Abstract

Let EE be an elliptic curve---defined over a number field KK---without complex multiplication and with good ordinary reduction at all the primes above a rational prime p5p \geq 5. We construct a pairing on the dual pp^\infty-Selmer group of EE over any strongly admissible pp-adic Lie extension K/KK_\infty/K under the assumption that it is a torsion module over the Iwasawa algebra of the Galois group G=Gal(K/K)G=\operatorname{Gal}(K_\infty/K). Under some mild additional hypotheses this gives an algebraic functional equation of the conjectured pp-adic L-function. As an application we construct completely faithful Selmer groups in case the pp-adic Lie extension is obtained by adjoining the pp-power division points of another non-CM elliptic curve AA.
