 0 0 1 ≤ν 1 ≤ν H ( , V ( E)) ⊗ E H ( , V ( E)) ⊗ E p k H,x p k H,x c 0 0 0 0 (i) All objects of this diagram have dimension 2 over E. The surjectivity of the vertical arrow in (31) on the left follows from [32, Lemma 5.1], and we infer that the vertical arrow on the left is an isomorphism. The bottom map is an isomorphism by part i). This implies that all the maps of the diagram are isomorphisms. The proof of our proposition is now complete. 6 Interpolation of Beilinson–Kato elements 6.1 Modular curves and Iwasawa sheaves 6.1.1. For a pair of positive integers M and M , we recall the modular curves Y ( M , M ) 1 2 1 2 from [22,§2].Wethenhave Y ( N, N) = Y ( N) and Y (1, N) = Y ( N), modular curves of level ( N) and ( N), respectively. Recall from §2.8 of op. cit. also the modular curves denoted 123 Interpolation of Beilinson–Kato elements and p-adic L-functions 259 by Y ( M , M ( B)) and Y ( M ( B), M ),where B is also a positive integer. In Sections 6.3- 1 2 1 2 6.5, we will be working over the modular curve Y (1, N( p)) of ( N) ∩ ( p)-level. We 1 0 note that the modular curve Y (1, N( p)) is denoted by Y ( N, p) in [3]. If Y denotes any one of the modular curves above, we denote by λ : E → Y the universal elliptic curve with the appropriate level structure (which depends on Y , but we suppress this dependence from our notation). We let T := R λ Z (1) denote the pro-system (T ) ∗ p n n≥1 of étale lisse sheaves T := R λ — n on the open modular curves Y [1/ p] given as in [22, n ∗ p §§1–2]. The sheaf T has rank 2 and the Poincaré duality identifies it with the p-adic Tate module T (E ) of E . We write T for the associated sheaf of Q -vector spaces. Q p p p For each non-negative integer k and a locally free sheaf F over Y [1/ p],welet TSym F denote the locally free sheaf on Y of symmetric k-tensors, given as in [24, §2.2]. 6.1.2. Let i : D → E be a subscheme. Assume that D is etale over Y and consider the diagram E [ p ] D D,n [ p ] D E where E [ p ] D is the fiber product of E and D over E . We define the pro-etale sheaf (T D ) = ( (T D )) on setting n≥1 (T D ) = λ p (Z/ p Z). D,∗ D,n,∗ We refer the reader to [23] where Kings develops these notions in a general framework. If D = Y and i = s : Y → E is a section of λ, we will write (T s ) instead (T D ). In particular, we denote by (T ) = (T 0 ) the sheaf associated to the identity section 0. For any section s, the sheaf (T s ) is a sheaf of modules of rank one over the sheaf of Iwasawa algebras (T ) (c.f. [23], §2.4). 6.1.3. In the remainder of §6.1, we recall a number of notation and constructions from [24,26]. Fix a positive integer N. We denote by λ : E → Y ( N) the universal elliptic curve N N 1 and by T the associated etale sheaf. Recall that Y ( N) is the moduli space of pairs ( E,β ), N 1 N where E is an elliptic curve and β : Z/ NZ → E [ N ] is an injection. Then the map ( E,β ) → β (1) defines a section s : Y ( N) → E of λ ,andwedenoteby (T s N N N 1 N N N N the associated sheaf. Let g : Y (Np ) → Y ( N) denote the canonical projection. We define the pro-etale n 1 1 sheaf on Y ( N) on setting N et ´ = , = g (Z/ p Z). n,∗ N N,n N,n n≥1 If p | N, the moduli description of Y (Np ) shows that there exists a canonical isomorphism n n Y (Np ) E [ p ] s , and therefore we have 1 N (T s ) . (32) N N (c.f. the proof of [24], Theorem 4.5.1). In particular, we can apply the formalism developed in [23] with the sheaf . 123 260 D. Benois, K. Büyükboduk 6.1.4. Assume that N is coprime to p and consider the modular curve Y (1, N( p)) equipped with the universal elliptic curve E and the associated sheaf T . Recall that Y (1, N( p)) N( p) N( p) is the moduli space for the triples ( E,β , C), where E is an elliptic curve, β : Z/ NZ → E N N is an injection and C ⊂ E is a (cyclic) subgroup of order Np that contains β (1 + NZ). Denote by C ⊂ E [ p] the canonical subgroup of order p and set D := E [ p]− C and N( p) N( p) D := C −{0}. Note that both D and D are finite étale over Y (1, N( p)), of degrees p − p and p − 1, respectively, and we denote by (T D ) and (T D ) the associated N( p) N( p) sheaves. Since both D and D are contained in E [ p], the “multiplication-by- p” morphism N( p) induces the trace map [ p] ? ? (T D ) − − → (T ), D ∈{ D, D } (33) N( p) N( p) of sheaves on Y (1, N( p)). The rule ( E,β ) → ( E,β ( p), im(β )) defines a morphism pr : Y (1, Np) → Np Np Np Y (1, N( p)), which in turn induces the cartesian square E Y (Np) Np 1 pr E Y (1, N( p)) N( p) For each positive integer r,wehaveanatural morphism [ N ] ◦ pr r r E [ p ] s − −−−− → E [ p ] D . (34) Np Np N( p) where the schemes E [ p ] · are given as in [24, Definition 4.1.4].

