Abstract
We give a new description of Pollack's plus and minus p-adic logarithms logp± in terms of distributions. In particular, if μ± denote the pre-images of logp± under the Amice transform, we give explicit formulae for the values μ±(a+pnZp) for all a∈Zp and all integers n≥1. Our formulae imply that the distribution μ− 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.
