Abstract

A result of Bleher, Chinburg, Greenberg, Kakde, Pappas, Sharifi and Taylor has initiated the topic of higher codimension Iwasawa theory. As a generalization of the classical Iwasawa main conjecture, they prove a relationship between analytic objects (a pair of Katz's 22-variable pp-adic LL-functions) and algebraic objects (two "everywhere unramified'' Iwasawa modules) involving codimension two cycles in a 22-variable Iwasawa algebra. We prove a result by considering the restriction to an imaginary quadratic field KK (where an odd prime pp splits) of an elliptic curve EE, defined over Q\mathbb{Q}, with good supersingular reduction at pp. On the analytic side, we consider eight pairs of 22-variable pp-adic LL-functions in this setup (four of the 22-variable pp-adic LL-functions have been constructed by Loeffler and a fifth 22-variable pp-adic LL-function is due to Hida). On the algebraic side, we consider modifications of fine Selmer groups over the Zp2\mathbb{Z}_p^2-extension of KK. We also provide numerical evidence, using algorithms of Pollack, towards a pseudo-nullity conjecture of Coates-Sujatha.
