Abstract The plus and minus norm groups are constructed by Kobayashi as subgroups of the formal group of an elliptic curve with supersingular reduction, and they play an important role in Kobayashi’s definition of the signed Selmer groups. In this paper, we study the cohomology of these plus and minus norm groups. In particular, we show that these plus and minus norm groups are cohomologically trivial. As an application of our analysis, we establish certain (quasi-)projectivity properties of the non-primitive mixed signed Selmer groups of an elliptic curve with good reduction at all primes above p. We then build on these projectivity results to derive a Kida formula for the signed Selmer groups under a slight weakening of the usual µ = 0 assumption, and study the integrality property of the characteristic element attached to the signed Selmer groups.

Let $p$ be an odd prime number and $E$ an elliptic curve defined over a number field $F$ with good reduction at every prime of $F$ above $p$. We compute the Euler characteristics of the signed Selmer groups of $E$ over the cyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_{p}$-extension. The novelty of our result is that we allow the elliptic curve to have mixed reduction types for primes above $p$ and mixed signs in the definition of the signed Selmer groups.

Let [Formula: see text] be an elliptic curve defined over a number field [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] splits completely. Suppose that [Formula: see text] has good reduction at all primes above [Formula: see text]. Generalizing previous works of Kobayashi and Sprung, we define multiply signed Selmer groups over the cyclotomic [Formula: see text]-extension of a finite extension [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] is unramified. Under the hypothesis that the Pontryagin duals of these Selmer groups are torsion over the corresponding Iwasawa algebra, we show that the Mordell–Weil ranks of [Formula: see text] over a subextension of the cyclotomic [Formula: see text]-extension are bounded. Furthermore, we derive an aysmptotic formula of the growth of the [Formula: see text]-parts of the Tate–Shafarevich groups of [Formula: see text] over these extensions.

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.

Given a non-isotrivial elliptic curve over an arithmetic surface, one obtains a lisse $\ell$-adic sheaf of rank two over the surface. This lisse sheaf has a number of straightforward properties: cyclotomic determinant, finite ramification, rational traces of Frobenius elements, and somewhere not potentially good reduction. We prove that any lisse sheaf of rank two possessing these properties comes from an elliptic curve.

AbstractConsider an elliptic curve defined over an imaginary quadratic fieldKwith good reduction at the primes abovep≥ 5 and with complex multiplication by the full ring of integersof K. In this paper, we constructp-adic analogues of the Eisenstein-Kronecker series for such an elliptic curve as Coleman functions on the elliptic curve. We then provep-adic analogues of the first and second Kronecker limit formulas by using the distribution relation of the Kronecker theta function.

AbstractLet be an algebraic closure of ℚ2 and K be an unramified finite extension of ℚ2 included in . Let E be an elliptic curve defined over K with additive reduction over K, and having an integral modular invariant. Let us denote by Knr the maximal unramified extension of K contained in . There exists a smallest finite extension L of Knr over which E has good reduction. We determine in this paper the degree of the extension L/Knr.

AbstractLet E be an elliptic curve over ℚ that has good supersingular reduction at p > 3. We construct what we call the ±/±-Selmer groups of E over the ℤ2p-extension of an imaginary quadratic field K when the prime p splits completely over K/ℚ, and prove that they enjoy a property analogous to Mazur's control theorem.Furthermore, we propose a conjectural connection between the±/±-Selmer groups and Loeffler's two-variable ±/±-p-adic L-functions of elliptic curves.

AbstractLet E/Q be an elliptic curve with complex multiplication. We study the average size of τ(#E(Fp)) as p varies over primes of good ordinary reduction. We work out in detail the case of E: y2 = x3 − x, where we prove that $$\begin{equation} \sum_{\substack{p \leq x \\p \equiv 1\pmod{4}}} \tau(\#E({\bf{F}}_p)) \sim \left(\frac{5\pi}{16} \prod_{p > 2} \frac{p^4-\chi(p)}{p^2(p^2-1)}\right)x, \quad\text{as $x\to\infty$}. \end{equation}$$ Here χ is the nontrivial Dirichlet character modulo 4. The proof uses number field analogues of the Brun–Titchmarsh and Bombieri–Vinogradov theorems, along with a theorem of Wirsing on mean values of nonnegative multiplicative functions.Now suppose that E/Q is a non-CM elliptic curve. We conjecture that the sum of τ(#E(Fp)), taken over p ⩽ x of good reduction, is ~cEx for some cE > 0, and we give a heuristic argument suggesting the precise value of cE. Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis for Dedekind zeta functions, we prove that this sum is ≍Ex. The proof uses combinatorial ideas of Erdős.

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.

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.
