Abstract

Let pp and \ell be prime numbers, and d1d\ge1 an integer. We formulate and prove Iwasawa main conjectures of the Picard groups and Bowen--Franks groups in Zpd\mathbb{Z}_p^d-towers of digraphs. In particular, we relate the \ell parts of these groups to certain pp-adic LL-functions defined using a voltage assignment. In the case where \ell is not equal to pp, we make use of the recent work of Bandini--Longhi to define the appropriate characteristic ideals. We also prove the growth of the \ell-part of these groups, generalizing classical results of Sinnott and Washington on ideal class groups of number fields. Finally, we introduce the concept of defect, which compare certain algebraic and analytic ranks related to Bowen--Franks groups and study their asymptotic behaviour in a Zpd\mathbb{Z}_p^d-tower.
