On Howard's main conjecture and the Heegner point Kolyvagin system

Number Theory 2019-08-27 v1

Abstract

We upgrade Howard's divisibility toward Perrin-Riou's Heegner point Main Conjecture to an equality under some mild conditions. We do this by exploiting Wei Zhang's proof of the Kolyvagin conjecture. The main ingredient is an improvement of Howard's Kolyvagin system formalism. As another consequence of it, we establish the equivalence between this main conjecture and the primitivity of the Kolyvagin system in certain cases, by also exploiting a explicit reciprocity law for Heegner points.
