Lectures on P-Adic L-Functions
An especially timely work, the book is an introduction to the theory of p-adic L-functions originated by Kubota and Leopoldt in 1964 as p-adic analogues of the classical L-functions of Dirichlet.
Professor Iwasawa reviews the classical results on Dirichlet''s L-functions and sketches a proof for some of them. Next he defines generalized Bernoulli numbers and discusses some of their fundamental prop...
