TITLE: What is the value of $p$-adic $\zeta$-function at positive integer point?
QUESTION [12 upvotes]: $p$-adic zeta function is a $p$-adic interpolation of the Riemann $\zeta$-function for the values $\zeta(1−k)$, $k\ge 1$ (see $p$-adic Numbers, $p$-adic Analysis, and Zeta-Functions by Neal Koblitz) or, more precisely, it's corrected values
$$\zeta_p(1−k):=-(1-p^{k-1})\frac{B_k}{k}.$$
What is known about the values $\zeta_p(k)$ for $k\ge 1$?

REPLY [6 votes]: Let me mention some irrationality results about p-adic zeta values:
In 2005, Frank Calegari arxiv link proved that for $p=2,3$, the p-adic zeta values $\zeta_p(3)$ is irrational (hence nonzero). It can be viewed as the p-adic analogue of Apéry's theorem. Later, Frits Beukers arxiv link gave an alternating proof of Calegari's results (and the irrationality for some other p-adic L-values).
In 2010, Pierre Bel arxiv link obtained some partial results on the irrationality of p-adic Hurwitz zeta values. See also his 2018 paper on $\zeta_p(4,x)$.
Very recently (in 2020), Johannes Sprang arxiv link showed that
$$ \dim_{K}(K+\zeta_p(2)K+\zeta_p(3)K+\cdots+\zeta_p(s)K) \geqslant \frac{(1-o(1))\log s}{2[K:\mathbb{Q}](1+\log 2)}, $$
which is the analogue of Ball-Rivoal theorem for p-adic zeta values.
