We introduce a common generalization of essentially all known methods for explicit computation of Selmer groups, which are used to bound the ranks of abelian varieties over global fields. We also simplify and extend the proofs relating what is computed to the cohomologically defined Selmer groups. Selmer group computations have been practical for many Jacobians of curves over $\mathbb{Q}$ of genus up to 2 since the 1990s, but our approach is the first to be practical for general curves of genus 3. We show that our approach succeeds on some genus 3 examples defined by polynomials with small coefficients.

AbstractWe prove some new results on the arithmetic of abelian varieties over function fields of one variable over finitely generated (infinite) fields. Among other things, we introduce certain new natural objects “discrete Selmer groups” and “discrete Shafarevich–Tate groups”, and prove that they are finitely generated {\mathbb{Z}}-modules. Further, we prove that in the isotrivial case, the discrete Shafarevich–Tate group vanishes and the discrete Selmer group coincides with the Mordell–Weil group. One of the key ingredients to prove these results is a new specialisation theorem for first Galois cohomology groups, which generalises Néron’s specialisation theorem for rational points of abelian varieties.

Ordinary Reduction

Let E be an elliptic curve — defined over a number field K — without complex multiplication and with good ordinary reduction at all the primes above a rational prime p ≥ 5. We construct a pairing on the dual p∞-Selmer group of E over any strongly admissible p-adic Lie extension K∞/K under the assumption that it is a torsion module over the Iwasawa algebra of the Galois group G = Gal(K∞/K). Under some mild additional hypotheses, this gives an algebraic functional equation of the conjectured p-adic L-function. As an application, we construct completely faithful Selmer groups in case the p-adic Lie extension is obtained by adjoining the p-power division points of another non-CM elliptic curve A.

AbstractIn this paper, we study the growth of fine Selmer groups in two cases. First, we study the growth of fine Selmer ranks in multiple $\mathbb{Z}_{p}$-extensions. We show that the growth of the fine Selmer group is unbounded in such towers. We recover a sufficient condition to prove the $\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}=0$ conjecture for cyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_{p}$-extensions. We show that in certain non-cyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_{p}$-towers, the $\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}$-invariant of the fine Selmer group can be arbitrarily large. Second, we show that in an unramified $p$-class field tower, the growth of the fine Selmer group is unbounded. This tower is non-Abelian and non-$p$-adic analytic.

Rational Isogeny

In this paper, we study a family of elliptic curves with CM by which also admits a ℚ-rational isogeny of degree 3. We find a relation between the Selmer groups of the elliptic curves and the ambiguous ideal class groups of certain cubic fields. We also find some bounds for the dimension of the 3-Selmer group over ℚ, whose upper bound is also an upper bound of the rank of the elliptic curve.

We prove a functional equation for the characteristic ideal of the "big" Selmer group 𝒳(𝒯ℱ/F cyc ) associated to an ordinary Hida family of elliptic modular forms over the cyclotomic ℤp extension of a general number field F, under the assumption that there is at least one arithmetic specialization whose Selmer group is torsion over its Iwasawa algebra. For a general number field, the two-variable cyclotomic Iwasawa main conjecture for ordinary Hida family is not proved and this can be thought of as an evidence to the validity of the Iwasawa main conjecture. The central idea of the proof is to prove a variant of the result of Perrin-Riou [Groupes de Selmer et accouplements; cas particulier des courbes elliptiques, Doc. Math.2003 (2003) 725–760, Extra Volume: Kazuya Kato's fiftieth birthday] by constructing a generalized pairing on the individual Selmer groups corresponding to the arithmetic points and make use of the appropriate specialization techniques of Ochiai [Euler system for Galois deformations, Ann. Inst. Fourier (Grenoble)55(1) (2005) 113–146].

In this paper, we will study the pseudo-nullity of the dual fine Selmer group and its related question. We investigate certain situations, where one can deduce the pseudo-nullity of the dual fine Selmer group of a general Galois module over an admissible p-adic Lie extension F∞ from the knowledge of the pseudo-nullity of the Galois group of the maximal abelian unramified pro-p extension of F∞ at which every prime of F∞ above p splits completely. In particular, this gives us a way to construct examples of the pseudo-nullity of the dual fine Selmer group of a Galois module that is unramified outside p. We will illustrate our results with many examples.

AbstractSuppose K is an imaginary quadratic field and E is an elliptic curve over a number field F with complex multiplication by the ring of integers in K. Let p be a rational prime that splits as in K. Let Epn denote the pn-division points on E. Assume that F(Epn) is abelian over K for all n ≥ 0. This paper proves that the Pontrjagin dual of the -Selmer group of E over F(Ep∞) is a finitely generated free Λ-module, where Λ is the Iwasawa algebra of . It also gives a simple formula for the rank of the Pontrjagin dual as a Λ-module.

AbstractWe study a (p-adic) geometric analogue for abelian varieties over a function field of characteristic p of the cyclotomic Iwasawa theory and the non-commutative Iwasawa theory for abelian varieties over a number field initiated by Mazur and Coates respectively. We will prove some analogue of the principal results obtained in the case over a number field and we study new phenomena which did not happen in the case of number field case. We also propose a conjecture (Conjecture 1.6) which might be considered as a counterpart of the principal conjecture in the case over a number field.

This paper proves a control theorem for the p-primary Selmer group of an abelian variety with respect to extensions of the form: Maximal pro-p extension of a number field unramified outside a finite set of primes R which does not include any primes dividing p in which another finite set of primes S splits completely. When the Galois group of the extension is not p-adic analytic, the control theorem gives information about p-ranks of Selmer and Tate–Shafarevich groups of the abelian variety. The paper also discusses what can be said in regards to a control theorem when the set R contains all the primes of the number field dividing p.
