Abstract

We discuss modular forms as objects of computer algebra and as elements of certain p-adic Banach modules. Problem-solving approach in number theory is discussed which is based on the use of generating functions and their links with modular forms. In particular, the critical values of various L-functions of modular forms produce non-trivial but computable solutions of arithmetical problems. Namely, for a prime number p5p\ge 5, we consider three classical cusp eigenforms fj(z)=n=1an,je(nz)\Srkj(Nj,ψj), (j=1,2,3)f_j(z)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_{n,j}e(nz)\in \Sr_{k_j}(N_j, \psi_j),\ (j=1, 2,3) of weights k_1, k_2, k_3, of conductors N_1, N_2, N_3, and of nebentypus characters ψjmodNj\psi_j \bmod N_j. According to H.Hida \cite{Hi86} and R.Coleman \cite{CoPB}, one can include each fjf_j (j=1,2,3)(j=1, 2, 3) (under suitable assumptions on pp and on fjf_j) into a pp-adic analytic family kj{fj,kj=n=1an(fj,kj)qn}k_j{}\mapsto \{f_{j,k_j{}}= \sum_{n=1}^\infty a_{n}(f_{j, k_j{}})q^n\} of cusp eigenforms fj,kjf_{j,k_j{}} of weights kjk_j{} in such a way that fj,kj=fjf_{j,k_j}=f_j, and that all their Fourier coefficients an(fj,kj)a_n(f_{j, k_j{}}) are given by certain pp-adic analytic functions kjan,j(kj)k_j{}\mapsto a_{n, j}(k_j{}). The purpose of this paper is to describe a four variable p-adic L-function attached to Garrett's triple product of three Coleman's families kj{fj,kj=n=1an,j(k)qn}k_j{}\mapsto \left \{f_{j,k_j{}}= \sum_{n=1}^\infty a_{n,j}(k{}) q^n\right \} of cusp eigenforms of three fixed slopes σj=vp(αp,j(1)(kj))0\sigma_j=v_p(\alpha_{p, j}^{(1)}(k_j{}))\ge 0, where αp,j(1)=\alp,j(1)(kj)\alpha_{p,j}^{(1)} = \al_{p,j}^{(1)}(k_j{}) is an eigenvalue (which depends on kjk_j{}) of Atkin's operator U=UpU=U_p acting on Fourier expansions by U(n0anqn)=n0anpqnU(\sum_{n\ge 0}^\infty a_{n}q^n) = \sum_{n \ge 0}^\infty a_{np} q^n.
