Plus and minus logarithms and Amice transform
We give a new description of Pollack's plus and minus -adic logarithms
in terms of distributions. In particular, if denote the
pre-images of under the Amice transform, we give explicit formulae
for the values for all and all
integers . Our formulae imply that the distribution agrees with
a distribution studied by Koblitz in 1977. Furthermore, we show that a similar
description exists for Loeffler's two-variable analogues of these plus and
minus logarithms.Comment: 9 page
