Abstract
We consider modifications of Manin symbols in first homology groups of modular curves with \(\mathbb {Z}_p\)-coefficients for an odd prime p. We show that these symbols generate homology in primitive eigenspaces for the action of diamond operators, with a certain condition on the eigenspace that can be removed on Eisenstein parts. We apply this to prove the integrality of maps taking compatible systems of Manin symbols to compatible systems of zeta elements. In the work of the first two authors on an Iwasawa-theoretic conjecture of the third author, these maps are constructed with certain bounded denominators. As a consequence, their main result on the conjecture was proven after inverting p, and the results of this paper allow one to remove this condition.
Résumé
Cet article est consacré à l’étude de certaines modifications des symboles de Manin dans le premier groupe d’homologie d’une courbe modulaire à coefficients dans \(\mathbb {Z}_p\) pour un nombre premier p impair. On démontre que ces symboles de Manin engendrent les sous-espaces propres de l’homologie associés aux caractères primitifs pour l’action des opérateurs diamants, modulo une condition qui peut être enlevée pour les parties Eisenstein. Ces résultats servent à démontrer l’intégralité de certaines fonctions allant des systèmes compatibles d’éléments de Manin vers les systèmes compatibles d’éléments zêta. Dans des travaux antérieurs des deux premiers auteurs autour d’une conjecture du troisième auteur, ces applications furent construites, mais seulement à dénominateurs bornés, ce qui a permis seulement de démontrer la conjecture après inversion de p. Les résultats plus fins de cet article permettent d’enlever cette restriction.
