Abstract

In this work we prove the so-called "torsion congruences" between abelian pp-adic LL-functions that are related to automorphic representations of definite unitary groups. These congruences play a central role in the non-commutative Iwasawa theory as it became clear in the works of Kakde, Ritter and Weiss on the non-abelian Main Conjecture for the Tate motive. We tackle these congruences for a general definite unitary group of nn variables and we obtain more explicit results in the special cases of n=1n=1 and n=2n=2. In both of these cases we also explain their implications for some particular "motives", as for example elliptic curves with complex multiplication.
