Abstract

The purpose of this article is to investigate the radius of convergence of the p-adic sigma function of elliptic curves, especially when p is a prime of supersingular reduction. As an application, we prove certain p-divisibility of critical values of Hecke L-functions of imaginary quadratic fields at inert primes.
