p-adic L-functions and Euler systems: a tale in two trilogies

Abstract

This chapter surveys six different special value formulae for p-adic L-functions, stressing their common features and their eventual arithmetic applications via Kolyvagin’s theory of “Euler systems”, in the spirit of Coates-Wiles and Kato-Perrin-Riou.
