Abstract
We study the Iwasawa theory of a CM elliptic curve in the anticyclotomic -extension of the CM field, where is a prime of good, ordinary reduction for . When the complex -function of vanishes to even order, the two variable main conjecture of Rubin implies that the Pontryagin dual of the -power Selmer group over the anticyclotomic extension is a torsion Iwasawa module. When the order of vanishing is odd, work of Greenberg shows 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.
