The Ichino-Ikeda conjecture is an identity that relates a ratio of special values of automorphic L-functions to a ratio of period integrals. Both sides of this identity are expected to satisfy certain equidistribution properties when the data vary, and indeed it has been possible to transfer such properties from one side of the identity to the other in cases where the identity is known. The present article studies parallels between complex-analytic and p-adic equidistribution properties and relates the latter to questions about Galois cohomology.
