Selberg zeta functions with virtual characters and the class number
Let be a function field of characteristic , a -extension (for some prime ) and a non-isotrivial elliptic curve. We study the behaviour of the -parts of the Selmer groups ( any prime) in the subextensions of via appropriate versions of Mazur’s Control Theorem. As a consequence we prove that the limit of the Selmer groups is a cofinitely generated (in some cases cotorsion) module over the Iwasawa algebra of .
Si est une extension abélienne de de degré impair, l’étude du 2-groupe des classes (au sens ordinaire) de (et même celle de la parité du nombre de classes de ) est non triviale, et les algorithmes connus ne dépassent guère le cas .L’expression analytique de s’interprète à l’aide d’indices convenables de groupes d’unités cyclotomiques (Hasse et Leopoldt) ; ce dernier point de vue permet une caractérisation de la parité de , en fonction de l’existence d’unités cyclotomiques totalement...
Let be an elliptic curve over with good supersingular reduction at a prime and . We generalise the definition of Kobayashi’s plus/minus Selmer groups over to -adic Lie extensions of containing , using the theory of -modules and Berger’s comparison isomorphisms. We show that these Selmer groups can be equally described using Kobayashi’s conditions via the theory of overconvergent power series. Moreover, we show that such an approach gives the usual Selmer groups in the ordinary case....
Let K/k be a ℤₚ-extension of a number field k, and denote by kₙ its layers. We prove some stabilization properties for the orders and the p-ranks of the higher Iwasawa modules arising from the lower central series of the Galois group of the maximal unramified pro-p-extension of K (resp. of the kₙ).