Let us fix positive integers M and N such that M + N ≥ 5.

The interpretation of Y (Mp , Np ) as the M, N M, N n 2 n moduli space of pairs ( E,α), where E is an elliptic curve and α : (Z/Np Z) E [Np ] is n n n n an isomorphism, shows that the restriction of E [ p ] T (E )/ p on Y (Mp , Np ) M, N M, N p has a canonical basis {e , e } given by e = α( M, 0) and e = α(0, N).

Let (c, d) be a pair of positive integers satisfying the following conditions: (cd, 6) = 1,(d, N) = 1, prime(cd) ∩ S =∅. 123 Interpolation of Beilinson–Kato elements and p-adic L-functions 263 If ξ = a( B), we choose M and L ≥ 1 such that mB | M, M | L, N | L, prime( M) = S, prime(L) = S ∪ prime( N) and denote by n n Ch : lim K (Y (Mp , Lp )) M,L, j,ξ 2 ← − 1 1 j −→ H Z[1/S], H (Y ( M, L) , TSym (T ) ⊗ (2)) 1 M,L M,L et ´ Q cyc 1 1 j −→ H Z[1/S], H Y ( N) , TSym (T ) ⊗ (2) ⊗Z [Gal(Q(ζ )/Q] 1 N ◦ p m et ´ Q N,μ cyc 1 1 j −→ H Z[1/S,ζ ], H Y ( N) , TSym (T ) ⊗ (2) m 1 N ◦ et ´ Q N,μ 1 1 j ι −→ H Z[1/S,ζ ], H Y ( N) , TSym (T ) ⊗ (2) ⊗ ( ) m 1 N Q(ζ ) N m et ´ Q (40) the composition of the maps (39)and (38).

