Abstract
We study p-adic families of eigenforms for which the p-th Hecke eigenvalue 𝑎𝑝 a p has constant p-adic valuation (“constant slope families”). We prove two separate upper bounds for the size of such families. The first is in terms of the logarithmic derivative of 𝑎𝑝 a p while the second depends only on the slope of the family. We also investigate the numerical relationship between our results and the former Gouvêa–Mazur conjecture.
