Non-commutative Iwasawa theory of abelian varieties over global function fields
Abstract
Let be an abelian variety defined over a global function field , and let be a prime distinct from the characteristic of . Let be a -adic Lie extension of that contains the cyclotomic -extension of . In this paper, we investigate the structure of the -primary Selmer group of over . We prove the -conjecture for . Furthermore, we show that both the -invariant of the Pontryagin dual of the Selmer group and the generalised -invariant of the Pontryagin dual of the Selmer group are zero, therby proving Mazur's conjecture for . We then relate the order of vanishing of the characteristic elements, evaluated at Artin representations, to the corank of the Selmer group of the corresponding twist of over the base field . Assuming the finiteness of the Tate-Shafarevich group, we establish that this corank equals the order of vanishing of the -function of at . Finally, we extend a theorem of Sechi - originally proved for elliptic curves without complex multiplication - to abelian varieties over global function fields. This is achieved by adapting the notion of generalised Euler characteristic, introduced by Zerbes for elliptic curves over number fields. This new invariant allows us, via Akashi series, to relate the generalised Euler characteristic of to the Euler characteristic of .