These normalized elements interpolate Kato’s normalized elements in [22, §13]. 6.6.1. We recall that ( ) := Z [[ ]], where = Gal(Q (ζ )/Q (ζ )) and = 1 p 1 1 p p p p Z []⊗ ( ), where = Gal(Q(ζ )/Q). One then has p Z 1 p = ( )e . 1 η η∈ X() Let us set ( ) = O ⊗ ( ) and put = O ⊗ . X 1 X Z 1 X X Z p p 123 274 D. Benois, K. Büyükboduk We start with the following auxiliary lemma. Lemma 6.11 Let M be a finitely generated ( )-module. Suppose that M := M/XM X 1 x is torsion-free as a ( )[1/ p]-module and that M [ X]= 0. Then there exist an affinoid disk X ⊂ X such that M := M ⊗ O is torsion-free as a ( )-module. O O 1 X X X X Proof Suppose on the contrary that 0 = m ∈ M is a torsion element. For sufficiently tor small X ⊂ X , the affinoid domain O is a PID. Let us choose X with that property and assume until the end of our proof that X = X .Since is a UFD, we may choose m so that m us annihilated by an irreducible element 0 = f ∈ . Note that since M [ X]= 0, the irreducible element f cannot be an associate of X and moreover, we can assume without loss of generality that m ∈ M \ XM. Let us write f = a ( X)(γ − 1) where a ( X) ∈ O .Since M is torsion-free n 1 n X x n=0 0 as a ( )[1/ p]-module, we infer that a (0) = 0. Indeed, since we have f · (m + XM) = 1 0 a (0)(m + XM) ∈ ( M ) ={0} and as m + XM = 0 as an element of the torsion-free 0 x tor module M/XM = M , the required conclusion that a (0) = 0 follows. This in turn shows x 0 that X | f .Since f is irreducible, this in turn implies that f is an associate of X, contrary to the discussion in the previous paragraph. This concludes the proof of our lemma. 6.6.2. Fix a p-stabilized normalized eigenform f ∈ S ( ( N) ∩ ( p)) where ( N, p) = k +2 1 0 1. Let us denote by x the corresponding point of the cuspidal eigencurve and set 1 1 ι H Z[1/S], V (1) := H Z[1/S], V ⊗ (1) , Iw X X p 1 1 ι H Z[1/S], V (1) := H Z[1/S], V ⊗ (1) . Iw f f p Lemma 6.12 There exists a neighborhood X of x such that H Z[1/S], V (1) is torsion- Iw X free as a ( )-module. X 1 Proof We apply Lemma 6.11 to M = H Z[1/S], V (1) . The long exact sequence of Iw X Galois cohomology associated to the short exact sequence ι ι ι 0 → V ⊗ (1) − → V ⊗ (1) → V ⊗ (1) → 0 Z Z Z X p X p f p showsthatwehaveaninjection M/XM → H (Z[1/S], V (1)). Iw f By Kato’s fundamental result (c.f. [22], Theorem 12.4), the [1/ p]-module H (Z[1/S], Iw V (1)) is free of rank one. Therefore M = M/XM is also torsion-free. The same long exact sequence together with the fact that H (Z[1/S], V (1)) = 0gives Iw f 1 0 1 M [ X]= H Z[1/S], V (1) [ X]= im H (Z[1/S], V (1)) −→ H (Z[1/S], V (1)) = 0. Iw X Iw f Iw X Thus the hypotheses of Lemma 6.11 are satisfied and one can shrink X so as to ensure that M is torsion-free. Let Q( ) (resp., Q( )) denote the total quotient field of (resp., of ). It follows X X from Lemma 6.11 that on shrinking X as necessary, one can ensure that the natural 1 1 H (Z[1/S], V (1)) −→ H (Z[1/S], V (1)) ⊗ Q( ) X X is an injection. 123 Interpolation of Beilinson–Kato elements and p-adic L-functions 275 6.6.3.

In particular, we have E (x,χ ) = 0. 2 2 Proof Accordingto[33, Corollary 2] (the Weight-Monodromy Conjecture for modular w(x) w(x)+1 2 2 forms), a ( f ) is an algebraic integer with complex absolute value either or .In w(x) w(x)+1 m −m particular, we have E (x,χ ) = (1 − a ( f ) ) = 0 whenever m ∈{ / , }.

Let us fix integers c ≡ 1 ≡ d mod N 2 2 with (cd, 6 p) = 1and c = 1 = d , and an integer j ∈[0, k ].

The integrality properties of the partial normalizations of the Beilinson–Kato elements are established in Proposition 6.15, whose proof has been relegated to Appendix A.

Since f is new away from p, it follows from [10, Lemma 2.7] that one can shrink X as cl necessary to ensure that f is new away from p and p-old for all x ∈ X ( E) \{x }.There x 0 are two scenarios: (i) f is a newform (so x = x and f = f , owing to our choice of X ). Then f is a x 0 x newform too. (ii) f is the p-stabilization of a newform f =: g of level N coprime to p with respect to the root a ( f ) of the Hecke polynomial of g at p. As we have explained p x c c in Remark 6.10, f is a p-stabilization of the newform g and one naturally c c identifies BK ( f , j,ξ) with BK (g , j,ξ).Inthisscenario,wehave c,d Np,Iw c,d N,Iw c c μ (c, d, j, f ) = μ (c, d, j, g ).

