3 Introduction p-adic (Coleman) integrals What can Coleman integrals tell us? Different integrals, different things: Experiments with Chabauty s method: find such that 0 ω = 0 Torsion points on curves (Coleman s original application, for curves of g > 1) Kim s nonabelian Chabauty method: use z b ω 0ω 1 to recover integral points on elliptic curves p-adic heights on curves: h p (D 1, D 2 ) = D 2 ω D1 Syntomic regulators on curves: for {f, g} K 2 (C), reg p ({f, g})(ω) = (f ) log(g)ω p-adic polylogarithms and multiple zeta values, following Besser-de Jeu Jennifer Balakrishnan (Harvard) Computations with Coleman integrals AWM 40 Years and Counting 1 / 22

4 Introduction Hyperelliptic curves Why hyperelliptic curves? A hyperelliptic curve is a smooth projective curve C/K (char K 2) of genus g 1 with an affine model with deg f (x) 2g + 2. Why hyperelliptic curves? y 2 = f (x), Key step in the calculation of Coleman integrals: matrix of Frobenius on de Rham cohomology Kedlaya s algorithm does this (and has been implemented) for hyperelliptic curves, so hyperelliptic curves are a natural starting point Analogues of Kedlaya s algorithm exist for other classes of curves and varieties, so what we re describing today could be extended to these objects (more later) Jennifer Balakrishnan (Harvard) Computations with Coleman integrals AWM 40 Years and Counting 2 / 22

5 Notation and setup X: genus g hyperelliptic curve (of the form y 2 = f (x), f monic of degree d) over K = Q p p: prime of good reduction X: special fibre of X X an C p : generic fibre of X (as a rigid analytic space) Jennifer Balakrishnan (Harvard) Computations with Coleman integrals AWM 40 Years and Counting 3 / 22

6 Notation and setup, in pictures There is a natural reduction map from XC an p to X; the inverse image of any point of X is a subspace of XC an p isomorphic to an open unit disk. We call such a disk a residue disk of X. A wide open subspace of XC an p is the complement in XC an p of the union of a finite collection of disjoint closed disks of radius λ i < 1: -1 red () -1 red (S) red -1 red (R) R X an Cp S X λ1 λ2 1 1 Jennifer Balakrishnan (Harvard) Computations with Coleman integrals AWM 40 Years and Counting 4 / 22

7 Computing tiny integrals We refer to any Coleman integral of the form Q ω in which, Q lie in the same residue disk as a tiny integral. To compute such an integral: Construct a linear interpolation from to Q. For instance, in a non-weierstrass residue disk, we may take x(t) = (1 t)x() + tx(q) y(t) = f (x(t)), where y(t) is expanded as a formal power series in t. Formally integrate the power series in t: Q ω = 1 0 ω(x(t), y(t)) dt. Q Jennifer Balakrishnan (Harvard) Computations with Coleman integrals AWM 40 Years and Counting 5 / 22

8 roperties of the Coleman integral Coleman formulated an integration theory on wide open subspaces of curves over O, exhibiting no phenomena of path dependence. This allows us to define Q ω whenever ω is a meromorphic 1-form on X, and, Q X(Q p ) are points where ω is holomorphic. roperties of the Coleman integral include: Theorem (Coleman) Linearity: Q (αω 1 + βω 2 ) = α Q ω 1 + β Q ω 2. Additivity: R ω = Q ω + R Q ω. Change of variables: if X is another such curve, and f : U U is a rigid analytic map between wide opens, then Q f ω = f (Q) f () ω. Fundamental theorem of calculus: Q df = f (Q) f (). Jennifer Balakrishnan (Harvard) Computations with Coleman integrals AWM 40 Years and Counting 6 / 22

12 Coleman s construction How do we integrate if, Q aren t in the same residue disk? Coleman s key idea: use Frobenius to move between different residue disks (Dwork s analytic continuation along Frobenius ) Frobenius Q Q Tiny integral So we need to calculate the action of Frobenius on differentials.

13 Frobenius, MW-cohomology X : affine curve (X { Weierstrass points of X }) A: coordinate ring of X To discuss the differentials we will be integrating, we recall: The Monsky-Washnitzer (MW) weak completion of A is the ring A consisting of infinite sums of the form { i= B i (x) y i, B i (x) K[x], deg B i 2g further subject to the condition that v p (B i (x)) grows faster than a linear function of i as i ±. We make a ring out of these using the relation y 2 = f (x). These functions are holomorphic on wide opens, so we will integrate 1-forms ω = g(x, y) dx 2y, g(x, y) A.

14 Odd vs even degree models of the curve Any odd differential ω = g(x, y) dx 2y, g(x, y) A can be written as where f ω A, c i K and ω = df ω + c 0 ω c d 2 ω d 2, ω i = xi dx 2y (i = 0,..., d 2), with d = deg f (x). When d = 2g + 1, the set {ω i } d 2 i=0 forms a basis of the odd part of the de Rham cohomology of A. Let us suppose that d is odd. By linearity and the fundamental theorem of calculus, we reduce the integration of ω to the integration of the ω i.

31 Integrals that compute heights (joint with Besser) Why p-adic heights? Interpolating special values of the L-function in the usual BSD conjecture, we obtain a p-adic BSD conjecture: Conjecture (Mazur, Tate, and Teitelbaum) Let E be an elliptic curve over Q and let p be a prime of good ordinary reduction for E. Then the algebraic rank of E equals ord T (L p (E, T)) and L p(e, 0) = (1 α 1 ) 2 l c l X(E/Q) Reg p (E) E(Q) tors 2, with α the unit root of x 2 a p x + p and where the p-adic regulator Reg p (E) Q p is defined analogously to the classical regulator: Take 1,... r be a basis for E(Q) modulo torsion. Then Reg p (E) = det(m), where M ij = i, j p, with a p-adic height pairing, p : E(Q) E(Q) Q p. Jennifer Balakrishnan (Harvard) Computations with Coleman integrals AWM 40 Years and Counting 13 / 22
