Abstract
Since Rob Pollack and Glenn Stevens used overconvergent modular symbols to construct p-adic L-functions for non-critical slope rational modular forms, the theory has been extended to construct p-adic L-functions for non-critical slope automorphic forms over totally real and imaginary quadratic fields by the first and second authors respectively. In this paper, we give an analogous construction over a general number field. In particular, we start by proving a control theorem stating that the specialisation map from overconvergent to classical modular symbols is an isomorphism on the small slope subspace. We then show that if one takes the modular symbol attached to a small slope cuspidal eigenform, then there is a canonical way of constructing a ray class distribution from the corresponding overconvergent symbol, that moreover interpolates critical values of the L-function of the eigenform. We thus define its p-adic L-function to be this distribution.

Notes
In this paper, we blended the methods and results of our respective PhD theses to construct p-adic L-functions for small slope cohomological automorphic forms for GL(2) over general number fields. The main novelties over our previous papers were a more general definition of 'automorphic cycles', adapted to the number field case, and a canonicity result for the resulting distribution. In particular, in the completely general setting p-adic L-functions are not uniquely determined by an interpolation property, unlike in our previous papers; we proved that our construction is canonical. The results were a significant generalisation of previously known constructions of p-adic L-functions in this setting, which largely restricted to the ordinary setting.
