Non-cuspidal Bianchi modular forms and Katz $p$-adic $L$-functions

Abstract

Let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field. In this article, we construct $p$-adic $L$-functions of non-cuspidal Bianchi modular forms by introducing the notions of $C$-cuspidality and partial Bianchi modular symbols. When $p$ splits in $K$, we focus on $p$-adic $L$-functions of non-cuspidal base change Bianchi modular forms, showing that they factor as products of two Katz $p$-adic $L$-functions.
