Let \(f\) be a classical newform of even weight \(k_0+ 2\geq 2\) for \(\Gamma_0(Np)\), with a prime \(p> 2\) and \(N\) a positive integer not divisible by \(p\). Assume that \(f\) is split multiplicative at \(p\), i.e. the eigenvalue \(a_p(f)\) of the operator \(U_p\) acting on \(f\) satisfies \(a_p(f)= p^{k_0/2}\). Let \(L(f, s)\) denote the complex \(L\)-function attached to \(f\).
Let \(L_p(f,-)\) be the corresponding \(p\)-adic \(L\)-function associated to \(f\) (depending on the choice of a complex period \(\Omega_f\)). Let \(L^*(f, 1+ k_0/2):= L(f,1+ k_0/2)/\Omega_f\) denote the algebraic part of \(L(f, s)\) at \(s= 1+ k_0/2\).
B. Mazur, J. Tate and J. Teitelbaum [Invent. Math. 84, 1–48 (1986; Zbl 0699.14028)] made the following conjecture: There exists a constant \({\mathcal L}(f)\in\mathbb{C}_p\), such that \(L_p'(f, 1+ k_0/2)={\mathcal L}(f)L^*(f, 1+ k_0/2)\).
The \({\mathcal L}\)-invariant \({\mathcal L}(f)\) was defined by Mazur, Tate and Teitelbaum (loc. cit.) only in the weight two case. In the higher weight case, several (a priori inequivalent) definitions of \({\mathcal L}(f)\) were proposed: \({\mathcal L}_T(f)\) by J. T. Teitelbaum [Invent. Math. 101, No. 2, 395–410 (1990; Zbl 0731.11065)]; \({\mathcal L}_C(f)\) by R. F. Coleman [Contemp. Math. 165, 21–51 (1994; Zbl 0838.11033)]; \({\mathcal L}_{FM}(f)\) by J.-M. Fontaine and B. Mazur [Cambridge, MA: International Press. Ser. Number Theory. 1, 41–78 (1995; Zbl 0839.14011); \({\mathcal L}_0(f)\) by L. Orton [Can. J. Math. 56, No. 2, 373–405 (2004; Zbl 1060.11030)]; \({\mathcal L}_{Br}(f)\) by C. Breuil [Astérisque 331, 65–115 (2010; Zbl 1246.11106)].
We now know that all the above \({\mathcal L}\)-invariants are equal (when they are defined) as result of work of many people: \({\mathcal L}_C(f)={\mathcal L}_{FM}(f)\) (Coleman-Iovita, Colmez); \({\mathcal L}_T(f)={\mathcal L}_C(f)\) (Iovita-Spiess); \({\mathcal L}_{Br}(f)={\mathcal L}_0(f)\) (Breuil).
The conjecture of Mazur, Tate and Teitelbaum was first proved by R. Greenberg and G. Stevens [Invent. Math. 111, No. 2, 407–447 (1993; Zbl 0778.11034)] for the weight two case. In the higher weight case, several proofs have been announced: by Kato-Kurihara-Tsuji, working with \({\mathcal L}_{FM}(f)\) (unpublished); by Stevens, working with \({\mathcal L}_C(f)\) (unpublished); by Orton, working with \({\mathcal L}_C(f)\) [loc. cit.], and by M. Emerton, working with \({\mathcal L}_{Br}(f)\) [Duke Math. J. 130, No. 2, 353–392 (2005; Zbl 1092.11024)].
The authors describe a new proof of the “exceptional zero conjecture” of Mazur, Tate and Teitelbaum. Their proof relies on Teitelbaum’s approach to the \({\mathcal L}\)-invariant, based on the Cherednik-Drinfeld theory of \(p\)-adic uniformisation of Shimura curves.
