Eisenstein series, $p$-adic modular functions, and overconvergence, II

Abstract

Let $p$ be a prime number. Continuing and extending our previous paper with the same title, we prove explicit rates of overconvergence for modular functions of the form $\frac{E_k^{\ast }}{V(E_k^{\ast })}$ where $E_k^{\ast }$ is a classical, normalized Eisenstein series on ${\Gamma }_0(p)$ and $V$ the $p$-adic Frobenius operator. In particular, we extend our previous paper to the primes $2$ and $3$. For these primes our main theorem improves somewhat upon earlier results by Emerton, Buzzard and Kilford, and Roe. We include a detailed discussion of those earlier results as seen from our perspective. We also give some improvements to our earlier paper for primes $p\ge 5$. Apart from establishing these improvements, our main purpose here is also to show that all of these results can be obtained by a uniform method, i.e., a method where the main points in the argumentation is the same for all primes. We illustrate the results by some numerical examples.
