On the Pseudonullity of Fine Selmer groups over function fields

Number Theory 2025-04-25 v4

Abstract

The pp^\infty-fine Selmer group of an elliptic curve EE over a global field is a subgroup of the classical pp^\infty-Selmer group. Coates and Sujatha discovered that the structure of the fine Selmer group of EE over certain pp-adic Lie extensions of a number field is intricately related to some deep questions in classical Iwasawa theory. Inspired by a conjecture of Greenberg, they made prediction about the structure of the fine Selmer group over certain pp-adic Lie extensions of a number field, which they called Conjecture B. In this article, we discuss some new cases of Conjecture B and its analogues over some pp-adic Lie extensions of function fields of characteristic pp.
