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 f ∈ C1() 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 , the Radon-Nikodym derivative of a weakly Volkenborn distribution , 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 , and prove that = f. Finally if is a strongly Volkenborn distribution , with a C1 Radon-Nikodym derivative , then , where is a measure on . This last identity resembles the Lebesgue decomposition of a complex measure into an absolute continuous measure and a singular one. |
