چکیده
We study the Iwasawa theory of a CM elliptic curve E in the anticyclotomic Zp-extension of the CM field, where p is a prime of good, ordinary reduction for E. When the complex L-function of E vanishes to even order, Rubin’s proof the two variable main conjecture of Iwasawa theory implies that the Pontryagin dual of the p-power Selmer group over the anticyclotomic extension is a torsion Iwasawa module. When the order of vanishing is odd, work of Greenberg shows that it is not a torsion module. In this paper we show that in the case of odd order of vanishing the dual of the Selmer group has rank exactly one, and we prove a form of the Iwasawa main conjecture for the torsion submodule. 0. Introduction and statement of results Let K be an imaginary quadratic field of class number one, and let E/Q be an elliptic curve with complex multiplication by the maximal order OK of K. Let ψ denote the K-valued grossencharacter associated to E, and fix a rational prime p > 3 at which E has good, ordinary reduction. Write Q p ⊂ Cp for the maximal unramified extension of Qp, and let R0 denote the completion of its ring of integers. If F/K is any Galois extension, then we write Λ(F ) = Zp[[Gal(F/K)]] for the generalised Iwasawa algebra, and we set Λ(F )R0 = R0[[Gal(F/K)]]. Let C∞ and D∞ be the cyclotomic and anticyclotomic Zp-extensions of K, respectively, and let K∞ = C∞D∞ be the unique Z 2 p-extension of K. As p is a prime of ordinary reduction for E, it follows that p splits into two distinct primes pOK = pp ∗ over K. A construction of Katz gives a canonical measure L ∈ Λ(K∞)R0 , the two-variable p-adic L-function, denoted μp∗(K∞, ψp∗) in the text, which interpolates the value at s = 0 of twists of L(ψ, s) by characters of Gal(K∞/K). It is a theorem of Coates [1] that the Pontryagin dual of the Selmer group Selp∗(E/K∞) ⊂ H(K∞, E[p ]) is a torsion Λ(K∞)-module, and a fundamental theorem of Rubin, the two-variable Iwasawa main conjecture, asserts that the characteristic ideal of this torsion module is generated by L. In many cases this allows one to deduce properties of the p-power Selmer group of E over subfields of K∞.

Standard “control theorems” imply that the characteristic ideal of X(D∞) def = Hom (

We study the Iwasawa theory of a CM elliptic curve E in the anticyclotomic Zpextension D∞ of the CM field K, where p is a prime of good, supersingular reduction for E. Our main result yields an asymptotic formula for the corank of the p-primary Selmer group of E along the extension D∞/K.

متن کاملThe anticyclotomic Main Conjecture for elliptic curves at supersingular primes
The Main Conjecture of Iwasawa theory for an elliptic curve E over Q and the anticyclotomic Zp-extension of an imaginary quadratic field K was studied in [BD2], in the case where p is a prime of ordinary reduction for E. Analogous results are formulated, and proved, in the case where p is a prime of supersingular reduction. The foundational study of supersingular main conjectures carried out by...

Let E be an elliptic curve over Q and let p ≥ 5 be a prime of good supersingular reduction for E. Let K be an imaginary quadratic field satisfying a modified “Heegner hypothesis” in which p splits, write K∞ for the anticyclotomic Zp-extension of K and let Λ denote the Iwasawa algebra of K∞/K. By extending to the supersingular case the Λ-adic Kolyvagin method originally developed by Bertolini in...