Combining this fact with the preceding remarks, we deduce that [X ] BK ( j,ξ, x) = E (x) z(g , j,ξ). (68) 7 “Étale” construction of p-adic L-functions Our objective in Sect. 7 is to use the O -adic Beilinson–Kato element we have introduced in Definition 6.7(iii) and 6.14 to give an “étale” construction of Stevens’ two-variable p-adic L- function in neighborhoods of non-θ-critical cuspidal points on the eigencurve. In particular, we assume throughout Sect. 7 that X is étale over W (i.e. e = 1); see our companion article [5] for the treatment of the complementary case (which concerns the neighborhoods of θ-critical points on the eigencurve). Recall the representations V and V givenasin(51). We will always assume that X is sufficiently small to satisfy the conditions of Proposition 6.15. For each classical cl x ∈ X ( E),wedenoteby f the corresponding eigenform. The O -adic Beilinson-Kato x X [X ] elements BK ( j,ξ) take coefficients in the cohomology of the universal cyclotomic twist of V . Recall also that these representations are equipped with the O -linear pairing (, ) : V ⊗ V −→ O X X (c.f. (52), bearing in mind that we have assumed e = 1), which satisfies the formalism of Sect. 2. We will use repeatedly the properties of this pairing summarized in Proposition 6.6. Let f = f be a p-stabilized non-θ-critical cuspidal eigenform of weight k +2 ≥ 2and as before, which corresponds to the point x on the cuspidal eigencurve. The eigencurve is étale at x over the weight space (c.f. [10], Lemma 2.8). In other words, e = 1and O = O . 0 X W As we have explained in §3.3.2, the simplification of the local behaviour of the eigencurve in this scenario exhibits itself also in the the p-local study (namely, the properties of the triangulation over the eigencurve). The reader might find it convenient to identify X with a Coleman family f through f , so that the overconvergent eigenform f that corresponds to a point x ∈ X ( E) is simply the specialization f(x) of the Coleman family f. To simplify notation, we write R for the relative Robba ring R and H () for X O X the relative Iwasawa algebra H ().The p-adic representation V (given as in (51)) O X verifies the properties (C1)–(C3) and therefore comes equipped with a triangulation D ⊂ D (V ) over the relative Robba ring R , verifying the properties ϕ )–ϕ ). Fix an X X 1 3 rig,O O -basis {η} of D (D) and let η ∈ D (D ) = D (D[x ]) denote its specialization at X cris x cris x cris x ∈ X ( E) (equivalently, at weight w(x)). Since O = O in this setting (therefore also H () = H ()), the G - X W X O Q,S equivariant pairing (, ) in (52)is O -linear.

We write α(x) for the U - x p eigenvalue on f , so that when f is p-old, it is the p-stabilization of the newform f with x x ◦ ◦ respect to the root α(x) of the Hecke polynomial of f at p.Welet L ( f ) denote the p,α(x) x x Manin–Višik p-adic L-function associated to an unspecified choice of (apairof) Shimura periods (see, however, item c) in the proof of Theorem 7.3 below, where this choice is made explicit).

Similarly, one checks + + E p,η − − that L (f ; j ,ξ , x) is a non-zero-divisor of H () . Combining these observations with − − E p,η (a), (b) and (c) above, we conclude the proof of (ii). 123 280 D. Benois, K. Büyükboduk We next prove Part (iv). Using the Amice transform, we can consider the functions L (f, ) as elements of H (). It follows from [10, Theorem 3] for classical non-critical p X points x ∈ X ( E) that L (f, , x) coincides, up to multiplication by a non-zero constant, with the Manin–Višik p-adic L-function.

The same − − − − argument proves that L (f ; j ,ξ , x) = u (x)L (f, , x) for some u (x) ∈ O . This − − p X p,η concludes the proof of (iv). Part (iii) is a direct consequence of (iv) (as per the definition of the Pollack–Stevens p-adic L-function) and our theorem is proved. We note that in the particular case when f is the Coleman family passing through a newform 0 k /2 f = f of level (Np) and weight k + 2 with α = a ( f ) = p , the conclusions of 0 0 0 0 p 0 Theorem 7.3 play a crucial role in [6]. When f = f has critical slope but not θ-critical, it is also crucially used in the proof of a conjecture of Perrin-Riou in [11].

Lemma A.3 Suppose R is an integral domain and M is a finitely generated torsion-free R- module. Let { P } be an infinite collection of prime ideals of R such that P ={0}. i i ∈ I i i ∈ I Then, P M ={0}. i ∈ I Proof of Lemma A.3 Let r be the rank of M.

