Prolongement analytique de fonctions $\zeta$ et de fonctions $L$

Abstract

Wiles' work on Fermat's last Theorem highlighted the power of $p$-adic methods to prove the existence of analytic continuations of $\zeta$ and $L$ functions. These methods have become considerably more sophisticated in recent years, and have produced a wealth of beautiful results: Hasse--Weil conjecture for genus $2$ curves, holomorphy of $L$-functions of symmetric powers of modular forms, etc. We present some of these advances.
