Abstract

Let p5p\geq5 be a prime number and let KK be an imaginary quadratic field where pp is unramified. Under mild technical assumptions, in this paper we prove the non-existence of non-trivial finite Λ\Lambda-submodules of Pontryagin duals of signed Selmer groups of a pp-supersingular rational elliptic curve over the anticyclotomic Zp\mathbb Z_p-extension of KK, where Λ\Lambda is the corresponding Iwasawa algebra. In particular, we work under the assumption that our plus/minus Selmer groups have Λ\Lambda-corank 11, so they are not Λ\Lambda-cotorsion. Our main theorem extends to the supersingular case analogous non-existence results by Bertolini in the ordinary setting; furthermore, since we cover the case where pp is inert in KK, we refine previous results of Hatley-Lei-Vigni, which deal with pp-supersingular elliptic curves under the assumption that pp splits in KK.
