Abstract/Summary:
The purpose of this thesis is to extend the Volkenborn integral of a function by replacing the Haar distribution with weakly Volkenborn distributions. We prove that all functions fC1( Zp,C p ) are Volkenborn integrable with respect to weakly Volkenborn distributions and find relations between the Volkenborn integral of a C1 function and its Mahler coefficients. We show how the log circular unit distribution can define an analytic function which interpolates p-adiclly the L-values L(χ, 0), where L is the complex L-function. Then we define fm , the Radon-Nikodym derivative of a weakly Volkenborn distribution m , with respect to Haar distribution and show that Radon-Nikodym derivatives of strongly Volkenborn distributions are Lipshitz functions. Furthermore, for any C 1 function f, we associate a strongly Volkenborn distribution mf , and prove that fmf = f. Finally if m is a strongly Volkenborn distribution m , with a C1 Radon-Nikodym derivative fm , then m=mfm+m 1 , where m1 is a measure on Zp . This last identity resembles the Lebesgue decomposition of a complex measure into an absolute continuous measure and a singular one.
