WEIERSTRASS ZETA FUNCTIONS AND p-ADIC LINEAR RELATIONS

We discuss the p-adic Weierstrass zeta functions associated with elliptic curves defined over the field of algebraic numbers and linear relations for their values in the p-adic domain. These results are extensions of the p-adic analogues of results given by Wüstholz in the complex domain [see A. Baker and G. Wüstholz, Logarithmic Forms and Diophantine Geometry, New Mathematical Monographs, 9 (Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 2007), Theorem 6.3] and also generalise a result of Bertrand to higher dimensions [‘Sous-groupes à un paramètre p-adique de variétés de groupe’, Invent. Math. 40(2) (1977), 171–193].
