Abstract

top
We study the Iwasawa theory of a CM elliptic curve E in the anticyclotomic Z p -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 of 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 show 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.
