On the Artin formalism for triple product $p$-adic $L$-functions

Abstract

Our main objective in the present article is to study the factorization problem for triple-product $p$-adic $L$-functions, particularly in the scenarios when the defining properties of the $p$-adic $L$-functions involved have no bearing on this problem, although Artin formalism would suggest such a factorization. Our analysis, which is guided by the ETNC philosophy, recasts this problem as a comparison of diagonal cycles, Beilinson--Kato elements, and Heegner cycles.
