Derived $p$-adic heights and the leading coefficient of the Bertolini--Darmon--Prasanna $p$-adic $L$-function
Abstract
Let be an elliptic curve and let be an odd prime of good reduction for . Let be an imaginary quadratic field satisfying the classical Heegner hypothesis and in which splits. The goal of this paper is two-fold: (1) We formulate a -adic BSD conjecture for the -adic -function introduced by Bertolini--Darmon--Prasanna. (2) For an algebraic analogue of , we show that the ``leading coefficient'' part of our conjecture holds, and that the ``order of vanishing'' part follows from the expected ``maximal non-degeneracy'' of an anticyclotomic -adic height. In particular, when the Iwasawa--Greenberg Main Conjecture is known, our results determine the leading coefficient of at up to a -adic unit. Moreover, by adapting the approach of Burungale--Castella--Kim, we prove the main conjecture for supersingular primes under mild hypotheses. In the -ordinary case, and under some additional hypotheses, similar results were obtained by Agboola--Castella, but our method is new and completely independent from theirs, and apply to all good primes.