Then am belongs to P M .Since am can be written in a unique way i 0 i ∈ I in the form am = α e,α ∈ R, k k k k=1 we see that α ∈ P ={0} for all k. k i i ∈ I Proof of Proposition A.2 We will proceed in two steps. 1 cl (a) We consider H (Z[1/S], V (1)) as a module over ( ). For any x ∈ X ( E), let X 1 Iw X m ⊂ ( ) denote the kernel of the evaluation-at-x map x X 1 ∞ ∞ i i ( ) −→ ( ), a ( X)(γ − 1) −→ a (x)(γ − 1) .

We will next analyze the regularity of the partially normalized Beilinson–Kato [X ] [X ] element BK ( j,ξ). This amounts to an analysis of the divisibility of BK ( j,ξ) by c,d N N μ (c, d, j, x). In view of Proposition A.2, we may (and henceforth will) work with c and d which are both primitive roots mod p , without any loss. 123 Interpolation of Beilinson–Kato elements and p-adic L-functions 283 Proposition A.4 Suppose c and d are primitive roots modulo p .

Considering the long exact sequence of Galois cohomology induced from 0 −→ V (− j − 1) − → V (− j − 1) −→ V (− j − 1) −→ 0 X X f together with the vanishing of H (Z[1/S], V (− j − 1)) (which follows from the fact that V is irreducible), we infer that the O -module H (Z[1/S], V (− j − 1)) has no X-torsion. f X On shrinking X as necessary, we may therefore ensure that it is torsion free, and therefore free (since O is a PID) as a O -module. As a matter of fact, on shrinking X , we can ensure X X c cl that the L-value L( f ,w(x) − j) is non-central for any x ∈ X ( E) \{x }. For all such x, it follows from [22, Theorem 14.5] and the isomorphism V (− j − 1) V c(w(x) − j) that H (Z[1/S], V (− j − 1)) is a 1-dimensional E-vector space.

Since 1,X 1,X ( j,ξ) [X ,x ] μ (c, j) X (x) = BK ( j,ξ) ∈ H (Z[1/S], V (1)) 1 c,d 1,X x coincides with the classical Beilinson–Kato element c 1 BK ( f , j,ξ) ∈ H (Z[1/S], V (1)). (75) c,d Np,Iw y x Iw Kato’s integrality results in [22, §13.12] (combined with the discussion in Remark 6.10 when f is p-old) show for such x that [X ] BK ( j,ξ, x) ∈ μ (c, d, j, x) · H (Z[1/S], V (1)), c,d 0 N Iw for all c, d as before, integers j ∈[0, k ] and ξ ∈ SL (Z). Since 0 2 μ (c, d, j, x) = μ (c, j)μ (d, j, x), 0 1 2 and H (Z[1/S], V (1)) is torsion-free (and even free) [1/ p]-module, we deduce that Iw ( j,ξ) X (x) ∈ μ (d, j, x) · H (Z[1/S], V (1)). 1,X Iw x ( j,ξ) −1 1 j −1 Let X | ∈ H (Z[1/S], V (ffl χ )) denote the cyclotomic specialization of s=w− j +2 1,X X wt ( j,ξ) · − j +2 X . Recall that μ (d, j, x) = γ −ffl χ (γ ). Now a diagram chase similar to the one 2 wt 1,X employed in §A.3.2 shows that ( j,ξ) 1 −1 j −1 X | ∈ m H (Z[1/S], V (ffl χ )). s=w− j +2 x 1,X X wt Since the intersection of any infinite family of ideals m is zero, we deduce using Lemma A.3 that ( j,ξ) 1 −1 j −1 X | ∈ m H (Z[1/S], V (ffl χ )) ={0} s=w− j +2 x 1,X X wt cl x ∈X ( E) This shows that ( j,ξ) − j +2 1 X ∈ (γ −ffl χ (γ )) H (Z[1/S], V (1)), wt Iw X 1,X and (73) is proved. This also completes the proof of Proposition A.4. Remark A.5 One reason why we need the rather tortuous analysis in Proposition A.4 is that we don’t know if the following statement holds true: In the notation of [22, Theorem 6.6], we have δ( f , j,ξ) = 0 for some j = ± 1, where ± is the sign of (−1) .
