$p$-adic Asai and twisted triple product $L$-functions for finite slope families

Abstract

We define a two-variable $p$-adic Asai $L$-function for a finite-slope family of Hilbert modular forms over a real quadratic field (with one component of the weight, and the cyclotomic twist variable, varying independently); and a two-variable ``twisted triple product'' $L$-function, interpolating the central $L$-value of the tensor product of such a family with a family of elliptic modular forms. The former construction generalizes a construction due to Grossi, Zerbes and the second author for ordinary families; the latter is a counterpart of the twisted triple product $L$-function of arXiv:2401.13230, but differs in that it interpolates classical $L$-values in a different range of weights, in which the dominant weight comes from the Hilbert modular form. Our construction relies on a ``nearly-overconvergent'' version of higher Coleman theory for Hilbert modular surfaces.
