Abstract

Let AA be an abelian variety defined over a global function field FF of positive characteristic pp and let K/FK/F be a pp-adic Lie extension with Galois group GG. We provide a formula for the Euler characteristic χ(G,SelA(K)p)\chi(G,Sel_A(K)_p) of the pp-part of the Selmer group of AA over KK. In the special case G=ZpdG=\mathbb{Z}_p^d and AA a constant ordinary variety, using Akashi series, we show how the Euler characteristic of the dual of SelA(K)pSel_A(K)_p is related to special values of a pp-adic L\mathcal{L}-function.
